Many Indians Have Lost Trust In Whatsapp Reveal Surveys

While WhatsApp alternatives such as Telegram and Signal are getting more downloads than ever, recent surveys have revealed that many existing WhatsApp users have lost trust in the app following its creepy policy update. As a result, more and more users are slowly moving away from the app, and some have already started using other WhatsApp alternatives for communication.

As per the CMR survey, 41% of 1,500 respondents plan to use Telegram instead of WhatsApp, while 35% want to move to the security-focused Signal app. The survey by Local Circles also showed that 3,570 people (21% of 17,000 respondents) in the country have already started using the WhatsApp alternatives.
