Wire was in the middle of a shitstorm a while back iirc because it falsly advertised that it encrypted everything end-to-end, when in actual fact only text was so.

Doesn't wire use Webrtc? I thought it was encrypted end to end by default. Do you have a source to this?

Here's a source: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2855745/new-communications-app-wire-tones-down-encryption-claims.html http://www.pcworld.com/article/2855745/new-communications-ap... My mistake. Text isn't end-to-end, only calls are.

  The current Privacy page[1] seems to indicate that, at least now, text, image and voice is end-to-end encrypted. [1]: https://wire.com/privacy/ https://wire.com/privacy/

That was indeed the case in December, 2014 (before I joined the team). Legal docs were quickly fixed. Tech was fixed in March 2016 when everything (text, assets, calls) were moved to E2EE and open sourced.
