Which is actually a good reason for entities subject to GDPR to forbid use of personal messaging apps on work devices... (And to forbid users to use work / official apps for personal messaging.)

That sounds like a simple solution but it is not that simple, employees have a right to use work tools for personal reasons too within reason.

And GDPR explicitly forbids personal items to be released during discovery even to jurisdictions that require that.

When all the "simple solutions" are "not that simple," maybe it's a problem with the regulations, not the solutions...
