Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. Signal foregoes the latter to provide the former to a much wider range of people; foregoing the latter enables substantially better usability for non-technical people.

Threema (not free as in free beer) Wire Matrix XMPP Telegram (can be used E2EE for 1:1 chats only and is off by default)
