About getting rid of WhatsApp

Tuta is the e-mail provider I'm using in my quest towards getting free from Google and other BigTech companies :-)

And Tuta has recently made a post about the reason why one should get rid of WhatsApp ... and what are the possible alternatives!


 Why you should look for a replacement

WhatsApp free might be popular, but it’s not the best app when it comes to privacy and security. You need to into the question of how does WhatsApp make money to understand why WhatsApp must use and abuse your data to be free.

 

Shortcut to the result:

 WhatsApp alternatives: Which is best?

  1. Best WhatsApp for privacy and security: Signal
  2. Best WhatsApp without a phone number: Threema
  3. Best Open Source WhatsApp alternative: Element
  4. Best Alternative to WhatsApp for business: Wire
  5. Best Group Chat Alternative: Telegram
  6. Best Decentralized Chat App: SimpleX
  7. Decentralized and Anonymous Chat: Session
  8. Best alternative for iPhone: iMessage
  9. Best alternative for Android: Google Messages
  10. Unofficial: WhatsApp Plus

GBoard: het Google keyboard op Android ... iets wat ik niet kan missen!



Ik heb gisteren terug GBoard geïnstalleerd op mijn Android Smartphone ... simpel omdat er geen ernstig = even goed alternatief te vinden is :-(
Ik heb wel de privacy settings aangepast om geen feedback van mijn keystrokes naar Google te sturen :-)

Voordelen:

Azerty toetsenbord met Nederlandse "woord-aanvulling / correctie" (de meeste andere keyboards ondersteunen dan enkel Frans, omdat ik voor Azerty kies :-(

Swipen gaat echt heel vlot.
