Signal is a secure messenger that is widely touted as one of the best options. This Signal review shows you the pros and cons.
"When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on."
This isn't an ad, I wasn't paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. ๐ ๐
Personally, Telegram is my favourite one. Feature complete, a ton of convenience features as well, totally secure if you want it instead of cloud storage etc
I find telegram super odd. Especially the publicly searchable groups for something that's supposed to be secure and how the first things that come up when I search my city is groups selling heroin.
