Apple WWDC 2023

Apple WWDC 2023: Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference regularly sets the tone for the company’s future, and that may be truer than ever for 2023. Many expect the company to introduce its first mixed reality headset at the event, with a new platform to match. However, the wearable is far from the only major announcement believed to be coming at WWDC this year. Rumors have included a larger MacBook Air, a major watchOS update and even app sideloading on iOS. Here’s what you’re likely to see on June 5th. Mixed reality headset Apple’s first foray into mixed reality hardware (that is, a blend of real and virtual worlds) is one of the company’s worst-kept secrets. The tech giant has been acquiring headset-friendly startups for years, and Tim Cook hasn’t been shy about his interests in augmented and virtual reality. Now, though, a headset appears to be ready for a WWDC debut — Apple’s event logo even hints at a lens. If the rumors are accurate, Apple’s stand-al...

WhatsApp Vs Signal Vs Telegram

 WhatsApp has been facing a lot of heat since it rolled out the latest Privacy Policy updates. The Facebook-owned company has been backlashed by several users over privacy concerns, and people are looking for Whatsapp alternatives. Are Signal and Telegram good enough to replace WhatsApp? We find out. Here’s an in-depth comparison between the three most popular messaging apps.

WhatsApp updated its Privacy policy which allows other Facebook-owned companies to access WhatsApp user data. 

While Facebook has always been doubted with misusing user data, the new Whatsapp privacy policies throw at ton of questions over its security and data privacy. While WhatsApp alternative apps are being favoured for better security, are they worthy enough to be your daily social messaging app?

Both Telegram and the all-new Signal (endorsed by world’s richest man, Elon Musk) are being considered the best Whatsapp alternatives given the security features offered. Should you switch?

WhatsApp vs Signal vs Telegram: Things No One Told You

WhatsApp is currently the largest messaging service in the world with over 2 billion monthly active users. Telegram has around 400 million users, while Signal has around 20 million monthly active users.

While WhatsApp stands undefeated given the number of users, we can’t shy away from the growing popularity of Telegram and Signal.

The WhatsApp privacy policy update is helping the other two gain more users over the app’s security and privacy.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp has everything you would need on a social messaging service including the new in-app payments feature. Group chats work with up to 256 members. You can broadcast messages to multiple contacts, support voice and video calls, both for individuals and groups.

  • Group video calls (8 users at any time)
  • WhatsApp Status feature (also called WhatsApp stories)
  • Whatsapp allows you to share all sorts of files and documents (upto 100MB)
  • Photos, videos and audio files can be shared upto 16 MB
  • You can share live location with your contacts 
  • Backup and restore messages and data via cloud services like Google Drive and iCloud
  • WhatsApp uses end to end encryption (E2E) for communication: messages, video calls, voice calls, photos and anything
  • WhatsApp uses E2E protocol developed by Open Whisper Systems, same as Signal 

Telegram

Telegram offers support to groups with up to 200,000 members. Known for its large and massive groups, Telegram offers multiple group-specific features such as bots, polls, quizzes and hashtags, extensive for large group experiences.

  • Self-destructing messages, where the message will get deleted after a point of time
  • The size limit for sharing files on Telegram is 1.5 GB
  • Supports voice and video call on Android and iOS devices
  • Telegram supports E2E only secret chats feature
  • The company confirmed it shares 0 bytes of data with third-parties or any governments till date

Signal

Coming to the latest member, Signal offers secure messaging, voice, and video calls with end-to-end encryption. You can create groups, but can’t broadcast messages to multiple contacts at once. Signal also has added support for group calling.

  • Supports self-destructing messages
  • Note to Self to share your own thoughts and ideas without creating single member groups
  • Signal allows relay voice calls to its servers, identity is not shared, same as using a VPN
  • Signal uses back-end user-facing encryption service
  • It uses the open-source Signal Protocol to implement end-to-end encryption
  • Signal also encrypts your metadata offering multiple levels of security

WhatsApp vs Signal vs Telegram: Privacy Permissions, Which One More Secure?

WhatsApp does not encrypt backups (cloud or local). Whatsapp also does not encrypt metadata unlike Signal, which is used to carry communication between two endpoints. WhatsApp group chats have been earlier found to be indexed on Google search, major data breach point.

Telegram group chats are not encrypted unless you use Secret Chats, which again only supports single-user communication. 

In terms of user privacy, Signal offers the most secured form of communication you can get on the internet. But again, Signal lacks a host of features if compared to Whatsapp and Telegram. Signal by default encrypts all the local files with a 4-digit passphrase. It also supports encrypted group calls.

Here’s list of data each of the messaging apps collects from their users:

WhatsApp Data Collection

  • Device ID
  • User ID
  • Advertising Data
  • Purchase History
  • Coarse Location
  • Phone Number
  • Email Address
  • Contacts
  • Product Interaction
  • Crash Data
  • Performance Data
  • Other Diagnostic Data
  • Payment Info
  • Customer Support
  • Product Interaction
  • Other User Content

Telegram Data Collection

  • Contact Info
  • Contacts
  • User ID

Signal Data Collection

  • None
  • It only stores your phone number
