Background: I believe there was a feature before (or maybe currently still, but I turned it off) about showing number of unread messages on apps like whatsapp, viber or the SMS app (and i guess gmail or facebook) or at the very least there's some kind of dot or something on a corner of the icon of such an app that indicates there exists at least 1 unread message (so the dot is an alternative to a specific number of unread messages).
My situation: I do not have such number or dot on icons on apps on my device. If I get a message on whatsapp or viber or regular SMS but say I have to install some updates and so my phone has to turn off or restart, then the notification of this message is gone.
Signal Private Messenger is one of the most secure IM apps available today and it not only encrypts messages but it also encrypts calls. So, if you are looking for a more secure Viber alternative, this is the one for you. Signal also makes sure that it works fast enough even when you are in a poor network environment, which is a big plus for people living in developing countries. Other than that, Signal Private Messenger packs in the usual messaging features like media sharing, group chats etc. Sadly, Signal is only available for iOS and Android devices.
