An alternative approach I am working on is simply doing the encryption outside of the phone. Yes this requires a second device, but it allows you to do true E2E hardware encryption and still use twitter or whatsapp or whatever platform. With this appraoch Apple, Google or the EU government cant really stop you. [edit-to-add] obvious downside to this model is that your friends then need to have the same type of device as well, so it's kinda apple-to-oranges comparison...
