Can't I just use the camera in WhatsApp?

No. It is near impossible to not breach privacy regulations doing this. Below we list six ways privacy regulation violations often occur.

1. There is no documentation of consent.
2. Patient date may travel internationally through Apple, Google or your Telco's servers.
3. You're storing clinical photos alongside personal content.
4. De-identifying photos isn't/can't be done properly.
5. Clinical photos may be accessible if you lose your phone.
6. There is a question over the encryption used.
