In just a few months, Ten Ten has become one of the most popular and potentially dangerous apps in recent times. With millions of downloads worldwide, this app for communication is quickly gaining popularity, especially among younger users. Created by French developers Jule Colmar and Antoine Baché, Ten Ten combines features from social networks with characteristics of private communication services like WhatsApp.
One of its unique features is the ability to transform your phone into a walkie-talkie, allowing live audio communication with contacts even if the phone screen is locked. This feature has appealed to millions of young people around the world but has raised concerns for the French Minister of the Interior, Camille Chaize, due to potential privacy and security risks.
Despite its popularity, Ten Ten has faced criticism for the amount of personal data it collects from users, including photos, device IDs, contacts, and email addresses. There are concerns about the ease with which unwanted contacts with strangers can be made and the lack of privacy and security measures associated with its use. The French government recommends caution when using Ten Ten and advises parents to supervise their children’s use of the app to minimize the risk of harassment.
Ten Ten is available for both iOS and Android users and is free to download and use, with no in-app purchases. It can now be downloaded and used in Spain through the App Store for iOS and Google Play Store for Android. The real-time walkie-talkie format of the app has been praised for its innovative communication features but has also raised concerns about online harassment and invasion of privacy. Users are encouraged to use the app with caution and take steps to protect their personal information while using it.
