  • Signal ^signal.org↗^ - Free, open source, completely end-to-end encrypted messaging that lead by a non-profit.
  • Shelter ^f-droid.org↗^ - Use Android's built-in "Work Profile" feature to install or clone apps into an isolated space.
  • Simplex ^f-droid.org↗^ - Like Signal but for the more paranoid. Not as good from a UX perspective so I can't recommend it to everyone, but definitely just as good if privacy/security is your ultimate requirement.
