Anything that’s fully end-to-end encrypted and trustworthy. So, Signal, iMessage, and ProtonMail (but only to other ProtonMail users) come to mind. WhatsApp and Telegram are supposedly E2EE, but I don’t trust them.
Yeah but i thought that if I put my gmail as a recovery email in conversations it will be used as a fucking recovery email, not to share messaging infos
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Conversations is just a client, right? So if your server or your friend’s server is run by or backed by Google, they have the messages.
XMPP is not end to end encrypted, so whatever server you use, unless you own it, will have access to your messages. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, you can run your own server or use an E2EE messenger.
Yep true
