i've just seen a comment in a post, in this very community, saying people trust signal because of missinformation (from what i could undertand).
if this is true, then i have a few questions:
-what menssaging app should i use for secure communications? i need an app that balances simplicity and security.
-how to explain it to my friends who use signal because i recomended?
-what this means for other apps in general?
It's always gonna be a moving target. Wife and I started using Telegram because it wasn't monitored like Facebook Messenger (which I don't have an account for) or WhatsApp. Now people are saying Telegram isn't good enough, use Signal. It's still good enough for us. I also have Signal. No one I know uses it, but I have it in case they wanna start using it.
Honestly though, iMessage is secure enough for most people. Basically texting through Apple servers.
But any security or privacy expert will tell you that you need to determine your own threat model. No one else can tell you what that is.
