    @AshishDdavidd @signalapp Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted. They also store ALL of your messages on their server, forever. Go to the Telegram website and login. It's all there, unencrypted.

  • MickLAuche Mick L'Auche 🇭🇺🇬🇧🇳🇮 No WWIII (@MickLAuche) reported

    I don't care if #WhatsApp is down or not. I only use @signalapp and @telegram.

    And this is why I have @signalapp for when the what's app dies down!

  • Harmelodic Matt Smith (@Harmelodic) reported

    @WhatsApp is down. Consider using @signalapp, instead. I do, and it's recommended by many security & privacy-focused folks.

    @vowe @signalapp Whatsapp isn’t down. It has been for a short time today.

  • DesShep Desmond Shepherd (@DesShep) reported

    Reason #4 to use @signalapp: The only way they make money off of you is if you let them. In other words, if you choose to donate funds to further improve the service and app.

  • kkomaitis Konstantinos Komaitis/Κωνσταντίνος Κωμαϊτης, PhD (@kkomaitis) reported

    Now that #WhatsApp is down, let’s all switch to @signalapp!

  • danielselman Dan Selman (@danielselman) reported

    No problems with @signalapp this morning. Ditch WhatsApp.

  • RocknRollCEO Mustafa Ozalcin (@RocknRollCEO) reported

    WhatsApp is down. So go to @signalapp or @telegram. Which you probably should be do anyway.

  • fraabye Frederik Raabye (@fraabye) reported

    Dear @signalapp please retain sms support. It will drive all the non-technical users, your fans help(ed) gain, away from the app. We won't continue the free marketing if the product sucks.

  • byZeroOfficial byZero (@byZeroOfficial) reported

    Signal is up WhatsApp is down Just use @signalapp

  • statto Andrew Steele (@statto) reported

    @dj3000 @WhatsApp @signalapp I’ve not experienced any issues with spontaneous unlinking…but I didn’t know there was no backup on iOS! That’s terrible. What’s WhatsApp backup on iOS like? My experience on Android as someone who doesn’t want it in the cloud has been nightmarish…

  • chrilves Christophe Calvès (@chrilves) reported

    Apparently WhatsApp is down, but @signalapp is not ;) #whatsappdown

  • toon_mikwee mikwee 🇮🇱🧦 ☭⃠ | 8 days until #IsraElex22 (@toon_mikwee) reported

  • FSFTamilnadu Free Software Foundation Tamil Nadu (FSFTN) (@FSFTamilnadu) reported

    Don't wait till @WhatsApp services come up. Your communication shouldn't be dependent on single service. Use privacy friendly FOSS alternatives like @signalapp & @element_hq #WhatsAppDown #WhatsApp

  • odeosahumen odemwingie osahumen (@odeosahumen) reported

    @KemiOlunloyo @WhatsApp @signalapp Whatsapp was not only in some part of Africa, both in United state, the system was down for some time

    @SnellArthur @signalapp And even if the standard Signal servers go down, you can setup your own proxy.
