Legacy

If I choose someone for Legacy, who has an IPhone or Apple device, is there anyway to limit their access so they can see everything except for messages? All messages from texting or iPhone to iPhone messages and Facebook messenger messages, is there any way to keep those private after I pass away and the Legacy gets access to my iPhone?

iPhone 11, 15
