I'm about to travel to a country with very strict regulations, and during my last visit, they searched my phone for 10 hours and used software to access my data. I'm concerned about privacy, especially regarding political messages and emails. What's the best way for me to delete these from my devices to ensure they can't be recovered? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, once you post something online or send a message, there's a good chance it can be recovered. Your safest bet might be to think twice about traveling to places where your political views could pose a risk. Prioritize your safety!

A strategy to keep your info safe is to not have any of these accounts logged in on your phone. If they can't find your credentials stored, you’re in a safer position. Just make sure you are prepared for their questions about your accounts, though!
