Almost free texting Age limit 16 Privacy -Jan Koum, founder of WhatsApp: “Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA, and we built WhatsApp
around the goal of knowing as little about you as possible: You don’t have to give us your name and we don’t ask for your email address. We don’t know your birthday. We don’t know your home address. We don’t know where you work. We don’t know your likes, what you search for on the internet or collect your GPS location. None of that data has ever been collected and stored by WhatsApp, and we really have no plans to change that.
You can add pictures to texts
