Which Messenger will I continue using in the near future.

[socrates]

With all this Hullabaloo about WhatsApp privacy & messengers in general, I am curious to know what messenger app we will continue using after Feb 2021.

Telegram, in the near future and might use Signal if they improve the UI.

Telegram most of the time, WhatsApp as a legacy app hopefully for only a little while more, though I am not v sanguine about it.

Telegram

But not the app, I will start sending actual telegrams

Modi Ji killed telegram service in India few years ago.

First of all, I need people to send messages to.

^^^ This is the most important point. Baki sab badme.

I have both telegram and signal. My only gripe with signal is if you happen to transfer your backup to another phone, it won't accept it. I really need to confirm this.

 

[Sushubh]

if you are going to test, test with the same mobile number. it is unlikely backup would work for another number. i could be wrong though.

Backup and Restore Messages

Signal messages, pictures, files, and other contents are stored locally on your device. If you have your old device, select the platform to transfer messages: Android iOS Desktop Message restor...

support.signal.org

does not seem to say so though. so i guess numbers are not important.
