      Depends on how dogmatic you want to get. Signal gets a passing grade from nearly all privacy focused groups, including the EFF.

      Of course it has centralized control, and if they really wanted to, they could push out a change that creates huge privacy and security problems, but as a not for profit, they really have no incentive to do anything nefarious.

      If you truly want to have 100% security, you need to go to school for a decade, learn how the latest encryption and security works, create your own ecosystem, and have zero bugs or problems.

      It’s centralized. And like all US based companies they have to conply to Patriot Act and Cloud Act, meaning US government agencies have everything not encrypted (dynamic map of all messages and social links).

      Plus Signal has been founded by the CIA organisms (indirectly), it’s really shady

      Session is the only one that comes to mind but they did such an overkill when it comes to privacy and security application is downright unusable.
