New personal account feature privacy question when using alongside a work account.

Anyone know if I were to add a personal (preview) account to my phone's Teams app does my company have the ability to view my messages? I currently have a company teams account installed on my phone and desktop. I'm asking because when I install teams, at least on a PC, It asks if I want my organization to be able to manage the device or the app... If they can manage the app can they also manage my personal messages in the app? Any information would be greatly appreciated!

    Your work account and personal account are separate, your work account will not have access to your personal account and vice versa.

     

    Regarding the clause "if I want my organization to be able to manage the device or the app", when this option is enabled on your work account, your office will be able to manage your device and applications.
