So I'll throw in some additional information in the mix.

Whatsapp, Snapchat, Facetime, Skype, etc. Be very careful with text/video messaging services especially if they can link to a social media account (See Facebook acquisition of Whatsapp). Your basic texting app that comes with mainly all cellphones should do the trick. Expect more scrutiny of social media platforms and text/video app services because of lone wolf terrorist attacks that have happened this year.

There is no such thing as 100% security when it comes to technology, it all depends on how much of the features you want to disable to keep yourself secure.

I have three SF friends, all of them have Facebooks, SnapChats, etc. I used to get Instagram photos from when they were in the Q. Just today one of them posted a workout selfie from their gym in Afghanistan. I think this info is very dramatic. I'm not saying there aren't social media drops, but obviously 18x candidates and tabbed SF soldiers can maintain an active social media presence.
