If someone is telling you that Signal is not secure they are misinformed. It is absolutely secure, unless you use it carelessly like the inept Trump Administration and accidentally add a New York newspaper reporter to your private chat.
The competition is not even close. The best choice for security and privacy is always Signal. Not just for DM's but for Voice-over-IP calls as well. You might have even seen it on the popular hit TV series MR. ROBOT.
Apple Messages, formerly known as iChat and iMessage is not universal and can't be used on Android phones or non-Mac computers.
Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are compromised because Meta now allows its artificial intelligence to access and train on message data even though WhatsApp is encrypted. Facebook's privacy policy changed in December 16th, 2025 to allow all Meta AI to access all of it's subsidiary apps.
Telegram is used by way too many activists, protesters, and even hate groups and terrorists and it's not even encrypted. I don't want to be on the same network as ISIS or Al Queda or even MAGA for that matter.
Any exploits that have been done to Signal, also apply to other apps and cellular phones in general. For example, if a hacker manages to duplicate your SIM card or phone number, then not only is Signal compromised but your whole phone would be. That includes if you were using a different messaging app like Messages, Messenger, or WhatsApp or anything for that matter. If you are not securing your smartphone, you are not securing anything, especially Signal.
The rival Telegram went on a big campaign to misinform the public in 2024 that Signal was not secure so that they could try to take more of the market and users away from them. If you don't believe me you can go read these articles.

I already did my research and have been using Signal for years now. Check out these graphics below.
