Smartphone security is set to see a massive boost thanks to the ongoing Apple/FBI debate.
As The Guardian reports, Facebook, Google and Snapchat are among a number of leading tech companies working on increasing their private technology.
In the coming weeks Facebook will be beefing up security on WhatsApp, moving to encrypt voice calls, as well as look to make Facebook Messenger more secure.
Snapchat will be looking to make its photo messaging more secure in light of recent rumours third party applications could make users data at risk.
Google will also be expanding uses for its encrypted email.
What does this all mean for you?
It could make sure that in future, your user information is safer, better encrypted and less open to snoopers from third parties.
The next stage in tech security is here.
