Yep. Updated mine. Only used for family stuff anyway so not much use to hackers.

Putin may not want to send in the hit squad but I'm sure someone would like to know your house is empty and you're miles away or that your children/grandchildren are alone on their way to the park.
  Perhaps I'm overly paranoid but I used to work in IT so I know how easy it is for things to go wrong or  to be exploited.

I'm the same Sheila99, It allowed them to turn on camera and mic which is the bit I find creepy, and access emails etc x

Mind they would learn a lot about the menopause 😂 x

No Grandchildren and my 6 foot lads can take care of themselves.

Our messages are more of the football scores and dinners ready nature.

I would say that I never, ever do online banking or purchase anything, on my phone. I just don't trust a mobiles security.

Online shopping and banking has been wonderful, when not well. But I only do it when the WiFi is secure. Never used what's app. Wouldn't know how to go about it or twitter for that matter. I rarely look at face book. This forum is the nearest to social media for me!
