Some of my family are keen for me to add the app for Viber so that they can send me photos and videos with comments easily. Sounds tempting but on googling it there seem to be some reservations about its security. It seems anybody can access anything. There isn't going to be anything that private and I have no secrets! but I'd like some other opinions.

I already get their photographs perfectly well - the topic came up when I said the videos on some of their phones all come up as landscape and I have to put them on Google Drive on my tablet to see them the right way up!

I have it on my mobile, free calls to whoever else has it all over the world. Regularly speak to my children in Guatemala and send and receive photos.

You can also use Whatsapp for sending texts and photos for free :-D

thanks - daughter tells me they only use it for photos and videos, no messages except for comments on photos
