What's App?

My kids told me about this App (Application for smartphones) and what it does is allows you to contact friends and relatives in this country and others in an encrypted way. Also, some countries you cannot Skype into or out of for some reason but sometimes you can use What's App instead.

Though because of a full desktop or full laptop size picture you can get through Skype it is better, still you can type texts through What's App and even talk through What's app using Wifi or Data (depending upon where you are on earth). In other words you don't want to burn U.S. data overseas or you might wind up owing thousands of dollars to Verizon or AT& T or whoever you are with by the time you come back. So, you have to be smart about all this.

But, you can send encrypted picture, texts, and even talk through WIFI for free from other countries and have it encrypted so you don't have to worry about criminals intercepting your transmissions whether they be texts or verbal conversations.

People say governments cannot de-encrypt your transmissions but I'm not sure I really believe it or not. But, you might just be safe from Criminals with something like What's APP. So, possibly using What's App through your Iphone would still be secure through WIFI or Data (data only if you are using your phone in the U.S.)

I think there are apps not only for Iphone but also for Android and possibly also for Windows for "What's App". If you are not used to downloading applications to your Iphone you probably should contact someone you know ages 12 to 30 or older. They could not only download it for you to your phone but also teach you how to use it here in the U.S. or to other countries around the world. However, if you want a big picture of whoever you are talking to Skype is better. However, Skype is never secure but What's App is supposed to be (whatever that means).
