@AshishDdavidd @signalapp Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted. They also store ALL of your messages on their server, forever. Go to the Telegram website and login. It's all there, unencrypted.

Reason #4 to use @signalapp: The only way they make money off of you is if you let them. In other words, if you choose to donate funds to further improve the service and app.

Don't wait till @WhatsApp services come up. Your communication shouldn't be dependent on single service. Use privacy friendly FOSS alternatives like @signalapp & @element_hq #WhatsAppDown #WhatsApp

It is kind of strange to see people come on @telegram when #WhatsApp is down. Folks, there are better apps, like @signalapp for instance!

@dj3000 @WhatsApp @signalapp I’ve not experienced any issues with spontaneous unlinking…but I didn’t know there was no backup on iOS! That’s terrible. What’s WhatsApp backup on iOS like? My experience on Android as someone who doesn’t want it in the cloud has been nightmarish…

@WhatsApp is down. Consider using @signalapp, instead. I do, and it's recommended by many security & privacy-focused folks.
