Re: WhatsApp too?

WhatsApp has uses for group-based text messages and also photo/video messaging, although the "free WiFi" generation seem content to use it for all messaging too. Aye, we have this amazing invention called text messages....

On Android at least, you can nail down the permissions to gallery and keyboard only. Deny call and camera permissions and hey presto. But you're right, wherever FB are involved.....
