I've been working really hard to research and rank messaging apps by their privacy. The more green boxes the better.

I plan to turn PrivacySpreadsheet.com into a place for privacy data on everything from cars to video games. It's all open source too on GitHub.

Not trying to advertise, I just put a lot of time into researching all this, and I want to share it since I think others could benefit.

Didn't even include the default messages app that most Android phones ship with 🤦

I've updated the spreadsheet to include Google Messages, should be live on the site now :)

I don't think Google Messages is the default one tho? It's just called "Messages" on my Oneplus
