Security analysts have long been recommending users to use Telegram or Signal for having private conversations, rather than WhatsApp. Though WhatsApp is having larger userbase and end-to-end encrypted chats, it’s still criticized for not being open-source, asking for the phone number, and being hackable often.

Why Anonymous Recommends Signal and Telegram Over WhatsApp?

How Signal is Secure?

Hailed as one of the best private messengers and even endorsed by Edward Snowden. Signal encrypts your chats, voice call, media and allows you to archive chats. It allows you to chat from its dedicated app or through a web browser as a plug-in. You can set timers to self-destruct your messages and since it’s open-source, anyone can check its code for bugs and contribute for its security integrity.
