Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei and Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may Allah protect them):
It is not permissible to act on someone else's property without their permission. Therefore, you can advise them against wrongdoing, but you should not take action on their phone by deleting what is on it.
May you be successful in all good.
