1. Signal

Signal is free, has strong encryption, and works on all mobile platforms. Like most other messaging apps, Signal is really simple to use. It also offers voice and video calling, so you won’t miss WhatsApp.
Signal includes desktop installation files so you can use the app on your computer as well as your cell phone.
Every message is encrypted, so only the sender and receiver can read them. Messages are completely unreadable to hackers. Signal uses open-source encryption, which allows experts to test it and find bugs. This makes the app even more secure.
Users can choose to let messages disappearby setting a time interval for automatic deletion. This guarantees privacy, even if someone else has the access to your phone.
Signal doesn’t have animated emojis.However, you can import your device’s emojis into the app.

2. Threema

Additionally, you can connect to people using an 8-digit Threema ID instead of a phone number, further protecting your privacy. You can verify contacts with unique QR codes.
Threema provides end-to-end encryption for all message types, including texts, voice calls, shared files, and group chats. It even encrypts your status messages so no-one can keep track of what you post. Messages can be read only by the sender and the intended recipient.
You can securely use Threema in-browser. Like WhatsApp, the app offers formatting features, as well as sending locations and files. Unlike WhatsApp, users can create polls and leave “like” feedback on individual messages. You can even hide particular chats and password-protect them.
