Hi all
Got a little problem and wonder if anyone can offer some help?
My employer wants me to install Whasapp on my phone, I am a bit nervous about this and frankly, I really dont want my other half to see I have this, and she has my work mobile no in here phone and she has Whatsapp, it is a sensitive subject....so, is there any way to install Whatsapp, but that she would not automatically see that I have it installed? some sort of way to block certain contacts from even seeing I have it??
Might be a strange request! Sorry

Why does your employer want you to install it? What would your employer do if you didn't have a smartphone?1

Tell your employer to contact you using Messages. I think that's on all phones but could be wrong.

We use what'sapp at work through a corporate client so we can comply with data protection rules.
Perhaps your company would consider the same if you suggest it may be a better solution.

I don't believe there's a way to stop someone seeing you have it, I blocked myself (on another number) a while ago and it just showed as a blank profile.💙💛 💔0 -
With cuedesk there is no installation.. it's just a website you log in to.CKhalvashi said:

If your employer is happy to provide you with a phone on which you can install Whatsapp, then no problem.Otherwise, ignore their "request"Things that are differerent: draw & drawer, brought & bought, loose & lose, dose & does, payed & paid0
