Signal Is Asking People Around the World to Help Iranians Access the Encrypted App

Quicksy Gajim Dino Conversations.im Beagle IM
  1. A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.
    By definition there's no "default" app because no single entity controls the whole ecosystem nor has the authority to declare that one is above another :) That aside, there is an official compliance suite, though, that at least one (often more) apps per major platform passes. Then it depends on your use-case. If you want something "mobile-first" that'd be a signal alternative, Conversations.im/Quicksy.im on Android is there, with Siskin as a good Apple-land counterpart.
