And this is the statement. And so there has been lot of miscommunication between people, like whether we can use WhatsApp or whether we need to switch to other options like Signal or Telegram like that. So what's up said officially like the services will not be stopped on February 8 and it will be postponed to May or the next upcoming month. So it's a good news to hear that WhatsApp will not stop our services on February 8, as many users are switching to Signal, a server outage

Doark. I'm glad you posted this, because this is just I don't fully understand everything that's going on here, but WhatsApp announcing that they will start sharing data with Facebook? I think that was kind of alarming. I didn't really see the reason why for that. But I think a lot of people were very hesitant about that. And then, of course, you saw the surge going over to signal on Signal's point

I have seen the status from WhatsApp in my chat like it's end to end protector and the data will not be shared to Facebook and all the chats are protected and they are saying it's safe, but I'm not sure they are planning to provide a Privacy policy update by coming may I'm not sure what they will come up with. I'm sure it will be a little bit scary for us for now. Let's hope for good

So I'm guessing the management we're seeing how quickly people are picking up signal is what I use quite a lot, because it's much more encrypted than either Telegram or Facebook or WhatsApp. But WhatsApp is effectively just becoming what Facebook Messenger is? Everyone seems to be panicking that Facebook is going to use the data, but we all use Facebook Messenger all the time anyway

As I said, I'm not sure I just hear from you like Chinese or funding the Telegram and I'm not sure what about WhatsApp but I think Signal is pretty much better and also Spell is a better platform for us to talk with whole hearted and we can share our thoughts in this type of scenarios. I think it's pretty much what I need to share
