Signal is more like snapchat with people you know. With its stories.
WhatsApp. It's a direct WhatsApp clone.
Not really.
I'm a big signal proponent, but it's very barebones. There is a half ass story implementation, but otherwise, it's a pretty lean messaging application with voice and video and that's pretty much it.
Signal doesn't really have a mechanism for following accounts the way you can on telegram and WhatsApp, and while it supports group chats, it's more akin to an old school group text rather than a channel like on telegram or Whatsapp.
Can someone tell me why we care about stories on a messaging app? Don't we have Instagram and its clones for that?
I guess I didn't know WhatsApp caught up that much to Telegram, the WhatsApp I knew used to support group chats and voice calls but nothing like channels, supergroups and following users, yet.
Itโs still like that. Those additional things are instagram.
I got a very different impression from @Takumidesh@lemmy.world their comment...
I am forced to use WhatsApp for work and a few groups. Until last half of 2023 they literally had nothing.
They had no polls, no channels, communities, not even reactions... more barebones than signal to be honest. I was surprised when I switched mostly to signal. Now they have passed signal in terms of "features" again, but indeed no stories like signal.
I don't know a single person who follows something on whatsapp. That is just not what it does well at all.
More like WhatsApp is a Signal clone. Whatsapp uses the signal protocol for its encryption. Or at least it did until the Zuck took it closed source. It's still at least, in part, signal though.
Course Signal is still very barebones. Great for a secure messenger, but not as super featured like telegram. Would've been nice if they kept SMS compatibility though.
When was WhatsApp open source? I can't find anything on that.
Also WhatsApp is 6 years older than Signal, they couldn't have cloned Signal by definition.
Signal protocol is what you're looking for. Started as text secure then changed name eventually. Whatsapp was never opensourced they just used the Text secure (now signal) protocol for their encrypted messages. They still allegedly use the signal protocol, I think, but with it being fully closed source and not implementing current signal feature for years afterwards.
In other words I have a high degree of faith our nuclear secrets will only be leaked to me when our DUI hires add me to the group, again using signal. But guarantee they're also leaked to the Zuck using whatsapp.
I know what you mean, WhatsApp is still several years older than that. They added it later. WhatsApp wasn't developed as a Signal clone, it can't have been, but Signal seems to try to be a drop-in replacement for WhatsApp (phone number-based (yikes), focused on messaging the SMS way but with files and over the Internet, simple profile with a status message on them, E2EE...)
@lord_ryvan @Evotech It may not be the most private (unless you use private chat), but Telegram is the best alternative to WhatsApp, both in terms of user count and usability. It's the easiest transition.
