The Cupertino company launched in its latest version of iOS an interesting little tracking system that helps users apallow, block and track about the data that the installed applications collect from oneself, something that until now had had little visibility.
The privacy controversy that Apple fueled with the launch of its anti-tracking tools has created a crisis on WhatsApp. The instant messaging application is reaping its worst numbers in recent years, will it be a definitive blow to the hegemony of this beloved and hated application?
While according to Tower Sensor application WhatsApp has seen a 43% decrease in downloads compared to last year, in the same period its direct rivals such as Signal or Telegram have grown up to 1.200% (yes, we have written 1.200%). Much of this bump may be due to the Facebook scandals, the final formalization of the integration between the big "F" and WhatsApp and of course the visibility that Apple has given to the privacy problems posed by these types of applications that do not have the slightest modesty in tracking each of the movements that we are making.
Thus, Telegram has hit right where WhatsApp perished. Despite that dark aura about Telegram due to the dubious legality of certain content that is housed on its servers, the reality is that as an application it is not only better designed, but also provides a plus of privacy and personalization that WhatsApp does not even dream of. Undoubtedly, 2020 has been the best year for Telegram, who was going to tell you that its successes would come as a result of a WhatsApp gaffe, and not precisely from the good work behind the aforementioned application, do you have WhatsApp the days numbered?
