Telegram, in the near future and might use Signal if they improve the UI.
 
I have both telegram and signal. My only gripe with signal is if you happen to transfer your backup to another phone, it won't accept it. I really need to confirm this.
 
if you are going to test, test with the same mobile number. it is unlikely backup would work for another number. i could be wrong though.

Backup and Restore Messages

Signal messages, pictures, files, and other contents are stored locally on your device. If you have your old device, select the platform to transfer messages: Android iOS Desktop Message restor...
support.signal.org support.signal.org

does not seem to say so though. so i guess numbers are not important.
 
I did test it with same number. I had my backup on mmc in Realme xt, sold the phn, got Poco and put the same mmc, same sim card. Tried to restore with the same key... won't restore.
 
A little offtopic here. I actually was thinking of creating a messaging app (serious) It is quite easy to build the app for any company or individual in India . India's own messenger will quite be popularised. But the catch lies afterwards. Handling the data. Setting up data centers in India is not simple. Renting a space or using AWS or Google Cloud is not ideal for Data privacy. And financing in a way is another hell of a job . where it does not collect data and then showing random ads in a way that it does not hinder the messaging experience for anyone . That is why Whatsapp still rules in India(they collect data but do not show ads)

Brazil and India are the top users of Whatsapp . Many people in USA still use text messaging through their carriers

Do share some innovative finance models if you have
