India leading Signal's growth following WhatsApp user data row

What is the Signal Messenger app?

Although it was introduced in 2014, it is now widely known. The reason is said to be that WhatsApp requests personal data from its users. The signal can be used in all operating systems like Android, Windows, iPhone.

You can also send voice calls, video calls, text, and files through the signal just like WhatsApp. You also have the ability to automatically hide messages. You can only add people to groups by inviting them to the group in this app.

A maximum of 150 people can be added to the group in this app. More than a million people have downloaded this application from the Play Store.

After a great shift of users from Whatsapp over privacy concerns, users have been downloading the Signal app in India more than in any other nation, the messaging app claimed. 

"We have recently become India's most popular app and are also trending as no. 1 on Apple (in 70 countries) and Android (in 35 countries) … Undoubtedly, India is currently leading our growth, with people adopting Signal in record numbers,” the app's Chief Operating Officer Aruna Harder told ThePrint.
