Signal app enjoys ‘unprecedented’ growth after WhatsApp privacy controversy – The Australian Financial Review
Along with another encrypted app, Telegram, Signal has been the main beneficiary of online outrage about Whatsapp privacy changes announced last week.
He also said Signal was working to improve its video and group chat functions, allowing it to compete better with WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams and other conferencing apps that have become vital to day-to-day life over the past year.
Signal was downloaded by 17.8 million users over the past seven days, a 62-fold rise from the previous week, according to data from Sensor Tower. WhatsApp was downloaded by 10.6 million users during the same period, a 17 per cent decline.
