Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region, and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
Its very user friendly, definitely the most comfortable secure messaging app out there. On the downside, i cant switch between my work phone and my personal phone, which is disappointing. Another gripe i have is that theres no obvious gif support on the web application, and on some computers gifs dont work at all

Been using this app for a few years now. We would have moments of messages not going through or not giving notifications. It's been getting worse over time. Often times you have to open the app to get notified, which defeats the purpose of notifications. But it's also intermittent. I can get notified of a message and 5 minutes later, app opened, and get nothing. Looked at the fixes, nothing helped. Some were ridiculous. Decided it's too much effort to continue. Time to look for a replacement.

I love the options for privacy and customization. My only issue so far is with messages sometimes taking minutes to hours to deliver. I live in a remote area, so the phone signal is spotty, but using Wi-Fi doesn't seem to improve things. I haven't found a setting to ask the app to prioritize Wi-Fi, and don't know if it has one, but that would be a handy option for those of us in rural areas.
