WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal; three of the most popular secure and private messaging platforms for your digital devices, allowing you to communicate with your friends and family in secret. How do they stack up against each other, and what makes one better than the other for your needs? Will they give you an anonymous experience?

Thanks for watching everyone! This video has a few mistakes that need clearing up: A) Telegram is FOSS and utilizes FOSS encryption, though it’s still not quite as proven as Signal’s Encryption. B) Telegram does have E2EE but it’s not a default and is restricted to secret chats. C) The Privacy/Security “Colors” at the end are an over-simplification and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. They are just representations of some pros/cons of each provider.

Some attributes of each service I take a look at are encryption methods, features usage and usability, as well as privacy concerns like requiring a phone number or collection of data and/or metadata. I also give the pros and cons to each service and what person it's geared towards to simplify your decision.
