Compared to traditional social media platforms like
and
TikTok
, users can use Whisper while remaining completely anonymous, so they can
keep their real identities safe
. Posted can be in the form of text and images, and the platform features
special groups
that talk about all kinds of topics and interests.
Sharing anonymously
Whisper is essentially an
anonymous
social media
platform
for those looking for a way to voice out their thoughts while keeping their identity safe. When you open the app, you get a
feed of random posts
based on what's popular and new, and those near to your location. You can also create or join groups depending on what interests you.
Tap the + button to
create a post
aptly called a 'whisper' wherein you can write anything and customize it with different fonts. Change the background by searching the web or upload your own. Anyone who views it can publicly reply via comments or send you a
private message
directly. Throughout the whole experience, you will use an
online handle
to interact with others.
Going to message, you can navigate to the Chat section where you can
view all your conversations
with other people privately or through groups. Now, the platform has raised many concerns over its
lack of censorship or moderation
for sensitive content that pretty much anyone can see. Also, there have been multiple cases where the platform has been
used for something illegal
and purposes with ill intent.
Interesting but worrisome
Overall, Whisper has managed to offer
something unique and different
with its approach to anonymity, essentially letting you say anything you want. However, it has also set itself up to be misused by some individuals and rightfully raises concerns. While a novel idea, it still needs to work on execution and putting up safeguards. Nevertheless, it's still worth checking out.
