    Interesting.. "The guidance says border agents cannot use the
    device to access information stored remotely, such as on "the
    cloud," and will ask travellers to turn off their device's
    connectivity or do so themselves to avoid accessing that data."

    "However, agents can search people's email, text and WhatsApp
    messages, and any other content that's accessible on a device."

    "Travellers are "obligated" to present their electronic devices
    and the information stored on it "in a condition that allows
    for the examination of the device and its contents," the CBP
    says, including providing necessary passwords."

    Wrt to Telegram, Session, et al.. I suppose the user could
    uninstall the apps prior to inpection of a device, and then
    reinstall them after clearance from border security.
