Signals selling point was secure messaging.
Now they seem to be diverging from that.
Telegrams selling point was a better WhatsApp, and IIRC this started back when WhatsApp was still unencrypted (yes, not point-to-point encrypted but unencrypted).
Since then they've always taken the lead over WhatsApp everywhere except on E2E-encryption.
That's the difference IMO.
- rOOb85 6y agoSignal is still a secure messaging app. Signal will always be a secure messaging app. They have ignored feature requests to maintain secure/private messaging. Secure communication is paramount to signal. There is 0 evidence signal is diverging from being a secure messaging app. Are they adding non-chat related features? Yes. Are they making their app any less of a secure chat platform? Absolutely not.
