YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. - eviltoast

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”

This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    Mostly privacy. Signal is completely encrypted end-to-end. Telegram is only encrypted when choosing private chat with one person. Group chats are not encrypted in telegram, they are in signal.

      You can make encrypted group chats in telegram it’s only broadcast channels that are not encrypted which signal does not have in the first place.

      So basically the difference is, on signal it’s only encrypted while on telegram you can choose.
