I understand that Zello is not FOSS, but their website claims everything is end-to-end-encrypted.

So, in short, should/can it be trusted? If not, are there any good FOSS alternatives that provide similar Walkie-Talkie like functionality?

I wasn't talking about whether or not to trust FOSS, I was talking about Zello (since it's closed source, which I originally mentioned). There might not be a FOSS alternative, I don't know since I have never needed a walkie talkie app. That's why I didn't mention one and only answered the first part of your question. You're right that it probably can't be fully trusted (because it's closed source).

Oh, apologies for the misunderstanding.
