Like for the sibling commentator, the desktop client has been working for me largely flawlessly. Sure, doing backups on the desktop (and restoring them) would be nice, and no longer needing a phone number or needing to link it to a phone would be even nicer.
Meanwhile, though, WhatsApp doesn't even have a desktop client to begin with and their web UI is still mediocre and unsafe.
And let's not even speak about E2E encryption (or the general state of security) in Telegram.
So yes, I would argue most of Signal's features are more than on par with WhatsApp and Telegram.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoWhatsapp does have a desktop client, at least for Mac (also electron like Signal's) and you can use it on the web without even installing one. Much better than Signal which only has an electron client so you need to run a whole browser just for it. If it's browser based just let me run it in a tab.
