Abstract:

The CEO of Facebook was invited to testify before Congress in 2016 over the failure of his platform to protect the data of millions of users and its role in Russian interference in the presidential election.

This is due to claims that Cambridge Analytica, a political data company, built voter psychological profiles using data that was collected from as many as 87 million Facebook users some years ago. (Reference: NY Times.)

This presented a clear advantage showing that it is a fantastic tool to employ because you can use it to understand and anticipate the needs of the audience for whom it is being created.

With this incident, we have also realized the disadvantage of how costly information and data actually are, which has raised some doubts and queries:

You might be perplexed as to how they acquired all of your information while obtaining no consent from you.
It also makes you consider why you aren't being paid for your work.
If this makes you wonder

Whisper is a blockchain-based messenger featuring end-to-end encryption and self-destructive features. With the help of its software, users can send and receive messages, pictures, and videos in a secure manner. Additionally, it supports group chats, allowing users to organize conversational groups of up to 200 people. In addition to end-to-end encryption, the Whisper App servers delete any message content that has been saved there to protect users' privacy.

To put it simply, It is a blockchain-based secure digital messenger with an integrated digital wallet for storing digital assets.
With the Whisper App, you may remain completely anonymous while still being yourself.

How the Whisper App ecosystem works.

Whisper MSG allows you to send messages that are only visible to you and your recipient. When looking for someone who recently joined the app, users have the option to search for other people by name or phone number. According to your location, you can use Whisper MSG to make new friends. For instance, if you want to meet up with someone who lives nearby, you may use the app to find them.

According to the official website, Whisper MSG follows strict guidelines regarding customer privacy. Personal data about users, such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers, is not gathered by the company. All data transmitted or received over the Internet is encrypted, per its terms of service.

Whisper vs Whatsapp.

Well, to some readers it is understandable if they aren't yet convinced about whatthe App is capable of and that means we all going to compare Whisper App and Whatsapp.

Whisper App -

High-tech security: The best secure messaging software available is Whisper MSG. Whisper has made a name for itself as a platform that guarantees to offer the best security available on the market. This security is said to protect your emotions, sentiments, goals, and hard work, or, in other words, to keep your money and assets safe.
The encrypted data let it so that only the discussion participants can view the messages, it offers secure messaging.
Very practical: It is clear and simple to use. You won't experience any issues or difficulties using it. It is incredibly user-friendly and has a superb user interface.

Simple Asset Transfer: You can shift digital assets and coins here fast and easily. With this clever Whisper message, you may quickly exchange and swap cryptocurrencies and digital assets. Hence, this aids transactional exchanges on the platform.

Whatsapp -

1). Monitored interactions: Much like Facebook the instant messaging app has faced a lot of backlash from users, this is because they monitor user interactions meaning nothing on the app is confidential. Hence, it is not end-to-end encrypted.

2). Not very Practical: Often times there have been issues of users reporting each other, in a situation whereby this happens.
It causes or better yet attracts bans that are not easy to come back from.

3). Doesn't support Asset transfer: Pretty much self-explanatory, as businesses are currently going digital. Whatsapp has shown to be very unpractical.

###Conclusion -

From a personal perspective, I think it is long overdue: Having users’ sensitive information to be traded off so easily and without the owner’s knowledge or consent is alarming.

And I think the Whisper App offers exactly what everyone has been looking for… on tokenomics I didn't do much research on that but I think it’ll be a big hit if it eventually becomes an everyday app like Facebook, IG, or Twitter.
