WhatsApp has seen some big changes ever since the social media giant Facebook acquired the app in 2014. It has evolved so much over the years that it would be wrong to call the platform just an instant messaging app. Facebook has added numerous features to make WhatsApp interesting and engaging for users. WhatsApp can now be used for UPI payment, make online video/ voice calls, send documents, set status, and share audio/ video clips, among other things. In addition to these, the company has added a plethora of new features, including multi-device support, disappearing messages, payment backgrounds, and WhatsApp call from PC, among other things, this year.

Either way, sucks for Telegram, considering the newfound success the social media message sharing platform has seen in recent years. Much of this success can be traced back to WhatsApp's infamous policy change that it tried to enforce onto users back in early 2021. The potential harm that such a change could inflict on to user date, combined with parent company Facebook's less than stellar track record, led to many users abandoning the platform as a whole. Where did all of these individuals go to, then? Fellow competing apps Signal and, of course, Telegram.A major reason that Signal and Telegram joined the party is because of their record for maintaining user security and privacy. With encryption on par or better than WhatsApp's, combined with absolutely no storage of messages, the platforms made their way towards a steady increase in both users and…

The world will listen,” one woman wrote.“Ufff, when will the morning come so we can go out again?” another asked.The group's name – changed often to avoid detection should any of the women be detained – is anonymous, as are the women who run it.
