WhatsApp alternatives

[rfc2822]

I don’t use WhatsApp since some years now and almost all of my friends have at least one other messenger; or I just use SMS/email in some rare cases.

My personal favorite is XMPP (clients: gajim on the desktop and Conversations on Android), because I think messaging is more than mobile messengers and I use it on the PC mostly.

I also use Telegram (insecure by default, but useful for groups), Threema (I like that it’s paid, so you know their business model; but push doesn’t work without Google Play services, so messages are late for up to 15 min) and Signal (most preferred after XMPP).

@rfc2822 Personally the most messenger/social media I like is telegram. Despite we cant say that it is social media for sure, but it is going to become sm!
