Encrypted Messaging App CoverMe Releases Expert Tips on How to Protect Data from Misuse
Online Privacy awareness has become a growing issue for internet users. Recently, growing concerns around WhatsApp’s updated Privacy Policy seems to be pushing more and more users to alternatives that ensuring data commitment and privacy protection.
Earlier this month, WhatsApp, the messaging app owned by social networking giant Facebook, has updated its Privacy Policy, with which WhatsApp asked users to agree to new terms of conditions that grants the app the consent to share with Facebook some personal data about them, such as their phone number and location.
Although WhatsApp has clarified that the new privacy norms are addressed only for business accounts and compromised to delay enforcement of the planned privacy update following backlash from users, the initial way the data sharing policy is being pushed to has caused a severer crisis of confidence.
According to CNET, encrypted-messaging apps Signal and Telegram are reporting massive surges in new users following tweets from tech mogul Elon Musk, who urged his audience to drop WhatsApp over its privacy policy changes.
Encrypted calling and messaging app, CoverMe, also saw downloads surge globally as tens of millions of WhatsApp users to explore alternative messaging apps.
CoverMe is a secure chat application that uses end-to-end encryption technology to better protect users’ messages and files from potential intruders trying to access them.
What is different from Signal and Telegram is as a private messenger, CoverMe offers calls from a burner line, which means the connection cannot be tracked. With the app, users can make encrypted voice calls without any record on the phone bills. The app also includes a vault or private capsule feature for added security, which allows users to store files and hide videos, photos, passwords, and any files.
CoverMe’s cybersecurity experts encourage users to establish habits to use encrypted features of the secret text messages APP, including using an online private vault to hide sensitive information that can be used to steal your identity, sending personal information with disappearing texts, and recalling sent texts after received, and making private calls from private numbers.
“CoverMe so long was widely used by journalists, geeks and security experts who are well aware of risks and general insecurity of data in the digital world, with concerns over WhatsApp’s updated privacy policy rapidly growing, more users are getting done with constant snooping,” said Alex, Product Manager of CoverMe.
“Noticing the importance of saving themselves from prying eyes by downloading these private communication apps is the performance of widely cognitive enhancement in the digital era.” He added.
