WhatsApp Soundly Beaten As New Facebook Messenger Alternative Goes Live but FB Messenger is not most secure platform and neither is Google Messenger E2EE... But we still have Signal

Whatsapp has made a rather half-hearted attempt at disappearing messages more to save space than to be secure. Even their FB Messenger has done a better job as the article points out.

Google's own Messenger went live globally this week with the RCS messaging protocol but it is "not yet implementing end-to-end-encryption". Telegram still defaults to non-E2EE although it is feature packed especially for large group management.

The free solution is still available from Signal though. Out of the more "mainstream" messengers it is still the most solid secure messenger with features most users are  needing.
