All users must accept the new terms of the company if they want to continue using WhatsApp, the spokesperson added.

After Tesla CEO and the world's richest person Elon Musk recommended Signal over WhatsApp, a sudden surge in demand for the application led to delays in phone number verification of new users. The data collected by this like your contact numbers, your name, etc.is very safe according to their privacy level.

To attract more new users, Signal published a simple explanation of the usage rules to help them transfer their conversations easily from another messaging application. Also, users can also choose not to share their address book to use the app, which is usually the norm with IM apps.

Signal, a cross-platform encrypted messaging service was developed by a non-profit organisation, Signal Foundation, set up by former WhatsApp co-founder Brien Acton who left WhatsApp in 2017. Also, the Signal group can be shared on other apps as well to get the other users onboard.

What remains to be seen is if Signal manages to retain the exodus of users that has been triggered by WhatsApp's change in terms of services. The board will be probing the new privacy policy for possible violations of the country's competition laws over Facebook's increased interest in collecting users' private data.

However, he explained WhatsApp will now provide "some information" to its parent company Facebook. WhatsApp remains deeply committed to protecting people's privacy. From February 8, FB will also be able to tie accurate location data if you give WhatsApp permission to use this. In his tweet, Sharma said that "we should move on to Signal now".

"Instead of adopting a unilateral approach, such policy changes should have been made after wider consultation", Radio Pakistan quoted Fawad as saying on the recent privacy changes.

Messaging app WhatsApp has continued to receive backlash from users after it updated its privacy policy.

Telegram is already a much more popular application than Signal, and in just two days it marked more than 2 million installations worldwide. However, this will not impact personal chats, which will still be end-to-end encrypted.
