»Signal Is About To Get More Money To Make the WhatsApp Rival Better, Thanks To Elon Musk 2-MIN READ Signal Is About To Get More Money To Make the WhatsApp Rival Better, Thanks To Elon Musk In response to a tweet, Elon Musk confirmed that he will invest again in the Signal app. Users are downloading instant messenger apps such as Signal and Telegram, which are considered to be more secure than WhatsApp after the latter released the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Last Updated:January 12, 2021, 11:12 IST FOLLOW US ON: The Signal instant messaging app has been consistently reporting a surge in new users as well as first time downloads of the app globally. The trends seem to indicate that too. The Signal app has climbed to the top of the charts on the Apple App Store for the iPhone in many countries including India and is hovering close to the top on the Google Play Store for Android phones too—surprisingly in India, it is the third most popular free app after MX TakaTak short video app and SnackVideo. Nevertheless, if you have been wondering how the Signal app will sustain the spike in new users and improve the product at the same time, Elon Musk’s tweet should provide some relief. Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been a very vocal supporter of the privacy focussed instant messaging app, at a time when Facebook-owned WhatsApp has the most users globally.
