4 Facebook Messenger Alternatives

WhatsApp

Your phone’s contacts are synced with WhatsApp, which makes it easier to find other users. When you use the desktop version, you can keep working on your computer. You don’t need to pick up your phone. Even though Facebook owns WhatsApp, it has some features that Facebook Messenger doesn’t have.

End-to-end encryption is the main one, which makes it a safe choice. Before, you had to pay for the app, but now it’s free. The people in charge of WhatsApp wanted to keep it separate from Facebook’s ad-based business model, so they started adding features for businesses in 2018.

Signal

Signal is made by the Signal Foundation, which took over development from Open Whisper Systems. The best thing about Signal’s privacy is that the code on the back end is also open source and can be checked. A lot of secure messaging services only open source the front-end (or “client-side”) application code and keep the back-end (or “server-side”) platform private (“server-side”).

Signal doesn’t work like that. This may seem like a small thing, but this extra layer of openness makes the system more trustworthy. It’s one reason why Edward Snowden has given Signal his support. No matter how you feel about him, he knows how to keep his own space.

Telegram

Telegram is a messaging app that puts security and privacy first. The app is easy to use, which is why more than 200 million people use it every month. You can share videos, pictures, and files with a coworker or join a group chat with up to 100,000 people.

If that isn’t enough, there is a feature called “channels.” Here, you can send your message to as many people as you want. If that sounds like too much, you can pin messages to the top of the screen so you can find them quickly.

Wire

Wire is designed for business collaboration, but it also has a basic free plan that can be used by anyone. It is completely open source and all communication is encrypted from end to end. Many security companies have checked the service on their own, so you can be sure it’s safe. Wire is probably too much for one-on-one or small group chats, since it’s meant to be more like Slack. Wire could work, though, if you want to set up secure communication with a larger group.
