Signal by Open Whisper Systems is far and away the most popular right now.
- M_Grey 10y agoThanks, I appreciate that.
- wtbob 10y agoNote that with cell phone spoofing, someone could impersonate you to OWS. All your contacts would get messages stating that your key ('secret numbers,' I think is the term they use) has changed, and all messages would then go to the imposter.
- wapz 10y agoDo you have any info on how cell phone spoofing works? Is the IMEI number used by signal to verify you?
- hughw 10y agoIsn't WhatsApp more popular? I understood it to be more popular and accessible while still using the Signal protocol.
- SturgeonsLaw 10y agoMore popular, but also closed source and owned by Facebook (make of that what you will)
- stevehawk 10y agowho has publicly stated that they're mining the metadata, and does not by default notify you when one end's keys change (say if the phone were compromised).
