"Just get everyone in your life to move to ______ and that will solve all your problems"

A suggestion as old as time

it's one of the most secure message apps available.

messages are signed, encrypted and passed through servers, never left on the server. unless you were the intended recipient you will not decrypt it.

it's the truecrypt of instant messaging.

give me a list of messaging apps that stop attacks that leverage physical access.

use a better os that has encryption and kill codes if that's your concern.
