- Two chat apps that offer end-to-end encryption and cross-platform support have been surging after Facebook announced the new WhatsApp privacy policy change, Signal, and Telegram.
- WhatsApp will start sharing user data with Facebook on February 8th, and there’s no way to opt out of the new data collection policy.
- Millions of people have downloaded Signal and Telegram on iPhone and Android in response to the news.
Facebook will soon start collecting user data from WhatsApp users, and this time around, there’s no way to opt out of the feature. The company informed all of its customers a few days ago about the upcoming privacy policy change. Facebook made it clear that the only way to continue using the app after February 8th is to agree to have their WhatsApp data shared with Facebook. WhatsApp is the most popular chat in the world and Facebook’s only end-to-end encrypted chat solution. What’s great about WhatsApp is that it works on iPhone and Android and comes with a desktop client. As a result, WhatsApp is the cross-platform app many people use to communicate. But WhatsApp isn’t the only app to support end-to-end encryption and cross-platform support, and people have started flocking to alternatives. Two such apps are Signal and Telegram, with downloads surging since Facebook confirm it would ruin WhatsApp after all.
