Alternative 3: Session PM

Session is a new breed of encrypted private messenger, built on a unique network of user-operated servers spread all over the world. With no central servers, Session can’t leak or sell your data. You don’t need a phone number or email to sign up — your Session ID can stay completely anonymous. And Session’s private routing protocols keep your messages secret and secure. No one ever knows who you’re talking to, what you’re saying, or even your IP address. 

Steps:

1) Download Session app:

Android: Google Play Session App

Apple: Apple Store Session App

2) Use Session QR code or ID below:

Session ID: 0503362edf33a2ac942b58ffd0b401e480b0080a51e2631abc41296de9df6b9b27

Alternative 4: Status.im PM

Status is your operating system for Ethereum.

PRIVATE MESSENGER

Send private 1:1, private group, and public chats without unnecessary middlemen in your communication. Status is a text app that removes centralized choke points from your messages for greater privacy and secure messaging. An encrypted messaging app with end-to-end encryption and privacy by default so nobody other than you and your intended recipient can view your messages – not even Status. Some consider it a secret messenger. You don’t need a phone number or email to sign up.

Steps:

1) Download Session app:

Android: Google Play Status.im

Apple: Apple Store Status.im

2) Use Session QR code or ID below:

Status.im ID: 0x041d128f50e84b66595a21569472cf42911b491de71db3057d3f8b8aa347b3e70a658e4e2688d338d04e44bbfed48deb4a41b853a9d8cb97bc7c594838c16cc068
