Status updates
If you are going to use Signal instead of WhatsApp, then it is very important to know that you will not get the Status feature on ‘Signal’. The Facebook-owned company allows you to set photos and videos as your WhatsApp status for 24 hours, which only you and your contacts can see. However, this feature is currently not available on Signal.
WhatsApp payment
This much-awaited feature of WhatsApp was introduced only in November last year, which people had started taking advantage of. But now users who are switching from WhatsApp to Signal will definitely miss the absence of this feature. Through the WhatsApp payment feature, you could make payments from your contacts to any UPI. However, WhatsApp users need to link their bank account details with WhatsApp in order to make and receive payments.
group calling
Using the WhatsApp group calling feature, you can digitally connect with your friends and family. However, this feature on Signal is currently on beta version, which may take some time to roll out. But you have been using this feature on WhatsApp for a long time.
Customized wallpapers
WhatsApp recently released the custom wallpaper feature for its users. Through this feature, users can set different wallpapers in different chats. You will not find this advanced feature of WhatsApp on Signal.
online
Whenever a user is on WhatsApp, his other contacts see that he is online so that they can start a conversation with each other. But like other features of WhatsApp, this feature is also not present on Signal.
Let us know that WhatsApp has changed its policies and this change is not safe for the user’s personal data. As per the policy, it will now be mandatory to share data with Facebook, but WhatsApp has now clarified that the privacy policies for users remain unchanged. The new privacy policy changes are for Business accounts only.
