Zangi new registration. What’s a Zangi Number? Privacy advancements.
Why we’ve made this change?
We’ve made this change for privacy reasons. We want Zangi messenger not only to be highly protected with 3-leveled encryption and other security measures, but we want Zangi to also be seen as a PRIVATE SPACE. https://zangi.com/news/en/all-about-privacy-encryption-zangi-secure-messaging-app/
Why don’t other messengers work like this?
So why don’t other popular messengers remove Phone Number Registration as well?
- Because some messengers collect such data about users.
- For most others, phone registration is the easiest way for the most number of users to sign up and connect to their apps.
- They prefer: more business, ease > over privacy measures.
It’s not an easy decision that we’ve made. But we’ve made it for all the right reasons.
