Let us tell you that Facebook-owned company WhatsApp announced a new privacy policy shortly. It said that users’ data will be shared with Facebook. To agree on this, the company also sent in-app notifications to users. But this policy was not liked by the users and many users decided to leave the platform. When WhatsApp issued this policy, within 7 days of that, the company’s app downloads decreased by up to 35 percent.
Users switched to Signal and Telegram app, except WhatsApp. Where 24 million downloads of Signal have been downloaded 16 lakh times of Telegram. Not only this, Tesla CEO Elon Musk also appealed to people to join Signal. Signal launched the latest version of its app in December 2020. It also included a group call feature. The company had said that their app only stores the user’s phone number. The company does not store any personal information of the user.
