That's not the case for the upcoming update - if you don't want to share your personal data with Facebook and the other companies that they own, you'll have no choice but to quit WhatsApp entirely. "We are already facing this in other applications such as Google, which is why I don't mind sharing the data", said Swetanjali Mehrotra, a Ballygunge based entrepreneur. Signal, however, has a neat little solution for WhatsApp migrants. Facebook also confirmed that it would start monetising WhatsApp in the future. Both apps look nearly the same and also offer similar options.

In a relief for the users, Signal has provided a way to import the groups from WhatsApp and other messaging services.

When we are talking about privacy then "Signal" app is the best for it in comparison to WhatsApp.

It states "End-to-end encryption means that your messages are encrypted to protect against us and third parties from reading them". Signal is now the most download free app in various countries like India, Germany, France, Austria, Finland, Switzerland and Hong Kong.

Telegram took a pointed dig at WhatsApp using a popular meme. The contact list on Signal is much narrower, and it hardly has 15 contacts. The new update would end all that with up to four devices all having unique access to chats simultaneously. Since then, a lot of people have taken to Twitter to express their concerns about WhatsApp and have chose to migrate to the Signal. "I am especially anxious about the business account, where my data can be used by third parties", said Guha Thakurta.

"As per my understanding, through this new data policy WhatsApp is creating a unique profile of its customers".

More than 100,000 users installed Signal while Telegram picked up almost 2.2 million downloads, according to data analytics firm Sensor Tower. It may provide you with marketing for its services and those of the Facebook Companies.
