Hi all,

can anyone help me in understanding the best way of using such apps in a phone that should be secure? Braxman said you shouldn’t use Whatsapp/Instagram at all but for me, unfortunately, all my contacts use Whatsapp so avoiding it is a mess.

At the moment, Whatsapp is the only app that is preventing me from switching to my Brax3 phone.

Is it only about contacts/location? What are the problem of this app?

Shelter can be helpful?

Thanks a lot guys!

Davide

I think the problem is its a Meta product. 😀 A lot of people say to not use any of their apps and only access the sites thru a browser.

I don’t use Whatsapp, I use Signal, so not sure if you can use Whatsapp thru a browser or not?

Or slowly try to get people your main friends and family to switch to Signal, thats what I did.

I dont even have a “real” FB account 🤣 its a fake one with fake name fake email and throwaway numbers and all that. I post nothing personal or no pictures at all, mostly use it to go to some group pages.
