Good memories will last even if the words vanish. Signal is made for you. As an Open Source project supported by grants and donations, Signal can put users first. There are no ads, no affiliate marketers, no creepy tracking. Just open technology for a fast, simple, and secure messaging experience. The way it should be.

  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I find WhatsApp to be a great and exciting platform to communicate with other users with an ease. Besides instant messaging, WhatsApp also allows me to create group, join communities, share multimedia files, share statuses, make and take both voice and video calls.
  • - It only takes your phone number and that's it. It doesn't ask any other details of the user to use this app. - It is very user-friendly and easy to use app with no ads and completely free to use. - User can delete the scent message which is a good feature that WhatsApp offers to the users. - it has brilliant audio and video calling features, which uses fewer data than its competitors.
  • I am very interested in this project so far . it has been very useful for communication and also granting high quality videos.
  • - WhatsApp is the most widely use application that gives you a platform to connect with your contacts. - All the chats on this platform are 128 bit end-to-end encrypted that gives the utmost security to its user privacy. - All the chats can be easily backed up on local storage as well as on google drive. It gives the user the flexibility to restore chats on a new device.
  • - Simple and user friendly application - Voice call and video call available - Instantly able to send a message to all over the world - Live-location sharing feature

Cons

  • WhatsApp is a good platform for all my instant communication needs and I have not came across any issues while using it.
  • - The data is stored in the servers, which is a security concern and is not full proof. - you cannot send a video file bigger than 61mb and a document having size bigger than 100 MB, which is one of the biggest cons of WhatsApp. - WhatsApp group accommodates fewer number of people whereas its competitors like telegram accommodates 1000x more people.
  • Sometimes during conversation or video calls the connection get interrupted but I think the is from the internet provider not the application.
  • The chats on WhatsApp are end to end encrypted, however, the backup datastore on google drive is not, So, the WhatsApp user data can be easily hacked if the google account gets hacked.
  • - Privacy policy issues - Media files up to 16mb only can be transferred - Need to share personal number in order to communicate
