There must be a hundred third-party freeware apps that let you encrypt files. Heck, even zip archivers have a password protect option. If you're a whistleblower, you're going to be collecting data over long periods of time, not sending instant messages. You can use OnionShare (droid-ify) to create temporary TOR links if you really need to share a file quickly and untraceably.
