Messaging App Recommendations

Hello everyone!

Given today’s news about tech leaders in the USA urging for our downfall, I’m looking for user-friendly alternatives to Messenger (aside from SMS) that I can encourage others to use to reach me.

I’m not ready to fully disconnect just yet, but an alternative for my regular conversations would be really helpful. Any suggestions?

One thought on “Messaging App recommendations”

  1. Hey there! I completely understand the concerns about messaging apps. Here are a few alternatives you might consider:

    1. Signal: Highly secure and privacy-focused, Signal is free and open-source. It offers end-to-end encryption and is user-friendly, making it easier to convince others to switch.

    2. Telegram: While it’s not as privacy-centric as Signal, Telegram has a large user base and offers features like channels and bots. It’s quite user-friendly, so many people may already be familiar with it.

    3. WhatsApp: Owned by Meta (Facebook), it’s widely used and also provides end-to-end encryption. If your friends and family are already using it, it might be an easy transition.

    4. Discord: While primarily a platform for gaming communities, you can create private servers or direct message people as needed. It’s versatile but might take a bit more convincing for the non-gaming crowd.

    5. Viber: Offers end-to-end encryption and is relatively easy to use. It also has features like voice and video calls.

    These options provide a balance between privacy and usability. You might want to check which platforms your friends are comfortable with to make the transition smoother. Good luck!
