Those phones can be searched for messages and recipients in case of misuse. Remember when President Obama became POTUS and he was told he had to give up his "personal" Blackberry? He hated it but he did because, ... them's the rules! The real reason of course is the tightest security on government phones and networks.

Trump came in and threw all the rulebooks out. Now look at the chaos he has to live with day in, and day out.
