Security & Privacy

Can my spouse read my messages through our home Wi-Fi?

NO, IF YOUR MESSAGING APP USES MODERN ENCRYPTION.
The home router panel cannot show the text of messages or photos from Telegram and WhatsApp because the data is encrypted. However, without additional protection, your activity times and a list of visited websites can still be tracked.

What Your Router Actually Shows

Any modern router keeps a query log showing IP addresses and domain names of resources your phone connects to. A home administrator can see that you visited a dating app or a specific website, but reading the text inside your chats is impossible thanks to end-to-end protocol encryption.
