Suggested Encrypted messaging apps: Telegram, Wickr

Open mb130R opened this issue 6 years ago • 5 comments

Telegram is most similar to WhatsApp (without being owned by Facebook), and Wickr is pretty much the most secure messagining app out there. Are these worthy of consideration on the list Brian?

Actually, I'm withdrawing Telegram from consideration as it stores messages on unencrypted servers :( So, that just leaves Wickr as a possible choice for the security-savvy.

I didn't know about Wickr, I'll have to check it out! There's other alternatives to Whatsapp discussed here: #85

Thanks Joachim, I'll check out the list.

I agree with adding Wickr and never adding Telegram.
