Summary | A list of popular messengers is analyzed in terms of how well they protect their users' privacy. The safest one is Signal and many others have end-to-end encryption, for instance WhatsApp. They still collect the metadata though (interlocutors, time of interaction, location). Some even save the content that is sent around - most shockingly Snapchat which is popular becuase it supposedly leaves no trace. Some messengers supposedly have ties with national security ministries, like Telegram in Russia and Viber in Israel. Apple recently refused to work with the FBI in giving away a customer's personal information.

(Snapchat introduces a repeat function)

Summary | Snapchat, which is notoriously known for the self-destruction of its content, has introduced a repeat function. The new function is said to be available once a day per user and is being tested in the US only for now. If users want to see more repeats, they can pay $0.99 and get to watch unlimited replays. Considering that Snapchat has had safety breaches in the past, this move is quite odd because it turns the main component of Snapchat around.
