SeaFairy: Viber is more popular here.

I used WhatsApp and LINE for chatting with foreigners, but I deleted LINE a while ago.

Maybe I could delete WhatsApp, too.

I heard about Telegram being very safe, but I haven't tried it...
Hello ..nice to see you back Puma. wave

So I've heard? And also Signal but...
Who knows if in a few months down the line they will also become like WhatsApp ? uh oh

Maybe I'll stick with WhatsApp after all as I don't know if all my contacts are prepared to switch?

Nothing to worry , if people aren't agree with new WhatsApp policy it wouldn't effect the users communication but WhatsApp ,people will start using other Apps

Seemingly this does not apply to EU and UK users.....

"Last week, WhatsApp sent a message to all of its users informing them of its new privacy policy, which would share data from the messaging app to Facebook. This data includes battery level information, IP address, browser information, mobile network, phone number and the internet service provider.

This does not include the contents of users’ chats because those are, like Signal, end-to-end encrypted. In fact, WhatsApp uses the same protocol that Signal itself uses.

Moreover, this does not include users in the "European region", which covers the EU, EEA, and the UK (even post-Brexit), despite being given a new privacy policy to agree to. “There are no changes to WhatsApp's data-sharing practices in Europe arising from this update,”
