WhatsApp?Kill it and install a decent messenger!

WhatsApp has been changing the privacy policy since May 15.If you don't accept it, you'll gradually lose access to the messenger function.It's time to say goodbye to him for good.What in exchange?I checked messengers offering similar functions - Signal, Telegram, Viber and several less known.Here is a list of the best WhatsApp replacements that you can install on Android for free.

WhatsApp explained what the changes will look like.From May 15, he will send notifications to people who have not yet accepted the new privacy policy.Then he will block the possibility of entering the contact list - it will be covered by information about the new politics.In the end, it will turn off the possibility of receiving calls and respond to messages, but the accounts will not yet delete for at least 3 months.Don't wait for it to happen.Start persuading your friends to change to one of the proposed messengers.

Signal

Price: PLN 0.Download from Google Play

Signal is the most obvious choice.This messenger became famous thanks to Edward Snowden and so far enjoys the very safe opinion.It is developed by a non-profit organization that does not try to earn on users and does not collect data about our conversations.The user identifier here is the phone number, as in the WhatsApp messenger.Signal can also be used as an application for SMS support.

The messenger supports voice calls with a camera and group chats.Interestingly, there is no option to go to a "secret chat" - all conversations are encrypted and secret by definition.A message disappearing after some time from reading can be sent in any conversation using the menu.You can also send a voice note.

In addition, the SIGNAL application can be additionally secured: turn off the screenshots of the keyboard, learning the keyboard or turn on the converting so that the other side does not learn the real IP address of the interlocutor.The application is surprisingly easy to use.

Telegram

Price: PLN 0.Download from Google Play

Telegram is Signala's most dangerous competitor.The messenger has no ads, he is and will always be free.The telegram can boast not only a high level of safety, but also speed and reliability.If it is to be used for daily communication, it wins with Signal in one more way - it synchronizes the history of conversations between devices, so you will have access to all your conversations and files received.Unless you remove them.The deleted conversation really disappears.

There are also voice and video calls, and a group chat can have as many as 200,000 members.In combination with the availability of lots of bots, this telegram is an ideal tool for groups, and even to send fresh information.

All conversations are encrypted and the telegram holders cannot decrypt them.You can also turn on a secret chat between two devices.It is impossible to make screenshots in it, it is impossible to pass the message from it and of course it is possible to send messages that will be self -destroyed after a certain time.Additionally, you can block the application with the code and turn on the two -component login.

See: Facebook wants your data.You will lose your whatsapp, if you disagree: after the new year WhatsApp will stop working on millions of telephony: Telegram instead of WhatsApp - already 500 million users! See: WhatsApp in the reverse, Signal uses Signal

Wire

Price: PLN 0 do użytku NOkomercyjnego.Download from Google Play

Wire is a messenger supporting text and video conversations, whose security was confirmed by independent audits.His source code is public and everyone can check how the messenger and the Proteus protocol for communication works (this is a newer version of Axolotl, used by Signal).The messenger also does nothing that can be called spying, is fully compatible with the GDPR, and its authors regularly publish transparency reports.And they are based in Switzerland, not in the USA.

This messenger does not require giving a phone number.An e-mail is enough for registration and a unique identifier can be given to your friends.People on the contact list can be divided in folders, which is a nice change.If you have doubts whether you are talking to the right person, you can compare Fingerprint your devices with another channel.

Wire also has the ability to talk in voice, with a webcam and advanced group lead options.If you run your own business, also get interested in the Wire offer for compaNOs.Wire will successfully replace not only WhatsAppa, but also Microsoft Teams and Zoom.Softbank uses, among others.

An interesting fact is the possibility of drawing in the messenger by hand and sending these drawings - this may be useful when words are not enough, and you do not necessarily want to Yese a photo of the card.

Viber

Price: PLN 0, rozmowy na numery telefoniczne są dodatkowo płatne.Download from Google Play

Viber is associated primarily with voice conversations, but it is also great as a text messenger every day.Of course, it offers encryption of all conversations, voice, video and group chat.You can also call the phone numbers if you decide to pay a subscription for the Viber Out service.In addition, we will find here GIF support, including the possibility of making your own, a huge selection of stickers and the ability to record voice and video for friends.

An interesting fact that not every Vibera user reaches is notes.Yes - the creators of the messenger know that in order not to forget about something, we send each other messages.That is why there is also a simple list of tasks in Viber, where you can also save a voice note and film.It is also worth mentioning the possibility of conducting a conversation in which messages disappear automatically and about the possibility of blocking selected chats with a PIN code.

Viber collects the "necessary minimum" of information about our activity in the messenger and many categories can be turned off manually in the settings.

Element (dawNOj Riot.THEM)

Price: PLN 0 dla pojedynczych osób i małych grup, dla firm jest specjalna oferta.Download from Google Play

The element is a messenger for paranoid in the good sense of the word.You don't even need to provide your e-mail address when registering.You have to count then that if the password is lost, you will not recover access to your account.However, I think that users who reach for the element have their proven ways to do so.Its high quality can be demonstrated by the fact that it is used by Mozilla employees, the French government or the Raspberry Pi fan community.When searching the channels, you can find a lot of interesting communities, also communicating in Polish.

The application can be protected biometric and blocking the screenshots.Only sending messages that will be self -examined.You can delete a message from history, but you can also enable information that the statement has been deleted.Of course, there are also voice and video calls.

The element has a lot of interesting additional security.For example, it is impossible to decipher conversations on a new device without access to the already approved device and transfer the keys with the QR code.

Dust

Price: PLN 0.Download from Google Play

The DUST messenger is focused on privacy and identity protection.The application is fabulously easy to use, but it almost guarantees that no information will fall into the wrong hands.You can think about her like Snapchat for serious applications.Of course, it is possible to send disappearing messages, delete already sent messages once and for all with all participants of the conversation and automatic removal of the whole story.On Android, the application blocks the possibility of Yesing screenshots of conversations and informs the other side of the conversation about the sample.

Dust is not only a messenger.You can also use it to send friends with something like status changes.You can observe other users and receive information from them and run a private microblog ... safely and only for friends using the same application.

There are no voice conversations or video.There is also no separate application security, so you can access it immediately after unlocking the phone.

Bonus: discord

Price: PLN 0.Download from Google Play

Slack settled in companies and Discord conquered the hearts of the players. To świetny komunikator dla mNOjszych i większych społeczności, bez względu na to, czy jesteście paczką znajomych, czy liczącym 1200 osób przymierzem w grze MMO. Discord działa na zasadzie serwerów, na których można zakładać mNOjsze pokoje, a Yesże nadawać i precyzyjNO kontrolować role zaproszonych użytkowników. Trzeba wiedzieć, że NO każdy może wejść na każdy serwer – trzeba najpierw dostać zaproszeNO.

Są tu oczywiście rówNOż pokoje, gdzie można rozmawiać głosowo, a nawet włączyć kamerkę czy streamować grę. Ogromną zaletą Discorda jest też wybór botów, które mogą robić NOmal wszystko – od rzucania kostką po odtwarzaNO muzyki.

Rozmowy 1 na 1 rówNOż można tu prowadzić, ale siła Discorda drzemie w obsłudze dużych grup.

Bonus 2: iMessage

Price: switching to the iPhone

Nie brak głosów, że WhatsAppa może zastąpić komunikator iMessage firmy Apple, ale wtedy wszyscy zainteresowani muszą się szarpnąć na iPhone'a, jeśli go jeszcze NO mają. iMessage działa zarówno jako komunikator internetowy, jak i aplikacja do obsługi SMS-ów (wiadomości różnią się kolorem zależNO od pochodzenia).

IMessage is pre -installed on iOS and is surprisingly good in retaining privacy.The only information that is related to the user is an e-mail, phone number, search history and device ID. Wszelkie metadane o rozmowach, lokalizacja czy dane płatności NO są przez Apple zbierane. Oczywiście trochę informacji diagnostycznych zebrać trzeba, ale są one Yes przetworzone, by NO dało się ich połączyć z profilem konkretnej osoby.
