Interesting.. "The guidance says border agents cannot use the  
device to access information stored remotely, such as on "the  
cloud," and will ask travellers to turn off their device's  
connectivity or do so themselves to avoid accessing that data."

"However, agents can search people's email, text and WhatsApp
messages, and any other content that's accessible on a device."

"Travellers are "obligated" to present their electronic devices
and the information stored on it "in a condition that allows
for the examination of the device and its contents," the CBP
says, including providing necessary passwords."

Wrt to Telegram, Session, et al.. I suppose the user could
uninstall the apps prior to inpection of a device, and then
reinstall them after clearance from border security.
