Hi - what is the safest messaging app and why? Line secret chat features on telegram but not keen on the forwarding message function seems to defeat the point

There's safety from an anonmyity point of view - in which case I'd potentially say Wickr. If something goes wrong, then you can delete and block and they have no way of tracking you.

But for personal safety and 'real life' situations, I would argue in favour of Whatsapp - sure, you will be giving up privacy, but there will also be a 'paper trail' back to anyone who causes undue trouble.

I would check what meta data is being scraped with each app. I can't imagine any will avoid the chance to scrape as much as they can from the user.

Good point but giving out number? Screenshots of photos sent? Screen recording?

Ideally we’d like disappearing photos with no chance of screen recording or screen snaps of photos etc. guess there is no one size fits all x

Not gonna happen, basically. It's incredibly easy to circumvent such protections. Some apps promise this but they're either lying or morons.

In terms of privacy and overall safety, WhatsApp.

Telegram got outed as not secure and the others have T&C’s that would make the Chinese communist party proud.

In terms of all round security and privacy Signal is the gold standard.

Definitely not Kik. I got hacked on Kik. Can't say too much about it coz it's an ongoing case with Cid and action fraud. Sooo many fake profiles on there and snap,
