I have no qualms about lending my phone for my friends to play but 2 of them have conveniently went to my Whatsapp to read messages between my bf and I. Although we have nothing to hide, I regard my messages with him as something very private and I do not like it when my friends do that without my permission. Aren't messages meant to be private? In my part I would think so because those 2 friends of mine would never allow their messages to be read. So why are they doing this to others? I even have to set a password for my messages but one of them would try to hack and the other simply would stoop to low levels just to read my messages even though I have expressed my disapproval and unhappiness. They simply shrugged it off. It has even come to the point whereby I officially banned them from touching my phone and told my friends not to lend them my phone should they request for it. Still, it makes me frustrated. Why do such rude people who disregard the privacy of others still exist? Reply to this Question

 Maybe rude people who disregard the privacy of others still exist because these " others " let them get away with it and there are no consequences to pay. Like in your case . You get mad, you get frustrated, you complain.. but you still count them among your friends. Why ? They shrugged it off- you shrug THEM off. What they have done is nothing friendly , a real friend would not do that. Maybe we can forgive an one time transgression due to curiosity, but once you made clear your displeasure, that should have been more than enough , and continuing is an act of open disrespect. Be more discriminating in choosing your friendships, and don't even call " friends " all the people you hang out with. Chatting and hanging out and laughing together is nice and fun, but... true friendship is based on deeper stuff ,including respect.

they are probably jealous of the relationship you and your boyfriend have these are not true friends true friends would not read your personal messages or behave the way they are i would ask yourself do you consider them friends after the way they treat you maybe its time you got some new friends who you can trust

 They're not true friends who you can rely on. True friend will always protect you and lend his/her hands whenever in trouble,not making fun of you at all.
Mark closely who the culprit are. Now you can judge them back
