A big departure to the signal after the controversy over the new WhatsApp terms

Paris– The “Signal” messaging app topped the list of most downloaded apps in the “Apple Store” and “Google Play” stores. Its rival “WhatsApp” on Thursday announced its intention to share more data with the mother network “Facebook”.

As many users of WhatsApp on social networks have indicated their desire to switch to the signal like Tesla President Elon Musk, the SA app is number one on the list of most downloaded apps in India, Germany, France and Hong Kong, as I mentioned. Signal via Twitter.

To attract more new users, Signal has published a simple explanation of usage rules to help them easily transfer their conversations from one messaging app to another.

New demand for the app caused technical problems on Thursdays and Fridays. “Verification codes are currently delayed (…) because many people are now trying to join the signal,” Signal said.

Launched in 2014, Signal has been ranked by experts as one of the safest messaging applications in the world, especially thanks to its ability to fully encrypt messages, voice or video communication between two ends of the spectrum.

Thanks to the support of Edward Snowden, who leaked classified data about US intelligence services’ communication spying methods, the app quickly gained popularity among journalists and whistleblowers.

The “WhatsApp” service is facing criticism following a request from two billion users worldwide to accept new terms of use that allow the app’s owner to share more data with “Facebook”.

Users who refuse to accept the new terms will be barred from using their accounts from February 8.

The group seeks to make money by allowing advertisers to communicate with customers through WhatsApp or selling products directly through the platform, which is how Network India started operating.

The company points out that the data that can be shared between “WhatsApp” and the “Facebook” application system (including “Instagram” and “Messenger”) includes contacts and profile information, but does not affect the content of encrypted messages.
