• What were your less than ideal experiences with GrapheneOS?

  Check out https://molly.im/. It's a hardened Signal fork with one version stripping the google dependencies out of it. Push notifications work flawlessly even with battery optimization enabled. Source: 11 months ago

• Signal Removes SMS - Any Recommendations?

  The one benefit is that we now have no reason NOT to use Molly (the hardened version of Signal). Previously I didn't just because of sms. https://molly.im/. Source: 12 months ago

• ‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’

  Signal uses Curve25519, AES-256, and HMAC-SHA256 for its e2e encryption. So unless you believe those algorithms are insecure, there's no reason to think that their server setup is a compromise on your messages' security.

• Breaking Global Communication Barriers

  WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails.
