You only need to register with the service if you want to have a unique username that can be found using the messenger's search function – but this does not mean supplying any personal data. In a similar approach to BitTorrent, the Jami messenger uses a distributed hash table to set up its own network and can therefore do without central registration. This is not true for the open source Jami. Most messengers require central servers in the background, and this, in turn, means registering with your email address or phone number. At the top of the list of reasons why users choose one of these alternatives is the desire for more privacy. Away from the mainstream, smaller messengers such as Wire, Signal, and Telegram have carved out a niche for themselves. Over 1.5 billion users use this messenger, which Facebook acquired in 2014 for $19 billion.
Today they are consigned to internet history, although some online providers still try to sell especially short or easy to remember ICQ numbers for thousands of US dollars.īut the world today uses WhatsApp. AOL, ICQ, MSN – the list of these once extremely popular messengers could be extended considerably.
