PSA: The customer data question I faced with a phone repair

I was replacing a screen on a phone and saw text messages pop up during testing. The owner didn't ask me to look at their stuff, so it felt like I was snooping. In my experience, this happens more than you'd think and it's a tricky spot. I now make a point to tell people I might see private info during checks. Take this with a grain of salt, but having a clear talk first saves hassle.

Think about how seeing private info might weigh on you personally over time.

Wait, they show you everything?

Actually, they don't show you everything. The system hides the most sensitive details.
