Messenger Signal - what is it, features
Only the exclamations calmed down leaking information to the Facebook service from the WhatsApp messenger, as the next news appeared. Mark Zuckerberg himself prefers to use the confidential Signal application, ignoring his own messenger WhatsApp. This is tantamount to the fact that the owner of the Mercedes-Benz company will constantly drive BMW cars.
Messenger Signal - what is it, features
Signal is a communication tool in the form of an application for mobile technology. Messenger. With work in real time. The program works on the analogue of the legendary Telegram. Knows how to forward text messages, videos, pictures, share location, make voice and video calls.
The Signal messenger was created in 2013 by a private company. The application is open source and has a very powerful encryption system. Rumor has it that even the FBI does not have access to users' correspondence. Accordingly, the messenger has gained recognition among politicians, businessmen, activists and journalists.
The peculiarity of the application is that it does not display ads and does not collect information about users. In the 21st century, this is a serious argument, since our previously beloved Skype and Viber have become a real advertising trash heap.
Which is better - Signal or Telegram
Definitely, the Signal messenger is better than Telegram. The functions of E2E protection and confidentiality of information declared by Pavel Durov are unconfirmed information in practice. Telegram is an ordinary communicator with huge holes, but with very convenient functionality.
We all love the Telegram application for the ability to configure and use bots (network robots). Scripts are capable of performing very complex organizational tasks. In addition, the program can transfer huge files between interlocutors and create conferences for an audience of thousands.
The Signal program focuses more on the confidentiality of the conversation. There are good makings for a group of people to communicate in a conference of 1000 people. Plus, the system of work without being tied to the server is well implemented.
