Signal :)

  This! I just wish they used username/passwords instead of phone numbers for conversations.

    If that's what you need then maybe ChatSecure is what you're looking for.

  But, isn't Signal by WhisperSystems whose tech has been implemented by WhatsApp and has also been audited by WhisperSystems. If we are to believe that WhatsApp is compromised, how can we believe that Signal isn't?

    signal is open source, so we can audit their code and see that they are doing what they claim to be. Cant do that with WhatsApp.....I am not sure if the server code for Signal is open source though

    If you don't understand the nature of the complaint Durov is repeating, why are you commenting on it?
    • srikz 10y ago
      Sorry, but why the negativity? Could have been clarified like the next comment.

        Injecting non-sequiturs into threads wastes everyone's time, which is what you did. Incidentally: the clarification downthread, while valid, is not the reason your comment is a non-sequitur.
