Yes, I found that too Muse so I thought I would ask for other experiences.

Never heard of it kittylester so I googled it and came up with this: It is free and secure. However, the app is not safe from malicious activities like cyberbullying, sexting, and pornography. It's very popular with teenagers. I find this quite worrying.

I've now found and use SIGNAL as an alternative to WhatsApp. It is reported to be more secure.

My brother in law says it is far more secure and that we should use Line rather than WhatsApp?

Anyone have any experience/comments?
