I have been cleaning my phone - removing Google Services, Google Account and replacing it with alternatives. Strangely, I do still have many very different messaging app. If I count correctly, there is Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram, Signal, Viber and also two local apps TakeUp and Mastadon. I am more and more returning back to SMS messages and normal encrypted e-mails.

What do you use most and is it normal, to have so many messaging apps and using them all for different people groups?

    wait, you’re actually using encrypted email? Is it for work or you use it with friends/family too?

    I’ve never received an encrypted email in my entire life.

      Encrypted like Proton Email - it means they don’t read my emails by default like Google or Microsoft
