    What wonders me most is how people still use Facebook, WhatsApp, Viber even knowing that they collect all the data and lose it from time to time. I can't force all my friends to move to Utopia, but I prefer to use their messenger instead of all this popular stuff. Ofc mobile version will change a lot of things. More people will install it as we mostly communicate with phones

    Well, for example, I have to use Signal, because unfortunately there is no Utopia mobile app yet. My friends have set themselves a Utopia, but they rarely use it. I think that after the release of the mobile app, this would change.

    You've just listed the 3 most unsecured chats :) Okay, let's forget about privacy. Aren't you tired of their unstoppable annoying advertisement sent in messages? And in Skype, as I remember there were tens of friend requests daily from some scammy bots. Is it still like that?

    If we talk about Telegram - you forgot to mention all these bots that collect user data against their will, and then sell this data somewhere=))))

    By the way, that Utopia p2p app that I've mentioned, now has a telegram chat https://t.me/utopiachatoff where you can speak to its users and find info if it will suit you as a more encrypted messenger.

    Install Signal or go back to XMPP+OMEMO (with Conversations). Those are the two safest options these days.

    I would vote for Telegram as well.

    Are you the founder of this website you keep talking about or affiliated with them?

    Oh, that's interesting. Do you know who the creator of this chat is? Application developers or fans? In any case, I will pay attention to it.

    Of course, there are many alternatives, but which of them are worth trying. I mean which of them are secured enough? As many popular messengers collect all the data and face its leakage from time to time.

    You're absolutely right, dude. It's probably time to admit that in 2021 it is worth paying attention to more secure applications that may not require the use of personal data at all.

    Have you heard of the latest mass Facebook data leak? It's horrible! I hoped they improved their security means, but no. And taking in consideration that WhatsApp is their child also, I can make only one conclusion...

    I'm beginning to doubt that the security of user data is really important to Facebook. Well, let's see what happens next.

    I like WhatsApp too, I did not notice any problems. But you can, for example, use various similar apps like Telegram

    By the way, you can use add-ons to improve Telegram and WhatsApp, and then the applications will be more feature-rich

    I suggest Discord. It's simple to use Discord safely with the correct privacy settings and monitoring. Accepting friend requests and participating in private servers with individuals you already know is the safest method to use Discord.

    Well, maybe Discord really isn't a bad option. What about a supplement for it? Are there any of those? There are a lot of different add-ons for WhatsApp. For example, I fm whatsapp download, as it's a pretty new and cool option. There's also a dark theme and a lot of different perks. True, I've heard that add-ons are quite dangerous, but there are proven

    From my personal experience and what I have been using, I would recommend Discord as it has pretty much the same options but it's much more secure and you can create different channels (groups) here, join the individual chat or some group chats about some topics.
