Permissions management should prevent all of those things from ever happening. And if you’re still not sure (eg, needing to temporarily provide storage access), you can use an app like Shelter to further prevent them from accessing sensitive (ie almost all) files on your phone.
ETA: Telegram has access to almost all your messages to begin with, unless you go through a very specific and inconvenient route… WhatsApp at least tries to maintain some form of to E2EE encryption; it shouldn’t be able to see anything you send or received.
It’s just easier to use a single app. I don’t use any of the services I mention to send any private info. Like I said in a different reply, Telegram is for unraid notifications, WhatsApp is for my landlord to yell at me, and Discord is public servers.
All already public info or basic alerts. I’d prefer just not having a bunch of apps installed.
That’s fair enough. I just know what I like, and how to get it (and in the off chance anybody else happens to be curious, well, hopefully that helps them out some).
Data’s worth a lot of money, after all, make sure you don’t give it away in exchange for too little convenience 😉

I appreciate you sharing this information. I didn’t know about Shelter
