Solution
Both the Android and Apple smartphones offer full handset (disk) encryption. On the Android phone this needs to be enabled manually and on the iPhone you are simply required to set up a security Passcode to enable disk encryption automatically. This will ensure all files and messages on your handset cannot be accessed without knowing the handset's password.
If you forget the phone's password you will need to restore the phone back to its original setting. Your phone would need to be synced with your Google or iTunes account so as not to lose any data. On the other hand, syncing your phone with these cloud providers means that there is a duplicate of all of your data in the cloud.
If you just want to encrypt your messages on the phone, please use TextSecure on Android and Signal on iPhone
