As I understand it, while they can’t see the contents, the Metadata is still exposed.


Messages in iCloud are E2EE protected only if iCloud Backup is disabled or if iCloud Backup is enabled with Advanced Data Protection (ADP). Otherwise, Apple stores a copy of the encryption key, allowing Apple (or authorities with a court order) to access your messages.
Probably obvious, but messages sent over SMS (green bubbles) are not E2EE.
Telegram uses a proprietary encryption protocol called MTProto, so who knows if it can be trusted.


I used Session for a couple of years, but switched back to Signal because it did a poor job with media sharing.
It’s been a while since I switched back, so maybe it’s fixed now?


Do worry about this troll. I use Brave and don’t feel bad. You can find things you don’t like about everyone, if you go looking.


This is what I use and just firewall it.
It works with MicroG…
I only close by browser for updates, so I use Cookie AutoDelete which removes cookies when the tab is closed. That said, I still instinctively reject cookies when given the option.


Signal is easy to on board folks to. Not a huge fan of the phone number requirement, but it’s worth the trade off for me. I used Session for a while, but media sharing was buggy. I’ve heard good things about Simplex, but the inability to have a desktop client was deal breaker for me.


Even with e2ee, I wouldn’t trust it since they use a closed-source, proprietary encryption protocol.


I’ve used it. I like how it can show trends in test results too.
I love how the only rational person on the thread gets down voted.
I just use an audio recorder while the call is on speaker phone.
