Here’s how: Red Phone is an encrypted voice system, such that only the recipient of your call can make sense of what you’re saying. Get it on Android or iOS here.

Sadly, JLaw was one of the many stars exposed in the so-called “Fappening,” the awful event where private photos in iCloud services of the stars were raided and released on the internet (and it got weird from there).
