Getting Started with Signal
Here is how I rate them now:<p>1. Worst Offender : Facebook Messenger --> spyware for tracking all your activities even in background<p>2. WhatsApp : Lost trust in it since Facebook bought it, more so with the new terms and conditions. Data is not safe anymore.<p>3. Telegram : Trust it's privacy but it's proposed business model is also advertisement based so avoiding it.<p>4. Signal : Best option, there are some sacrifices to be made with lack of contacts and some features but slowly and surely we can turn the tide. Also it's open source funded by a Non-Profit so that gets it bonus points.<p>Reference: <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/04/app-privacy-labels-messaging-apps/" rel="nofollow">https://9to5mac.com/2021/01/04/app-privacy-labels-messaging-...</a>
