I don't want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it's F-Droid options for me...
Any opinions on Jami?
I'm also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more...

I found SimpleX Chat to be a fairly decent alternative without phone numbers.

How, in 2024, are people still using TEXTs??
There are so many apps for encrypted messaging, even fricken WhatsApp.
How do people still use text messages
It's an American thing.

Signal or WIRE.
When the article about end to end user encryption messaging platforms mentions neither I have to question why it’s even an article.

Session is very good and doesn’t require a phone number (like Signal).
Clunky for the average joe
In what way? I find it exactly the same as Signal but without needing to disclose my phone number (and therefore more anonymous). The user experience, imho, is the same.
I don’t believe Signal requires a phone number anymore
It does. You just don't need to give it out to communicate anymore
Ah gotcha. Thanks
