We have people friends or relatives who when you are together, maybe you can share a picture or show them from your phone.
But they will scroll to the next picture without your consent .
Another scenario is when a person can borrow your phone close friend or relative be it your sister or brother. Then the next thing they do is swap to your messages or pictures .
I recently put a password to my WhatsApp using my finger print cause that's where people do run to whenever they get a chance or swiping pictures I haven't put a security there but if I get a chanCe, I will.
What do you think of such characters?

I have had that's why I decided to do so some people are just mannerless. It's great you haven't experienced that it's so terrible

Pretty is the only person who borrows my phone. I don't care if she looks through it. (I don't think she does anything except make calls and sends texts but I also don't pay a lot of attention to what she's doing with it.)

@Laurakemunto I understand. Pretty is unsupervised on my phone because she's 35 years old. 
But she finally got her own phone about a year ago, but still gives people my phone number so they don't call her phone.

@DaddyEvil That's a nice trick I used to do that when I had finished school I did give out my mom's number even after getting my own phone

Sometimes it happens with someone you never expected but with the world of today, anything is possible!

That's great sometimes you don't give but just show something maybe to a friend , relative or colleague and they only want to see the next photo or message

A rule of thumb, if you don't something to be seen, don't take it or post it. If you're that paranoid of people looking through your phone, don't hand it over. If you do, simply lock them into the app you want them to stay on. All modern phones have a feature that allows you to do this.

Very true I agree with you some humans need to be controlled even in very minor things where common sense should be made use of
