It is very unlikely to recommend anyone products with default end to end encryption.
Few people really need that, as proven by Telegram: it became by far more popular and usable over their competition precisely because unlike whatsapp you can log in on any device and have your chat history right there, with all your endless pictures! And users love that.
You just can't do that on WhatsApp or Viber precisely because of end to end encryption and the necessity to drag the keys along everywhere and have problems adding new devices.
It's time to end this "E2EE must be everywhere" propaganda promoted by privacy-ticked nerds. Real encryption either greatly reduces UX, or it is a security theater. Security chats should be an option, when you need to have a really secret conversation. Most chats don't need that at all.
