Hi all, I’m looking into ways to protect my privacy while using WhatsApp, particularly in a professional setting where separating personal and work-related communications is crucial. I’m thinking of buying a dual SIM phone and am considering strategies to sandbox my personal contacts, pictures, and media from those associated with my work profile on WhatsApp.
Has anyone successfully done this using two SIM cards on the same device? I’m staunchly anti-Facebook and its obtrusive privacy-related practices, so ideally I want to prevent cross-contamination of personal and work-related data, including contacts, photos, and media shared through the app. Will this be a good strategy? Are there any known risks or precautions I should take to minimize the risk of my data being shared or accessed by third parties? - Thanks all, I’d appreciate any comments.
Thanks for the reply, aside from not getting much interest in this post I really appreciate the two open source apps you’ve suggested on Fdroid.
I use Island currently, but it’s outdated now, and Shelter seems like the way to go. I also didn’t know about the contacts app that you suggested, but I will check it out for sure. Cheers again.
