Curious what you use instead? Been looking for something that’s convenient to use, full resolution pictures and videos, desktop apps, etc. Sadly, WhatsApp is currently my leading choice with this news.
Family currently uses Google Chat and it’s pretty terrible. Buggy on iPhone and no desktop app.
Signal is a great alternative to WhatsApp. Images sent aren’t going to be full quality and will go through some compression of course, but the final sent picture is still going to be leaps and bounds over the garbage that WhatsApp sends. When going through old pictures on my camera roll, I can instantly tell what was sent/saved over WhatsApp compared to Signal due to just how pixelated it gets.

How about Signal?

I use Telegram, and I have heard some nice things about Signal.
These are the messenger apps I typically recommend:
- Session @session
- SimpleX @simplex
- Threema @threemaapp
Signal is also a reasonable alternative to WhatsApp, but their poor decisions have forced me to stop recommending their app.
