I have a dilema and would like some advice...
I have an old Blackberry for my punting. Perfect for text and phone, small and discreet and I've got a system for keeping it hidden from Wifey.
I have an Android phone for normal life which i also run my Secret Twitter account from. All good, once logged out nothing can be traced.
Problem...
I am under increasing pressure from Wife and Friends to get WhatsApp installed on my Android phone.
I can undertsand that this a brilliant tool to stay in touch.....in ones NORMAL life Yes. But my secret life, it scares the shit outta me !!!
I dont want this for several of reasons...
I dont really understand what it can and cant do. I dont want innapropriate messages accidentally turning up in my phone!
I dont want the human race to have access to my secret life.
I dont want all my movements to be seen. ie when I've read a message etc
I dont want to be swapping pics or asked to video call when I'm somewhere i shouldnt be.
In short I see it as a compromise to my privacy and security.
So far I have resited the requests but it is getting difficult to reason and justify my reluctance.
Any comments about how I may limit my risk will be greatly appreciated.....
