Like taking your phone and go through your WhatsApp messages?

If that's a concern you could set up a password to access any sensible app or chat within that app.

I think that is a more sensible approach. As if you are targeted by any reason an undercover cop could get a hold on your unlocked phone by many different ways.

Seems like a good use for android app pinning, I think that locks the phone to that app until unlocked
