Thanks very much for the breakdown. I was totally unaware of the keys being stored in the cloud, that seems like a terrible idea for a privacy based messaging system.
Are there more secure alternatives?
Matrix has absolute shit adoption, but is open source and pretty secure. Then there is always Telegram.
Okay cool. Thanks. Oh I didn't even know telegram had encryption capability
Almost every chat platform uses encryption by default, including telegram. If you are talking about E2EE, you have to enable that manually for each chat.
