- satjot 14y agoI sometimes use Gryphn to send super secure messages like giving a client my bank account #.
- tijs 14y agoLike WhatsApp, Viber is free to use and has no advertising model. If they are not making money off me directly i have to wonder how safe my data actually is with this service.
- denzil_correa 14y agoWhatsApp is not free to use. iOS users are charged a flat 99c fee while Android users are charged 1$ a year from the second year onwards. I do not know how secure Viber is but they have been steadilu acquiring good user base. If I was Viber, I would cash on this opportunity to write a blog or advertise their security models.
- vintagius 14y agoThe whole charge after one year model on other platforms is incorrect. Iv never met anyone except for IOS people that was charged by whatsapp after 365 days have elapsed.
- mverwijs 14y agoI' ve been using WhatsApp well over a year on Android. I got a free renewal in june. Never paid a cent.
- denzil_correa 14y agoSure, you may have but are you the exception or the rule?
- msh 14y agoBut is it more secure?
- denzil_correa 14y agoNo way to know. The way I see it I have two otions in te worst case scenario Option1 - Use an insecure paid app Option2 - Use an insecure free app I am not sure about you but I will choose Option2 gien the constraints and restrict my use to communications which have no privacy problems.
