FIRST: THE  AI REVIEW

 My Own Review Chat GPT AI VS Perplexity Free

PS I vote for Chat GPT AI (unpaid also paid, which I just signed up for… and can barely find anything different from FREE) I enjoy using it for Bible  History research, Hebrew, Greek, where applies and for responding to “Jesus is Savior” similar probing “Bible truth” in Ministry (for at least now)

I did try Perplexity FREE but was highly VERY disappointed. (pet peeve: it avoids being “direct’ “to the point’ also it’s banal moral ambiguity) It skirted questions (and I to re–pose them 3 -4 times (at least!) in many different attempts, re-wordings) for it IN THIS WISE PERSON’S OPEN “more WOKE”  far into politically correct (as I had to fight with it to get it to really say what I knew God would view as “Bible beliefs” PLUS Chat GPT AI is so more in depth, actually will write out long quality indepth answers, (in Hebrews, aligned (RIGHT AS OF NOW) Scripture responses, where as I could not get any in depth answer until IT FIRST ASKED ME a handful of questions, (seemed to argue, block and avoid what I could count on CHAT GPT AI doing from the very start.

Of course, that is MY Opinion, so it’s on YOU to decide. I am now writing so much that I do not feel like arguing the AI to figure it out as it does NOT AT THE FIRST answer any of my MAIN QUESTIONS (again. which CHAT GPT AI really does)

Quick Comparison Table

WhatsApp, Viber, and Telegram, focusing on encryption, privacy, user base, and notable features.

Encryption & Privacy

WhatsApp

• End-to-end encryption (E2EE) by default for all messages, calls, media, and even backups—using the widely trusted Signal Protocol.
  WikipediaarXivWIREDNew York Post

• Metadata is not encrypted, and since it’s owned by Meta, some metadata (like usage patterns) may be shared across its ecosystem and potentially used for ad targeting. Ads have now been introduced in WhatsApp’s “Updates” tab, raising privacy concerns.
  Tom’s GuideNew York Post

• Vulnerabilities have been noted, such as potential attacks on how pre-keys (used for maintaining E2EE and perfect forward secrecy) are handled.
  arXiv

Viber

• Offers E2EE by default for one-on-one and group chats, covering calls as well.
  VPNOverview.comQuickBloxeylenburg.github.io

• Utilizes a custom encryption protocol with elements similar to Signal’s—but it’s closed-source, thereby lacking external verification.
  WikipediaSafe Smart LivingQuickBlox

• Privacy features include disappearing and hidden chats, PIN lock, and community messaging without revealing phone numbers.
  VPNOverview.comAvast

• Downsides: collects more metadata, tracks users’ social media activity, and requires a phone number to sign up—impacting anonymity.
  NordVPNVPNOverview.comeylenburg.github.io

Telegram

• E2EE is not on by default. Only one-on-one messages in “Secret Chats” use E2EE, which must be manually enabled. Regular chats are cloud-based and stored on Telegram servers.
  WIREDAvastAP NewsWikipedia+1

• Secret Chats don’t support group messaging, and cloud chats remain accessible to Telegram (and potentially vulnerable to hacks or surveillance).
  WIREDAP NewsThe GuardianWikipedia

• Uses its own MTProto encryption protocol, which has undergone some formal security validation—but its default setup leaves privacy gaps.
  Wikipedia

Feature & Usage Overview

Encryption & Privacy

• WhatsApp

  • End-to-end encryption (E2EE) is enabled by default for all messages, calls, media, and backups—using the trusted Signal Protocol. Wikipedia+1

  • Metadata (like who you message, when, profile info) is collected, and as a Meta-owned app, it can be shared or used for ads and legal requests. New York PostarXiv

• Viber

  • Also provides default E2EE for one-on-one and group chats and calls. WIREDsecuremessagingapps.com

  • Uses a proprietary encryption protocol (not open-source), making it harder for external audits. securemessagingapps.com

  • Collects more metadata than apps like Signal and is tied to a phone number. securemessagingapps.comWikipedia

• Telegram

  • E2EE is not the default. Only available via Secret Chats, which must be enabled manually—and not available for groups or cloud chats. AP NewsWikipediaSpaceship.com

  • Regular messages are encrypted in transit and stored in the cloud, meaning Telegram can access them. New York PostSpaceship.com
