WhatsApp is encrypted end-toend so Mark Zuckerberg theoretically can’t get his peepers on your messages

AWeirdly, given what he feels about Meta, Guru would recommend WhatsApp. It’s encrypted end-to-end so Mark Zuckerberg theoretically can’t get his peepers on your messages directly, it’s simple to use, and it’s pretty ubiquitous. Use the chat lock feature to password protect super-personal chats.

If you don’t want to share your phone number, Telegram is a good option, and rival Signal is testing username-based sign in too – though bear in mind that both have developed an iffy reputation because their encrypted nature means scammers love ’em.
