Serious, do you consider Telegram to be secure and private?

Used it, seems good. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it was running behind on development... does it have modern features?
Note entirely true, because it is not entirely open-source. Part of their infrastructure (server side I believe) is proprietary, which is a huge issue for privacy reasons.
Session doesn't route attachments, but stores them on the server.
Sessions is a comp from Australia, and Aus has the most aggressive approach on e2e, so I think its a decent alternative, but not the best.
If I had to choose I would go for an app without cental server. I can assure you any app that has a server no matter how encrypted can be cracked and read by authorities if persistent enough. And this happened recently. Image below explains a lot for confused users.
Signal and Signal forks like Session are the best. Signal has proven cryptography and sealed sender means that they couldn't get metadata even if they wanted to. Signal also has an open source server and client. Wickr only has open sourced their cryptography library and Threema only has open sourced their client. The best is XMPP with OMEMO but that's pretty difficult for normal people to set up and it doesn't work as good on mobile. Just register Signal using a burner phone or Account activations via SMS | Receive SMS online | Smspva or a similar phone verification service.
Signal lately hosts its server with Amazon so I would be careful.
Use P2P with VPN for max security better.
So Jami, Tox and Briar should be the best ones? Which of the 3 is the bestest?santogrial said:

For extreme privacy i would go with Briar, limited user options, but for the sake of anonymity and privacy. Conversations is more user friendly.
Its full of scams, hucksters, terrorists, child P**N... etc... I'd hazard it's pretty 'secure/safe' - but is tied to a mobile number (physical or digital).
Somewhere there will be data-linkage etc.

What you list there may be the case for all anonymous and secure messengers ?!
