WhatsApp vs Telegram vs Signal: Which is the BEST?!

Показать описание

WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal; three of the most popular secure and private messaging platforms for your digital devices, allowing you to communicate with your friends and family in secret. How do they stack up against each other, and what makes one better than the other for your needs? Will they give you an anonymous experience?

Thanks for watching everyone! This video has a few mistakes that need clearing up:
A) Telegram is FOSS and utilizes FOSS encryption, though it’s still not quite as proven as Signal’s Encryption.
B) Telegram does have E2EE but it’s not a default and is restricted to secret chats.
C) The Privacy/Security “Colors” at the end are an over-simplification and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. They are just representations of some pros/cons of each provider.

Some attributes of each service I take a look at are encryption methods, features usage and usability, as well as privacy concerns like requiring a phone number or collection of data and/or metadata. I also give the pros and cons to each service and what person it's geared towards to simplify your decision.

Who’s here after WhatsApp new policy where they’ve announced basically they’ll use all of your data for anything?

Telegram isn't owned by Facebook. Major reason to use it right there

Who is coming here after ELON MUSK "Use Signal"

I'd rather rank Telegram higher than Whatsapp for the sole reason of the latter being owned by Facebook. Big minus.

1. Signal (security) 2. Telegram (features) 3. WhatsApp (users)

elliotalderson

1) they all require a phone number
2) telegram encrypts by default, just not *end to end* by default because then you couldnt get history on all your devices
3) telegrams privacy policy is good (try actually reading it)
4) WHY would you recommend WhatsApp over telegram for 1on1 in particular if telegram is the one with end to end, and is not using you metadata???
5) you clearly didn't even read the chart you yourself refer to at the end

Overall telegram just beats WhatsApp. If you want to be as private as possible: signal for sure.

Who is here after the new WhatsApp update?

You are so wrong about comparing Telegram and WhatsApp, which makes me wonder if you ever used Telegram.

It encrypts messages by default but it's not end to end. This is necessary for it's awesome sync between devices. You can pause your chat on your PC and immediately continue on your phone with all your chat history syncing between all your devices. With end to end encryption this is simply not possible.

With Telegram you can have groups with up to 10000 members. Take that WhatsApp!

Third, on Telegram you can chat without revealing your phone number to anyone which is not case for WhatsApp

1. Signal is developed by a Non-profit Organisation but Telegram is a Company Controlled product...
2. Moreover Signal doesn't store anything in Cloud but Telegram stores everything in the Cloud...
3. Signal Encryption happens in the device itself they don't have the encryption keys only the user have the keys but In case of Telegram they have the encryption keys stored in the cloud

I've been using Telegram for nearly 10 years. It's amazing . I don't know much about Signal, never used it

Signal is great for people who don't care about crap like stickers and simply want a secure way to communicate. In other words, most adults. I love it. I only wish more people used it. It's always important to remember that Signal sends encrypted messages as well as traditional messages. Unless the other person is also using Signal the messages will be unencrypted, unsecured SMS or MMS.
