There is just one thing where @threemaapp sucks compared to #Signal and that is sharing video. It is 2021 and for some reason we cannot send videos >50MB without turning their quality to crap. What's the point of 4K on a smartphone if you cannot even share 1080p? This is especially ridiculous since the messages only stay on the servers for a few minutes to hours at most. 🙄

Honestly one of the best features that #Android introduced recently is the ability to grant location services only while using the app.
I wish this was an option for other permissions too 🤔

I just updated to #Android 11, what do I need to turn off? 😂

My 2ct to this whole #WhatsApp #Signal discussion: I prefer #Threema honestly. It's open-source too, but offers a much better privacy since you can use it anonymously. On top of that, it's the only big #messenger that is #GDPR compliant and being based in #Switzerland 🇨🇭 is probably also much better than being based in the #USA.

You have to be naive to believe Apple really cares about the environment and doesn't just want to make more money, but this is a good photo of the impact.

My phone's USB port seems to be malfunctioning. The OS claims that there is water in the port even though it hasn't been anywhere near water and the notification is already there for several days.
I tried every software trick except for factory resetting it. I am not really in the mood for setting up the whole device again.
Did anyone have a similar issue?

Thanks @lefarfadet , @q and @tursiops for the explanantion 👍
So I guess there is no downside to doing it 🤔

This option is new to me. What are the implications of this?

Looks like it's clear 😄

If you need someone else to tell you to switch from #WhatsApp to #Signal #Messenger.

When #Facebook bought #WhatsApp they promised to keep user data separate. Now they are merging it by February 8. If you don't agree to the new terms and conditions, you are locked out.
Now is your last day to switch your communication to something better like #Signal or #Threema.
