 On January 7th, 2021, Facebook changed its policy, prompting many to seek out new messaging platforms. Signal saw a huge increase in signups overnight. Unlike WhatsApp, which has connections to its parent company Facebook, Signal is an independent messaging platform developed by a non-profit that offers ETE encryption. It does not share, read, or look at its users' messages, making it a good alternative to WhatsApp. It works across all platforms, iOS, Android, PC, and Mac. Sending messages, videos, and even documents are easy. Burn to Learn is working to help you understand the changes in technology as they happen. Stay in the know. Subscribe today.
