Ahead of May 15, WhatsApp has taken a swipe at Telegram, the biggest winner from January’s backlash. “Use an alternative if you take your own privacy seriously,” security writer Mike Thompson advises WhatsApp users, advocating for Signal instead.

Both platforms are well set to benefit from any May 15 WhatsApp backlash.
