Well, Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and now Whatsapp. I really can’t stand using an app that has ads. I really really could use them if they weren’t so intrusive or annoying, Whatsapp it’s the only META app that I’m still using due my close relations do use it.
Which App do you use to chat with your closest people? You simple don’t? Or you use another medium to get in touch? I always can make a call to my relatives, but there are people, like my gf, which I need to communicate in more than one way, send audios, photos, videos, etc. Every reply it’s appreciate it.
I’ve wrangled over this very question for years. I’ve looked at all the research, I’ve read all of the articles and I’ve witnessed all of the armchair security ‘experts’ make their claims one way or the other. I got so exhausted bouncing back and forth between a dozen screamed opinions, I walked away. In the end, I decided to go with Signal and it has served my needs for a secure and private instant messenger with no ads or shady crypto-scams without fail.
