I'd argue that if someone wants to get a flip phone for privacy reasons they should be able to not download shady apps and give them permissions without thinking.
You can see if your message was sent to the server and if the message was sent to your friends phone. I haven't really had any problems delivering messages apart from one time when they had servers problems. No need to…
No affiliation, and never talked to Moxie or any other dev as far as I know.
Apps on your smartphone only get access to your messages if you give them permission.
> People with security, budget and privacy concern go for flip phones. No. That ensures you can't send encrypted messages or do encrypted calls. Also see one of the reasons Signal moved to sending encrypted messages as…
Signal has that too https://whispersystems.org/blog/disappearing-messages/ And using GCM is only a problem for people running a custom Android ROM without Google Play Services. They can use MicroG instead. For the vast…

Edward Snowden, Bruce Schneier, Matt Green and a few more. I think it's secure because it's been audited, because I trust the experts who say that it is secure, because of…
Seems reasonable that an app that's used for messaging my contacts has access to my contacts. What exactly are you nervous about?
Over the past year, we've been progressively rolling out Signal Protocol support for all WhatsApp communication across all WhatsApp clients. This includes chats, group chats, attachments, voice notes, and voice calls…

Yes, if everyone switches to a fork that doesn't have a particular feature, then they won't have that particular feature.
What good is a seatbelt if the person sitting next to you can stab you? The blog post makes a point of this not being secure if the person you're messaging is malicious and that's not what it's for. I think these two…
