Top Platforms For Discreet Communication

It is incredible the number of things on which, in cascade, the travel restrictions have had such an impact as to completely upset our old habits. Communication is now online for at least 80% of its content, home working has become a solid reality, and more! The reunions with friends, the dating of couples, all of this have been moved to the digital plane with unprecedented speed. Until 2020, few people worked on a remote system. How many had ever celebrated their birthday online? We could not even imagine that a large part of our time would be spent in communication apps. Now, however, we cannot imagine our life without a computer (smartphone), the Internet, and various platforms.

Here is a list of the nine best software that have benefited most and accompanied the new trends of discreet communication. Their advantages are that they allow you to communicate and exchange information online, without worrying that your data will be available to anyone other than you. The privacy policy and terms of use make them ideal for important work meetings as well as personal discreet chats.

· Dating sites

Let's start with platforms for personal life and dating. After all, this area has also changed with the advent of digital communication. The choice of platforms in the dating market is great; everyone can choose the one that suits their preferences. It should be important that the platform allows you to find a casual hookup in a discreet way unless you want to step out of the shadow of anonymity in front of your chat mate.

· WhatsApp

Zuckerberg's application knows no rivals, in February 2020 the company announced the news that it had already reached 2 billion active users. And you can see that they are seriously active since in October of the same year there was talk of about 100 billion messages delivered per day!

· Houseparty

This application born in 2015 aims to allow groups of friends to meet in video conferences with up to 8 people, the application contains group games such as Uno or Magic 8-Ball. The application, which appears to be made specifically for a quarantine situation, had had some success with timid but constant growth rates until 2020, the year in which it even won a Webby Awards for "the most explosive application of the year".

· Viber

Viber is an application for making phone calls and sending text messages completely free of charge. Unlike WhatsApp, it allows you to make calls with this technology to any mobile number even if you don't have Viber installed.

· Slack

Slack is a brilliant application designed with the aim of serving as a functional platform on which to base multidisciplinary work projects. The application is used to keep the various professional figures in contact and keep track of the work done. Founded in 2013, it was sold to Salesforce in December 2020 for the exorbitant sum of almost 30 billion dollars.

· Microsoft Teams

The direct competitor of Slack, this Microsoft communications platform, has direct integration with all office software and the Windows ecosystem on its side. However, as Microsoft's history demonstrates, this advantage is not enough to make all of Microsoft's products dominant over the competition.

· Skype

Staying at Microsoft, we cannot fail to mention Skype, the messaging application par excellence, which during this pandemic has accompanied the evenings of millions of people around the globe.

· Telegram

The application is currently considered among the safest and discreet in the world and is benefiting greatly not only from the global quarantine but also from the recent decline in the image of its direct competitor WhatsApp, which with the update at the beginning of 2021 has begun to share all the address book of users who have installed it, thus sparking controversy and boycotts worldwide.

· Zoom

How not to mention this application? Although it was founded in 2011, has been listed on the stock exchange since March 2019 and has already had double-digit growth rates for some time, Zoom has really entered our homes due to the suspension of school lessons, incredibly benefiting from this situation.

All of these apps have in common that they have helped billions of people stay connected despite limitations. Their existence is what distinguishes our age from the previous ones. The use of these technologies is the safest way we have to communicate, work and date.
