Should we really always lock our phones? I've asked this question a couple of times.

  • Well, yeah! All the time. Some people won't just mind their business. They get ahold of your phone & the next place their going is your messageas or gallery. Jeez!

  • Thing is, people just love prying. There's this thing that happens when you're trying to show a friend a picture on your phone, you hand it over, & the next thing they're doing is swiping left or righ.

  • How do you think people's nudes or sex footage get leaked. Something meant for your private pleasure should be tucked away behind heavy passwords and complicated patterns

  • My chats are private, for my reading pleasure only. So I'd lock it.

  • I caught my room mate watching porn on my phone ; wasting my data. Mehn! Some people just don't know how to keep their shit to themselves. Lock it up.

  • It kinda depends on the environment. If you're with bae or Boo, you shouldn't create the impression that you have something to hide. Right?

People have different answers to the aforementioned question. Like a belly button, everyone is entitled to an opinion.

The thing is; the mobile device has metamorphosed, from, being just an accessory to being part of our lives. Our life service somewhat connected to our phones ; that little window that allows us take a peek at a world of our fantasy.

It gives us an opportunity to indulge in these fantasies. We sometimes take off the veil of pretense for a while, comfortable with who we are. In those brief moments, we chat away without filters, indulge ourselves in acts we would not ordinarily admit to.

It's like a door into a world of fun and pleasure. We alone hold the key to this door. So, we lock it twice and pull down the window blinds; denying access to anyone but us.

We don't want people discovering the dirt under the carpet or our dirty linen. We value our status or the reputation we've carefully weaved for ourselves. So, let the question answer itself.
