I researched online messaging apps WhatsApp (owned by Facebook), Telegram and Signal. Of the three, my review indicated quite clearly that ‘Signal’ is the best at assuring privacy.

A comment from a FReeper about Signal. Just a rumor? Maybe. Will check it out. No need to jump to any conclusions.

I’ll check into it along with any alternatives, etc.

Signal might be the best app out there for its purpose. I wasn’t trying to pile negatives on it. Just looking and will look some more. I’m behind on smartphone stuff and will start fiddling with it. Needed to start using a couple of phones with a VPN anyway.
