    Default Telegram & Signal

    As WhatsApp just announced last week that they are sharing data with Facebook, a global outrage followed, prompting a lot of users to flock to other messaging apps such as Telegram & Signal last week. Telegram just broke 500 million users, Signal has experienced almost 9 million downloads in the space of a week.

    What are Orgahs thoughts on this? Telegram? Signal? Both?

    Or staying in WhatsApp?

    Unlike its competitor Signal, Telegram doesn't by default apply end-to-end encryption to messages, which prevents any message intercepted by a third party from being interpretable.

    However, you can opt to have end-to-end encryption by using Telegram's "secret chat" option.

    Despite the fact that end-to-end encryption isn't standard, Telegram says its two-chat system is the most secure solution for their widely-used app. It toggles between Cloud and Secret chats to protect all kinds of users, relying on a standard encrypted cloud storage system based on server-client encryption — called MTProto encryption.
