What's the best messaging platform? in c/[email protected]

I think this question has some sort of relativity. What is your threat model ? Are you trying to protect your data from the service itself, fromyour mom, from the police ? You want anonimity ? And so on.

There is no an ultimate answer to this question. For example, i'm using WhatsApp because it fits my threat model (messages are encrypted, metadata is not but for me is fine). Then, i use Signal with people that use Signal (where i live, 99% of people use WhatsApp).

I would never use Telegram since is not encrypted by default.

If i was you, i would buy a Google Pixel 8 (8a is cheaper than 8 and 8 pro). They all provide support for GrapheneOS, have 7 years of updates, MTE, and so on

It's possible to back up my Whatsapp chats without using Google accounts? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yes you can! Your offline backup is inside the app data (you need a file manager to access the folder). If you use a Samsung Device, i think you won't be able to see it unless you plug the phone on your PC.

can I connect a phone to a car without using android auto/apple equivalent? is there a good private way of doing this in newer cars? in c/[email protected]

Hi! One thing you could consider is using GrapheneOS which supports Android Auto without special priviliges!
