Instant messaging apps have become a blessing in disguise for us all. We hardly can imagine our lifestyle without any such application. WhatsApp and Telegram are amongst such market leaders when it comes to such instant messaging platforms. However, WhatsApp has been taking a lot of heat due to its newly announced privacy policy.

And since privacy is a major concern amongst the masses, people have started looking out for options. A surge has been in the Telegram and Signal Messaging app's user base in recent weeks.
