I don't want WhatsApp & I avoid the 'stores, so it's F-Droid options for me...

Any opinions on Jami?

I'm also seeing XMPP mentioned in the comments, so I might look at that a bit more...

I found SimpleX Chat to be a fairly decent alternative without phone numbers.

How, in 2024, are people still using TEXTs??

There are so many apps for encrypted messaging, even fricken WhatsApp.

How do people still use text messages

It's an American thing.

Signal or WIRE.

When the article about end to end user encryption messaging platforms mentions neither I have to question why it’s even an article.

Signal or WIRE.

Session is very good and doesn’t require a phone number (like Signal).

I don’t believe Signal requires a phone number anymore
