Private messaging applications for review

Signal

This is an open source software but sense it is open source that means that the source code can be
viewed by anyone including hackers to learn how it works. Still because it is widely used by a number of
companies because of its military grade encryption employed and the number of security consultant
that have worked on it , it is also a good choice.

account.

choice for anonymity https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Kakao+Corporation

well but with all of the open source software applications the code is open for anyone to view and get a
good working understanding of its inner workings. Still it comes highly recommended.
