telegram all the way.. privacy is a myth anyway..
at least we have great features and seamless sync
Signal is the best
Signal one day how many message we can send like whatsapp or normal message
For customers who has privacy as there’s 1st priority
U have can’t use android with google services and Facebook services whatever they are providing free it comes at cost which we won’t pay with money, sometimes it is data with what we pay
Considering only features i think its telegram for now atleast
Signal is good for privacy focused people as it run by non profit
there are not many options…WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, which believe in using your data without any moral or legal issues…..Telegram is created and maintained in Russia, which being Russian only is out of consideration (like chinese apps)…so only option left is Signal….or maybe Snapchat (never used it).
On same note, can anyone point out a simple way to get my android phone disconnected from Google and China (it’s a OnePlus device).
I tried once…around 2 years back…but every other service wants me to install their app and needs to connect with google…I am thinking of trying again, hoping things have changed a lot in these 2 years.

You can send unlimited messages just like WhatsApp
I use telegram and its fantastic.. Not sure about signal which seems to be another whats app clone..
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.

Yes, LineageOS is good. But if you want total disconnection with google and want most open source software then I would insist to go with microG rom versions. Best one would be LineageOS for microG, download link-

Let me know if you need any help.

Opt for Linux based os. It is completely safe and mature at this point. It will be the next big thing as per mrwhosetheboss.

yes, that’s what Lineage OS is…most secure is Graphene (as per some people), but it works on Pixel phones only… I am still looking out for other options…there are many options nowadays…going to be fun.
I feel no difference. Open source is a myth, these orgs are run by the big fortune companies for their benefits . Data governance is always a bigger issue as it all depends on which part of the world data is stored which in itself is constrained by local and international govt policies. To be truly secure and open nature it has to be truly decentralized and distributed which none of these messaging platforms are

For privacy minded people signal is best solution.
For organization/group activity telegram is best.
Whatsapp is shit at both.

yes. When whatsapp was acquired by Facebook and they started changing privacy policy and using user data, one of whatsapp founder Brian Acton decided to create new app which can provide secure chat and privacy to users. He even provided initial funding of 50 millions in 2017.
I did some more digging…being a noob in the world of internet…and now I am frightened that privacy is really a myth till we keep on using any of these softwares/features/social platforms…there is no escaping… for instance Signal is very secure on it’s own, but needs our phone to work…and if use same phone number on Facebook or WhatsApp… Facebook will know that what we are trying to initiate on Signal and who other people are connecting with us…they don’t need to know our chat details…just knowing the connection they can bombard us with advertising and sell our contacts to 3rd parties…
I may be wrong in understanding, as I said, I am a noob

I think facebook app can scan your phone to get list of apps installed on your phone, So they will know if you have signal installed or not. Other than that, no data/messages from signal will be available to facebook.

This is from 2017, note that CIA cannot bypass encryption, They can bypass your phone security if you download some game/app apk from shady websites. The title here shows that encryption is useless, when that is not the case. If CIA somehow manage to get a keylogger onto your phone then they can just get the keystrokes. issue here is keylogger/malware getting into your phone by some other sources(like shady webistes you downoad apk from)
Viber about Signal
I personally liked signal
Bhai jab tak Google use kar rahe ho data regarding " din me kitni baar HAGAA" is also being collected.. all these apps ( fb/whatsapp etc etc) are not even asking for a tenth of that… So if you do not worry about using Google.. no need to worry about anything..
Does signal have broadcast list option??
