I use Telegram for chatting with friends and for my work chats, but last month I'm not satisfied with its work anymore. All I want is to have privacy, stable connection and some additional features like crypto wallet for example to do everything in one place. It will be my dream messenger. Do you know any messengers that have everything at once and are worth trying? And what is your dream messenger?
May be you will like Signal. But still I can't understand why you are not satisfied with Telegram. It's pretty user-friendly end-to-end encryption messenger. You can also use it for safe crypto transactions.
It's not really end-to-end encrypted. Such encryption works for secret chats only which are available on iOS and I have Android and can't create a secret chat anyhow. Moreover it has an access to my mobile phone, address book and many other thing which means it's not private at all. And what about Signal? Does it has any interesting additional functions?
So then I don't know what to advise you since Signal uses standard cellular mobile numbers as identifiers as well as Telegram does. I hardly believe there is a messenger exist which is suit your "complete safety" needs.
If the Signal can be called a safe messenger. yeah, today there is hardly anything better in terms of security. But I can`t say that this messenger is convenient.
As for good messengers with additional services you can check new ones that are based on blockchain. They usually have end-to-end encryption, which makes them more private and have additional functions like crypto wallet, their own coins, system of paid likes and so on. The only thing is that some of them require additional payment and some of them are really new and some functions are only planned for adding now. One of the examples is Adamant.
Signal will be especially good if it will not ask for mobile number during the registration. All the other stuff seems quite good.
That's what I'm talking about in my message. There are better messengers that don't require any of your personal information and I think that they're underrated now as it's the future, private future.
I've already mentioned Adamant, moreover you can try e-Chat - it seems to be quite secure one with a good list of functions.
