Ask HN: What is the most secure chat app?

4 points by binaryfour 6 years ago | 3 comments

Considering the WeChat news, is there a chat app I should be recommending to people whenever they want to chat?

My bet is Signal for really secure chats. For general public Telegram chats are secure enough (but I've heard some specualtions that Durov gave access for FSB, russian security service).

I just heard of Session, which is what let me to bring this up.

I've always used Telegram previously since it seems easier for non-technical people to on-board. However, after hearing this, I think I'm going to start suggesting Session instead. Thanks for the info!
