WhatsApp recently unveiled a "privacy" policy for its users that includes new terms ensuring that the app will share data with Facebook as a condition of its use. Not with us, for which we owe the GDPR. But if you've had enough of the controversies surrounding this chat service, there are plenty of options behind it. Here you will find the 3 best alternative applications for chat within a company or some collective. The condition, of course, is that the title must also be used by the other party.

May 15 was the deadline, in which you must agree to the new terms in the WhatsApp application. Even if they don't change much for Europeans, still on the button I agree you just have to click, otherwise you will be short on features. First, you will lose access to the chat list, then audio and video calls will stop working, and you will no longer receive notifications about new messages. You can find out more on the website support service.

Trello 

Trello can improve your personal and professional life by helping you organize. This popular project management tool makes it easy to switch between tasks and delegate to members of your team or family. Everything revolves around bulletin boards and their cards, each of which can relate to one work team. The cards can then be assigned to colleagues according to the task they are to attend to. The chat takes place directly in them and only with those it concerns. Adding checklists, labels and deadlines is a matter of course. Everything also works offline, with subsequent synchronization of new content as soon as you connect to the network. It's better than Slack for organization, but it's no longer as intuitive for communication.
