I'm glad it's not called RedPhone for Android users, they may get it confused with YouRed I mean YouTubeRed I mean RedTube or whatever it's called now. In all seriousness though - what was (is) with the trend of apps with Red in the name? Red to me gives the idea of danger or something that's stopped / blocked.
- maxerickson 11y agoThere's a long history of calling a secure phone a red phone, like the connection between Moscow and Washington during the Cold War. In the cheesy TV show from the 60s, Batman and the police commissioner had literal red phones that they used to talk to each other.
- mrmondo 11y agoAh! That's quite interesting and now that you say it I of course remember seeing red phones in films in such situations. Thank you for taking he time to reply.
