Signal is a secure messenger that is widely touted as one of the best options. This Signal review shows you the pros and cons.
"When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on."
This isn't an ad, I wasn't paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. ๐ ๐
There's the rub. Unless privacy is your highest priority there isn't any advantage. I wish I could convince my main contacts to move but convenience is a higher priority for them.
Mostly privacy. Signal is completely encrypted end-to-end. Telegram is only encrypted when choosing private chat with one person. Group chats are not encrypted in telegram, they are in signal.
