In the following article, we will present Whatsapp alternatives that encrypt your data during use and protect you against possible monitoring or data theft.
Since it was announced that Facebook bought the short news messenger Whatsapp for 19 billion US dollars, many users inform themselves about Whatsapp alternatives. The weakest point of the hitherto most popular messenger has always been the security risk that its users have entered.
