DeleteUsing a fake number when texting or calling could be important for privacy. No one would know it was you talking to whoever you are talking too. Many people can hack things and get to your personal messages. Using one of these apps, that would not happen. The hushed app would work for me because it deletes messages right away.
ReplyDeleteI would personally use hush, because you can talk to other people that use it. And you can delete pictures that you have. I would use a fake number when I would call someone that I didn't want to know was me. But honestly I wouldn't do that to begin with, so really I would never use a app like that.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's necessary at all (at least not for me), because I have nothing to hide. This app serves one purpose: to help people hide suspicious/illegal actions from those who would persecute them. However, it's added security, which people are always hungering for in our privacy invasive society. If I were for some reason to use one of these apps, it would probably be Hushed. The added feature of messaging other users of this app privately is enticing, and I would gravitate towards it.
ReplyDeleteYou could use a fake number when you are trying to hide something from someone. Also, you could use it for when you are talking to someone and you do not want to give them your real number. Or you and your friend can use the fake numbers to keep your conversation a secret. The burner would work best for me because you could use it as a regular phone. You would not need to use your real phone number, you could use a fake one.
