WhatsApp also gave its users until February 8, 2021, to "Agree" to their new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service to continue using their Platform, Which made many users quit WhatsApp and find other alternatives.
Without wasting any more of your precious time, Here are the best alternatives to WhatsApp messenger.
- SIGNAL (Recommended)
The signal is the best alternative when it comes to security and basic features, It offers secure chatting, Audio calls, video calls, and groups with end-to-end encryption and it has self-destructing messages (like Snapchat) and a "Note-to-self" feature. It uses Signal Protocol (formerly known as the TextSecure Protocol) and as a cherry on top it encrypts your metadata too, So you don't have to worry about your privacy. In terms of security, Signal stands in 1st place among WhatsApp and Telegram. This app is better for you if you care more about Security instead of features and etc.
Simple and Straightforward, isn't it?
- Telegram
Telegram offers so many incredible features. Such as the basics like Audio calls, Video calls, chats, Group chats, and Channels that also support a higher member limit than WhatsApp and features Bots, Polls, Hashtags which make group chats more fun.
