The growth of Telegram in recent times is being in a natural way being something more than an alternative to WhatsApp. It is a client that users come to trust given all the advantages offered over others, including one of the currently widely used utilities, voice chat.
After Parler was eliminated, eyes are now on Telegram, all after the news has broken that Apple is being pressured to withdraw the service created by Pavel Durov. With this, the apple firm would be forced to withdraw the application from the App Store and all its platforms.
A group files a lawsuit to withdraw the app
A non-profit group has filed a lawsuit in order to pressure to the Silicon Valley company for removal of the application from the App Store. They do all this given "the number of extremist groups in the app," at least that is what the letter sent to the Washington Post assures.
This lawsuit against Apple happens for quite similar causes, both supporters and extremists of Donald Trump have looked for alternatives in the Apple store to communicate directly. Telegram has been growing in recent weeks in an abysmal way, more than 25 million new users are already using the service.
In 2018 they already removed it from the App Store
Already in 2018 Telegram Apple itself warned the application about inappropriate content which was accessible to users, withdrawing the app together with another client, Telegram X. Apple for the moment has not spoken, despite that at the moment there is a lot of uncertainty as to whether or not the client will be withdrawn from the store.
Telegram has end-to-end encryption, it is by position one of those that by weight is taking in a large mass the departure of WhatsApp users, a service that sells the information of all its users. WhatsApp and also Signal share data with Google, there is a conflict of interest.
The danger of WhatsApp and its backup
It is already known that WhatsApp makes a backup of all the information generated on a daily basis, it is stored in Google Drive and Google has access to that copy from which it takes data to send advertising. WhatsApp has given until May 15 to confirm the privacy policy, with which you will properly benefit from the data of all your users.
The flight of many thousands of people from WhatsApp is a reality, there are many people who notify the joining of new users to the platform when they receive notifications from friends. WhatsApp knew that with this strategy it would lose quite a few people and the volume will grow as the weeks go by.
Signal uses Google servers
Those people who are thinking about switching to Signal right now because of its high security touch to mention that the application uses Google servers. Apart from that, the app provides our phone number, which makes it vulnerable and that any of your contacts have it without your consent.
Signal received a donation from one of the co-founders of WhatsApp. This co-founder went to work on Facebook to bring WhatsApp. A year after being on WhatsApp and realizing that they were using user data, he left the company by going against what the application (WhatsApp) always was. Signal is currently growing at a good rate, although it does not do so in all countries.
Apple should ignore this demand
Despite the demand for Telegram to be removed from the App Store, the Cupertino company will have to ignore a demand that for the moment belongs to a group and not in a general way. Except for surprise, the application will continue to be present in the application store, since it does not violate any of the rules.
The envy behind Telegram is quite great, such that many enemies grow when an application is uploaded that is sheltered by a large community of 525 million users who have downloaded the client. Many support Signal, others want to bring down Telegram, but the truth only has one way.
