I am a firm believer that there are many privacy techniques you should focus on before encrypted messaging because they will offer you much more “bang for your buck,” things like good passwords, two-factor authentication, and even encrypted email. That said, I still believe that encrypted messaging is a critical part of a well-rounded privacy and security strategy. While the vast majority of our day-to-day conversations may be benign, it can still offer a lot of insight into who we are as people – our routines, likes, and personal thoughts. This information – mundane or not – is worth protecting.

    I like Signal, but I really miss multi device support. Same issue with Threema.

      Yeah that’s a bummer. Signal has multi device support but only for desktop and iPad (yeah, not Android tablets), but you always need to have a master phone device.

      It’s been an issue for so long, but this is Signal, they do whatever the f they want.

      the fact that you like it doesn’t make best or even decent in terms of privacy

      It is not like they couldn’t support it. Simplex Chat has early support and Session has supported it for a long time.
