The competition for the most secure instant messaging tool has been running for years. It re-surfaced this month when WhatsApp announced it has completed implementing end-to-end encryption. Curiously, in security research circles, this has resulted in endless debates between WhatsApp and Telegram. Very much like Emacs vs Vi, everybody has a (strong) opinion, but there is no general consensus. ;)
I think we can agree that Signal, WhatsApp, and Telegram stand out as the most secure messaging solutions - thanks to end-to-end encryption or Perfect Forward Secrecy, for example. EFF's scorecard summarizes the situation quite well.
