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?


What about Delta Chat?
Delta Chat doesn’t support calls, same with Briar so I haven’t tried them since calls are as important as messages for me.
They do support it (Settings -> Advanced ->enable Debug calls or wait a few days for the latest release). Also chatmail servers provide turn/stun for calls if they couldn’t established as p2p.
Interesting, didn’t know this, nice, may be a gamechanger, but I couldn’t find information on either calls are e2ee or not.
Yes, p2p or via turn server, always encrypted the same way as messages.
Full topic is here: https://support.delta.chat/t/help-testing-upcoming-delta-chat-release-with-calls/4220
The latest version also got much nicer calls interface: https://deltachat.github.io/deltachat-android/CHANGELOG.html#v2460
