Can someone give me a quick recommendation for an encrypted #chatApp that is suitable for legal discussion and allows group chats? Voice chats a plus but not strictly necessary. Ideally runs on #Linux #Android and #Windows with #iOS an added bonus.
I know about #Signal and if that's good enough just tell me. Otherwise any info is appreciated.
I don't know enough about these things for my paranoia to calm down. And I just realized I don't know what hashtags to use to get the help o need.
Not really cross-platform. It does not run on Linux, if the user does not also happen to have Android or iOS.
There seems to be an unofficial workaround using "signal_cli", but I didn't try it yet.
Did you read my complete post "...if the user does not also happen to have Android or iOS". Maybe that changed, but when I tried to use their desktop client some years ago, it asked me to do sth. with my Android/iOS Signal app. Which failed, because I don't have Android/iOS. Did they drop that strange requirement?
UPDATE: Apparently not yet đ https://functional.cafe/@loke/116805840728621620
@[email protected] @[email protected] Based on OP's description, Signal is indeed the right answer. The one case where Signal might now be sufficient is if you need to support users connecting without having a phone (the computer application needs to pair with the phone). But, if you are in that situation you'd know it.
