    I believe it is centralized but it is certainly an alternative to WhatsApp. My understanding is that it’s encrypted and privacy centric.

  Yes, encrypted chats packetised over SMTP layer.

  Smooth as silk for a year and a half.

  Send pics, voicemails, files, videos, and video-chat(via Jitsi integration)

  Arcane-chat app does location sharing too.

    I’ve been off of WhatsApp for about 7 years. My only communication options with everyone else are phone calls or Signal, and for those that will not use at least signal, we’ll, you can always call me.

    I have arcane chat, but only 1 friend of mine from church uses it with me.
