      It is the sole messenger that doesn’t use identificators. You cannot get wrong.

          At the moment I think more than 3000 people. Young app. Needs it to spread.

                Oh, yet another messenger that pretends that it’s the only one that can prevent MITM. Abusive marketing, or plain misunderstanding of what e2ee means? Anyway I wouldn’t trust them just for that.

                  The code is open. You can check your own doubts.

                    Not my point. Their webpage says that others (Signal included) are not protected against MITM (in the case of Signal, there is a note saying “if the server is compromised”). Which is plain wrong.
