1. If you have a device which is safe from cybersecurity view, but if you will download Messenger app (or any popular app), will it collect all data from a device? If you will not write satanic things on this app, can you use it (for communition with people from school/work)?

2. If you used an email on an unprotected device, can you use this same email on a same device (but this time protected) or do you have to create a new one?

1. Regardless of the device you have, new or old, once you download popular apps like Messenger or anything like that it will instantly collect your data. That is how social media networks work on their basis.

2. Better to create another email, as to not have complications with further attacks. Change passwords and create new email as once someone hacked your email, he / she doesn't rely on the device to necessarily hack it, but rather on the details of the email account in question

So I can't use such apps? Even though I will block permissions, use VPN and so on, will they still somehow get data about a device? I mean for sure they will know what I am doing inside the app, but outside?
