In this episode of Your Tech Makeover, Frank Bravo breaks down the buzz around encrypted messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, and iMessage. Why are government officials using them for sensitive conversations—and what does that mean for the rest of us?
Frank dives into:
What end-to-end encryption actually means
How these popular apps compare (Signal vs. WhatsApp vs. Apple Messages and Google Chat)
What recent headlines say about how these apps are used—and misused
Practical tips for protecting your messages and your privacy
When you shouldn’t be using encrypted messaging apps
Whether you're texting your best friend or sending a confidential work message, this episode helps you navigate private messaging with confidence (and maybe a little less anxiety before hitting "Send").
🔐 Tech doesn’t have to be scary—it just has to be smart.
