Most of the answer you'll get will be:
a) It's not safe because the encryption was never (((audited)))
b) It's not safe because muh sores code
c) It's not safe because it requires your phone number

OP here, think a program has open/close source code. Does it change anything then ? Most of the guys here always say "if you connect internet it isnt safe" wtf i am not planing to make atom bomb or something. Just want to encrypt my daily conversations.

Just read >>59096559 OP, it has everything you need

On top of this, telegram, kik, whatsapp - have a page you can find from google for law enforcement to submit transcript requests for a username.

>Skype had a good crypto before Microsoft
Now it's an actual botnet using your upstream to host other people's calls.

If you want to have encryption, roll your own client, share your own keys physically with friends, do not trust anyone else to give you this. They will not.
