OMEMO has replaced OTR. Conversations.im supports OMEMO. Conversations.im and its developer produce great things for the community: * Conversations.im itself * https://snikket.org/open-source/ and https://quicksy.im/ are built on the conversations app * Hosted XMPP: https://account.conversations.im/ * Compliance testing: https://compliance.conversations.im/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
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... Source: over 1 year ago
Regarding audits, they happen regularly in the XMPP ecosystem, and if you are looking for e.g. a mobile client which has a good track record, I would suggest to look-up https://conversations.im/ (or https://quicksy.im/ since you are okay with contact discovery using mobile phone numbers), and perhaps https://siskin.im/ as an iOS equivalent.

Signal works the same but without the user tracking from Meta/Facebook. Many people use it as well but I'm surprised that a majority sticks to WhatsApp. Source: 5 months ago
A question I often get is "Well are my text messages safe" The short answer is... Maybe? Depends on what type of phone you use, your carrier, and a bunch of other factors. One way to avoid this is to use an end-to-end encrypted text service like Signal if that is a concern of yours. VERY IMPORTANT NOTES: Telegram and WhatsApp are not secure. The way to think of this security is that if is retained by a server... Source: 5 months ago
The linked page is on signalusers.org, but Signal's regular home site is https://signal.org/. I'm looking all over signal.org for some link from there to signalusers.org, as that would make me more relaxed about the authenticity of the latter -- i.e., that it really is run by the same people who run signal.org. Yes, maybe I'm being paranoid. But we're talking about an app whose whole purpose is secure... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
WhatsApp and Signal: Of course I’m going to conclude with the point to point encrypted communication apps Signal and WhatsApp. Most of our clients around the world communicate in these apps more than they make phone calls or send emails. Set up an account in each app and start leveraging the text, photo, phone and video features to have easy and fast conversations with your global contacts. See https://signal.org...
