Wire - Simply the most Secure Messenger

Always-on end-to-end encrypted instant messaging, voice- and videoconferencing with up to 100 participants - future proof with MLS integration

It’s based on Signal protocol and it’s also open source. However, unlike Signal it doesn’t harvest phone numbers.

They don’t even bother reporting Signal usage, it’s a round off error: https://www.statista.com/statistics/258749/most-popular-global-mobile-messenger-apps/

Telegram has almost 1 billion users, half as many as WhatsApp
