Why is Signal better to use than WhatsApp/Facebook Messenger?


Pros

  • Signal is open source
  • It doesn’t allow for screenshots
  • It allows for disappearing messages between users
  • It is end-to-end encrypted

Cons

  • Your contacts may not be willing to shift to signal.
  • You still have to give your number, therefore giving a part of your identity on the app
  • You can still be added to groups without your consent.
