Thank you for this subject matter! All week I have been soothing concerns. I use Signal. A few years ago I briefly used What'sApp for a European cousin who was charged per email use. I ceased using it after noticing the app was taking over my contact list. A timely newsletter, of course :)

Thank you, Rena. I use WhatsApp and Signal about just as much. WhatsApp is very popular in Europe.

I am forced to still use WhatsApp because that's what most work colleagues use.

I use signal about as much as I use Threema with everybody else.

I love Threema and was among the first to use it - it was still free then.

But I'd be happy to pay for it if I started out now.

So many things I like about it (I'm gonna let you look it up yourself) but not all that many people are using it yet. Especially not outside of Switzerland. I think all my contacts in there are Swiss. What might be interesting for people is that with Threema you don't even have to give out your phone number - everybody has an ID.

Very informative article. Thank you.
