About

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn’t rely on a central server - messages are synchronized directly between the users’ devices. If the internet’s down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the information flowing in a crisis. If the internet’s up, Briar can sync via the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from surveillance. Briar uses the Tor network to prevent eavesdroppers from learning which users are talking to each other. Each user’s contact list is encrypted and stored on her own device. All communication between devices is encrypted end-to-end, protecting the content from eavesdropping or tampering.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Encryption policy and offgrid compatibility are the things I like most. Although this one isn't that much popular I think it is better than signal or any other high ranked applications.

Cons

  • I didn't get any such things that should be considered as cons. But this application should be more user friendly and UI should be more attractive and easy. Calling support should be added.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Security. Telegram is far more secure than any other messaging app out there. Design. Minimalistic and straightforward, exactly what you want from a messaging app. Price. Most important features are free.
  • - It is a feature-packed messaging application for both pc and smartphones. - Telegram allows the user to create groups with up to 200,000 members. - Bots can be deployed by the group admin to automate tasks within groups. - It has a global search to search anything across the telegram platform. - It is a security-oriented messaging application that allows its users to stay anonymous in groups or from other users on the platform.
  • Due to the spam-free policy of Telegram, it is widely used for purposes such as trafficking and many more. It is not as popular as WhatsApp due to its marketing. Due to its feature of handling a lot of participants at once, It's widely used for its educational channels. Also, it has a huge cloud storage.
  • Well there are many pros of this application like: - You can meet people who will change your perspective about life, future business partner, your new friend, etc. - It provides a very secure chatting process. - You can hide your profile and you can create your own group or super group. - Telegram has more features than other messenger applications. - Telegram can work on several devices at the same time and you can transfer files from one device to another as well.
  • - No Ads and completely free. - End to end encrypted. - Ordinary and secret chats. - Simple and easy interface to use.

Cons

  • Not really popular yet. Many people still use WhatsApp only (mistake).
  • - It is a bit overwhelming to use initially because of the number of features available.
  • Telegram is an Indian app. It's similar to WhatsApp, but you can share large files very easily on telegram. You can make large groups and channels on telegram. It's advantageous to share class notes and other educational purposes. It can keep u updated with daily news as there's a lot of good news channels on it. You can download movies, videos and many more things on telegram.
  • There are a few cons of this application as well: - Telegram is not an easy platform, subscribers can leave your channel or group as quickly as they come because of the vast platform it provides to others as well. - Your Telegram can be flooded with messages most of the time. - Should focus on the appearance of this platform, this is a very bad thing about this application that it does not have an attractive interface which can be a very huge problem for its popularity among people.
  • - No multiple selections. - Can’t easily figure out the opposite person is online or offline. - Pirated contents can be easily shared.
