The task is to compare all advantages and disadvantages of this two services. So, signal vs WhatsApp, what is better and why? We will overview a new Service in this article.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px; font-weight: bold;\"><br \/>\nWhat do people choose all over the world between WhatsApp and Signal messengers<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Signal, the messenger app that fighting with WhatsApp, now tops the list of smartphone downloads and installations. Signal&#8217;s rapid growth is a direct consequence of the WhatsApp privacy debate.<\/p>\n<p>People repeatedly &#8220;spotted&#8221; Facebook in controversial situations related to user privacy. The latest update for its subsidiary program WhatsApp, managed to &#8220;stir up the Internet community&#8221; and make users look for alternative messengers. We will not talk about Russian Telegram now, although it is used all over the world, but will devote time to the &#8220;unhooked&#8221; from Facebook branch &#8220;Signal&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Signal, like Telegram, has become an alternative for users. Here&#8217;s what Telegram founder Pavel Durov wrote: &#8220;Telegram&#8217;s encrypted messaging app has registered 25 million new users in the last 72 hours. That&#8217;s right after the WhatsApp privacy policy update.<\/p>\n<p>And the little-known messenger Signal got an active download. Thanks to support from people like Tesla CEO Ilon Musk, as well as famous whistleblower Edward Snowden. The private messaging app is on its way to reaching the previously unfathomable milestone of 1 million daily downloads. Despite WhatsApp issuing numerous clarifications stating that the update does not affect regular users&#8217; data, Signal and Telegram are seeing huge numbers of new users. We continue or conversation about the theme &#8220;signal vs WhatsApp&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_is_signal_application\"><\/span>What is Signal application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Signal is an application for exchanging encrypted messages. It is a more confidential alternative to WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, Skype or iMessage. Signal is not owned by any corporation. It is developed by a non-profit foundation of the same name with donations only Donate to Signal. The messenger does not try to collect data about you or show ads.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why_signal_application_has_suddenly_become_so_popular\"><\/span>Why Signal application has suddenly become so popular<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This month, WhatsApp made everyone &#8220;happy&#8221; by updating the terms of its privacy policy. Now the messenger will have to share user data with its parent company, Facebook. It is likely that it has done so before, but now the corporation has decided to legitimize it.<\/p>\n<p>Among the information that WhatsApp wants to transfer WhatsApp gives users an ultimatum: Share data with Facebook or stop using the app on Facebook, phone numbers of users and all other people stored in address books, names and pictures of profiles, messages about the status of users, including the time of the last time they went online, data from the application logs, information about purchases, the location of the person and other &#8220;little things&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"whatsapp_application_will_use_all_of_this_information_independently_and_share_it_both_with_its_own_companies_and_with_third-party_organizations\"><\/span>Whatsapp application will use all of this information independently and share it both with its own companies and with third-party organizations.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The messenger was hit with such a barrage of criticism that the developers hastily postponed the change of the agreement to May 15, swearing that confidentiality is sacred for them. But it was too late, and many users went in search of an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Signal messenger wasn&#8217;t born yesterday &#8211; it has been under development since 2013. It used to be very popular with journalists, activists, and members of human rights organizations &#8211; in general, all those who care about keeping their correspondence private. But now it&#8217;s also growing in popularity among ordinary people who are unhappy with WhatsApp&#8217;s policies.<\/p>\n<p><em>By comparison, 11 million people downloaded Telegram app \u00a0over the same time period, while WhatsApp&#8217;s number of downloads dropped from 11.3 million to 9.2 million.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In view of these events, such important people as Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey praised Signal, and Edward Snowden has claimed since 2015 that he uses it to avoid FBI surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not happy about the prospect of WhatsApp openly sharing your personal data with no one you know, Signal is just what you need.<\/p>\n<p>What Signal can do<br \/>\nPretty much the same as any other messenger. It allows you to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exchange messages<\/li>\n<li>Call or video chat (up to 8 participants)<\/li>\n<li>Send voice messages, photos, videos, stickers, emoji<\/li>\n<li>Share contacts and your location on the map<\/li>\n<li>Create group chats (for up to 1,000 people)In conclusion, our fighting &#8220;WhatsApp vs Signal&#8221; ended with Signal&#8217;s victory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span
