# Message Privacy Settings

Threadly message logs are private by default. Only the sender and people they approve can see a message's content, destinations and engagement. Teammates can request access.

Every message's details in Threadly (its content, destinations and engagement) are **private by default**. Only the **person who sent it** and the people they **approve** can open them in Logs & Analytics.

## Requesting access

If you open a message you didn't send, you'll see **🔒 Access Denied**.

1. Click **Request Access**.
2. The sender gets a DM with the request, showing the message's destinations and body, and can **✅ Approve** or **❌ Deny** it.
3. While you wait, the button shows **⏳ Access Requested**.

## What approved viewers can see

Approved viewers can see the message body and all **public** channel destinations. They **can't** see any **private** channels the message was sent to. The sender is reminded of this when they approve.
