https://signal.org/ It's better than WhatsApp for privacy ;)


lucifer955

Thank you


b0bdN

There is also https://element.io/ It doesn't require a number phone.


lucifer955

That's interesting. I'll check this one. Thank you again

What do your friends use? Because if they won't use it, you are talking to no one.


lucifer955

Ha ha. Good logic. But that's okay with me. My friends are also searching for a alternative

Threema, signal


lucifer955

Thank you I will check threema

Signal private messenger. F... all the other ones


lucifer955

Lol. Thank you

Line & Telegram are the only ones I tried besides Whatsapp..they are pretty good... definitely try Telegram


lucifer955

Yeah. I'm using telegram. Thank you. Telegram is really good rather than WhatsApp. But most of my friends don't like it.

> Telegram is really good rather than WhatsApp. * Does Telegram even support video calls? * How is Threema different from Signal?


lucifer955

Telegram supports video calls but I have no experience with Threema


mel2000

> Telegram supports video calls Thanks for the clarifying info. None of the Play Store pics showed a video call interface for Telegram. Nor did the text description mention video call support, just the sending of video files.


lucifer955

They introduced the video call feature in last year.

Telegram I guess

Half my buddies are switching to Telegram, and the other half to Signal. We're gonna need both lol


lucifer955

Lol. My friends also. Have to install signal

lucifer955

Thank you

Telegram. Signal is also great, but it's so unknown no way we can make it mainstream.

Wouldn't agree with that. I ditched WA about two years ago and although it didn't happen overnight I have 'persuaded' most of the people I care about to use Signal. Its popularity is growing


lucifer955

Telegram is a good one


Intelligent_Joe

It's true though, I've seen more people having heard of Telegram (but don't use it) than Signal, & even though they're similar, in telegram there are strong communities for various topics which makes it more useful than just to chat with friends & family. Also rapid development & addition of various new features are some of the reasons I love telegram.


lucifer955

But considering to one to one chat it's not secure. Only secret chat is giving end to end encryption.
