Lol they probably would have been caught sooner if they used PGP

  PGP is known to have worked for at least a handful of people and it's easy (comparatively) for normal people to understand the dangers of using. These smartphone apps have spent orders of magnitude less time under attack, are often closed source, often integrate OS vendor and carrier value add in ways that make them weak, and their centralized and closed nature makes forcing both en mass and targeted key exfiltration updates on users trivial. There are zero secure messaging smartphone apps and there never will be unless smartphones substantially change.

    Wire + GrapheneOS isn't secure? Security experts seem to be above justifying their claims 99% of the time these days.
