I guess everyone is aware of recent data usage terms with whtasapp. An alternative to it is Signal.org and claims that it does otherway.

Lol if you have used WhatsApp primarily thus far then no comments. Telegram is what I use but I’m not sure about Signal, it didn’t feel very convenient to use Signal for the brief period i used it.
What is wrong in using whatsapp so far?
I’m not sure why, but I have more inertia in changing to different platform, never registered on telegram so far. Now, I may continue to use whatsapp, coz I hardly use and it is mostly for basic communication. I don’t have fb installed to show me non-related advts. If most of my contacts move to signal, then I will consider it as a trigger
The alternative of whatsapp is signal and telegram must try
Assume dat watever non banking info u have online is alrdy in public
Meanwhile distance relationship couple who do everything virtually
I consider telegram is not that much safer as chat can clear from any side any time. So no backup if someone cheat you.
is there any INDIAN brand – I would like to try that.
Ha..why not…Jio Chat Hai na 🤦♂️😂😂
Hua kya hai koi kuch simple words mein samjhayega?
Now It’s Time To Launch Desidime Messenger…

@bumblefoot What You Think on That…??
Good idea but any kind of political discussion should not be allowed there….
Saavdhaan India – Agar koi Ladki tumko WhatsApp se Signal pe invite kare toh aankh band karke chale mat jaana.
I use telegram and you wont believe how great it is.. Although if you knew chinese wechat and such have a lot of functionality as well.. But Telegram is like fb and twitter and google all rolled into one..
And it is also owned by facebook.
Anyway to export all whats app messages to readable format.?
I remember using one tool long time back. Something called whatsapp decrypter. It takes WhatsApp database as input and the account specific encryption key. It will let us view the complete contacts chat etc. I’m not sure if WhatsApp developers changed anything in between to prevent viewing the database files
The main problem is people in India don’t care about their privacy because they don’t know how these tech giants can use their data against them. So many people will stick to whatsapp. I already changed to telegram and asked my family and friends to message me there since I will not be available on whatapp
On Monday, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported that Telegram had taken second place in the US downloads chart, according to exclusive data from the Sensor Tower market research agency. Between Wednesday and Sunday last week, more than half a million Americans downloaded the app, almost three times as many as the week before. It boasts of advanced security options, such as “self-destructing messages” for those “looking for extra privacy.”
Earlier this week, the founder of Telegram warned that moves to entirely block access to certain online communities were more of a threat to society than censorship on those sites alone. In a post on his official channel, Pavel Durov, who’d previously created Russia’s most popular social network VK, warned that “the Apple-Google duopoly poses a much bigger problem for freedoms than Twitter.” This, he argued, is because they can use their digital might to effectively shut down app-based services without oversight.
Pavel Chikov, the head of human rights group Agora, which assisted Telegram in a subsequent case, said that the requests were impossible to meet. “The architecture of the service, using end-to-end encryption,” he said “does not allow the service administrator to access the contents of secret chats.” As such, there is no way for users’ conversations to be monitored.
While many social media users are abandoning established services such as Facebook and Twitter, or being blocked from the platforms, a Russian-made messaging service has risen to become one of America’s most popular apps.
