Red Signal stops the green button.
Yes friends, WhatsApp has put its notification on hold, in which you had to surrender your privacy by clicking the green button till 8 February or end the relationship with WhatsApp.
WhatsApp also understood that now we Indians are also not going to compromise on privacy issues.
WhatsApp put a lot of emphasis. It felt that the threat of account closure would work because if the addiction is so high then where will people go.
But people also found the alternates and told them, “If not you then someone else, if not, then some other will do “.
Then a lot of clarifications started coming.
Media Buying has started. Full Page Ads in every National News Paper. Money is shed like water.
You must have also seen many big Youtubers were also engaged in singing the song. Different types of sophistication.
What privacy is on the Internet?
What difference will it make?
WhatsApp already has our data.
Other Apps also take data.
Big efforts are made to confuse their millions of subscribers.
Brother, “Money speaks”.
But seeing the download of Telegram and Signal App, WhatsApp had to put its decision on hold.
After all, what WhatsApp and its Paid Media want to explain us. Of course they will say the truth, but in a very puzzled way and will turn it around so that you will not feel that anything has happened, and their work will be done.
Today, we try to understand this trajectory and know what is different between Telegram and Signal App.
Know it well and take your decision yourself.
In WhatsApp, all personal and group chats are encrypted end-to-end, i.e. only the sender and the recipient of the messages can read / listen.
But now according to the new privacy policy, WhatsApp will also access all your information that you would share on a business WhatsApp account and also share it with Facebook, Instagram.
So brother, risk will start from the same place. There will also be OTPs, all transactions will be done, all business enquiries and deals will also be done. They need the same. What will they get in other personal chats, what you made Good morning Good night, what I ate, and story discourse? These will all remain secret.
WhatsApp, Signal App and Telegram
Let’s compare WhatsApp, Signal App and Telegram.
Understanding from the aspect of features, some features are good in WhatsApp, while some are better in Telegram. The features of Signal App are almost the same as WhatsApp.
——–
In WhatsApp, all personal and group chats are encrypted end-to-end, i.e. only the sender and the recipient of the messages can read / listen.
All chats of Signal App are also encrypted end-to-end.
In Telegram, chats are not encrypted in normal course, but if you enable secret chat, then it is encrypted.
———
The maximum size of a file to be shared in WhatsApp is 100mb, in Signal App also, it is 100mb whereas in Telegram you can share a file up to 2GB. That is, you do not have to compromise on picture/video quality.
———
WhatsApp has status feature, Signal App also have the same, while unfortunately is not available in Telegram.
———
In WhatsApp Group we can add maximum 256 members, in Signal App this limit is 1000 members, while in Telegram this limit is 2 lakhs.
———
In Telegram App, you can also create your own channel where other users can follow you and there is no limit to its numbers. In WhatsApp and Signal App, you can create a broadcast list but there can be limited people in a list. And they too will be added only if they have saved your number in their contacts.

Major differences I have shared with you. And if you need information on any other aspect, then definitely ask in the comment section.
Friends, our main concern is privacy. With regard to misconceptions that are running in the market, let us also understand them.
How safe is our privacy on the Internet?
Our privacy on the Internet is as safe as our life is safe while walking on the road or working with fire.
You must have understood that just as walking on the road or working with fire cannot be left out, similarly in today’s world, without the Internet, things will not work.
The more vigilance and intelligence we keep, the more will be our security.
So now, if someone tells me that, anyway, we share a lot of our information while using the Internet, then there is no danger in giving permission to WhatsApp.
Friends, according to me, this is a misconception because it was such a thing that, if following the traffic rules does not guarantee that there will not be an accident, therefore everyone should stop following the traffic rules.
What do you guys think about this? Please write in the comment section.
WhatsApp already has our data.
It is being tried to explain us that a lot of our data is already with WhatsApp, so what will be the difference now.
Whatever data we have shared with WhatsApp will only be used to give us improved services and in no way will they attempt any commercial use or sharing of our data, was being promised to us.
Now WhatsApp also wants to take all the information which has nothing to do with the services given to us.
Like, what it is going to do with our hardware information, it has not been told anywhere. What is our device, how much is the battery, what is our network, what is the IP address, what a messaging app has to do with all these things?
WhatsApp not only wants to take our business transactions, our location but also share it with Facebook and its other companies. Don’t just think it is that simple, Facebook will show us Ad and what else?
The main game behind showing ads is a strategy to color your lifestyle completely. You will not know when ads will convert from informative.to compulsive Then every decision of yours will be based on their thinking and you will feel that you are taking a decision. We are being dragged into a kind of mental slavery.
Then came the speculation that Google is already doing all this with us. So brother, if someone is doing such things with us, we should find ways to rescue from it with our alertness and not deliberately prepare another pit for ourselves.
Other Apps also takes our data.
It is true that the apps we use for payment, they have a lot of our information. That is why we should use only those apps that are approved for UPI payment. There are many regulatory checks on them. Despite this, we should know their privacy policy.
Our data is with them but they are not free to use it commercially. Maybe some apps misuse it, so we should report it as soon as we come know about it.
Here, WhatsApp is forcibly seeking permission from us that it will legally share the information of our WhatsApp transactions with other companies. If we do not accept this, then there is an option to delete WhatsApp.
It is something like that attendant in Valet Parking should take a consent letter from you that he can peep into your car and until you come back can use the vehicle and can also share with others.
Leaving the keys of the vehicle with the attendant can be part of the system, but using the vehicle will be an illegal act. Now you tell me that if you are being told that, “no – no, you have to sign the consent letter or else you will not be able to use the parking services”. So what will you do?
Brother, I would not like to use such parking services. You must share your opinion with us in the comment section.
Friends, when WhatsApp came, its policies were quite privacy related, but since 2014 when Facebook bought it for 19 billion dollars, its agenda has been of revenue generation. Some changes are done from time to time. The founders of WhatsApp were also angry with this policy of Facebook, so one by one everyone quit. The tagline of WhatsApp, “Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA,” has now disappeared.
One of the founders of WhatsApp started the Signal App and today across the world.it is considered as a very good name in messaging apps, for privacy
There is an end-to-end encryption of chats in the Signal App, there is also no third party Apps integration. Integration like Youtube, Google can cause data leakage.
Some of the technical features can affect by this, but privacy is strong.
So now you have to decide what your priority is.
WhatsApp features are good, we are all using it, the community is very large, about 40 crore Indians are on it, but now it is not very reliable regarding privacy.
Telegram’s features are better than WhatsApp, it is being liked very much for sharing large data files, videos, and the community is also growing rapidly. There is a concern in terms of privacy that messages are not end-to -end encrypted by default, you have to opt for secret message. Apart from that, there is no third party integration, you can consider privacy strong.
The features of Signal App are better than WhatsApp, in terms of privacy protection it is going to be number one, the community is still low but the speed with which it is growing can be trusted.
Now Choice is yours. You decide for yourself with your understanding.
Thank you.
