Messages in iCloud are E2EE protected only if iCloud Backup is disabled or if iCloud Backup is enabled with Advanced Data Protection (ADP). Otherwise, Apple stores a copy of the encryption key, allowing Apple (or authorities with a court order) to access your messages.
Probably obvious, but messages sent over SMS (green bubbles) are not E2EE.
Telegram uses a proprietary encryption protocol called MTProto, so who knows if it can be trusted.

Signal is easy to on board folks to. Not a huge fan of the phone number requirement, but it’s worth the trade off for me. I used Session for a while, but media sharing was buggy. I’ve heard good things about Simplex, but the inability to have a desktop client was deal breaker for me.


Even with e2ee, I wouldn’t trust it since they use a closed-source, proprietary encryption protocol.

I use Firefox Focus/Klar as my default and if I want anything to persist, I’ll open it in Brave or Chromium.
Picocrypt is another one you could check out, assuming you are on Android: https://github.com/Picocrypt-NG/Picocrypt-NG/releases
Cryptomator is great and I use it on the desktop, but you have buy a license for Android and they only support a certain set of providers. Mine is not one of them. https://docs.cryptomator.org/misc/supported-cloud-services/
