I was really hoping these privacy concerns would dissuade people from using WhatsApp. But I have a hidden agenda: I hate their web app. I just want a chat software I can use from anywhere.
Heh, let's be honest, Signal's isn't better (and I mean the desktop app, cause they don't have a web app). It randomly corrupts the sqlite database forcing me to set it up all over again, it takes a significantly long time to even do the setup process, and can't even do sms at all.
It allows you to connect from multiple devices simultaneously and you don’t need to have your mobile charged and connected. That’s second only to actually be able to send messages to me.
Don’t forget about the sync time if you left it closed for a long time. On my new laptop it's not so horrendous but on my old computer I just gave up using it there.
Telegram is horrendously insecure, it’s equal to or probably even worse than Facebook Messenger. It should be avoided like the plague by anyone seeking strong privacy protection.
