   Note my use of "friends" not friends.  When I asked why I was told that   
   what I don't know can't hurt me.   
      
   As for whatsapp, as I understand it, it is all or nothing thing about   
   what it uploads, and some of them are people that I work with, so we   
   need each others phone numbers whilst working.  They think I'm odd for   
   not using it.
