The co-founder of Skype, Janus Friis, is now head of a new start-up called ‘Wire.’ Wire is a 50-person start-up handling a messenger service which promises end-to-end encryption.
The app also encrypts video -no one else's done that yet. The company said that Facebook's Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema and Signal only encrypt parts of a message or for a few services. The Switzerland based company stores user communications on its own computers and its privacy protections are always on even on multiple devices.
Wire has received financial backing from Iconical, but has not disclosed how much funding it has received exactly.
One important point to know is that there’s no advertising in Wire. The app is a very clean one and has a more dynamic and ethereal interface than most messengers.
Be Smart, Keep Teching !!
