Most Messaging Apps will promise you the moon in terms of security and privacy, but the fact remain that they have your email, your identity and even your phone number.
We seem to have no choice but to trust what they are saying Unfortunately, almost every messaging service out there is there to make money, so I hate to break it to you, that means they are not giving you these services for free. So are there options where you can claim complete anonymity? Surprisingly there are a few gems.
Session
Session is an open source, end-to-end encampted messaging app that is focused on confidentiality and anonymity unlike unlike mainstream apps like Whatsapp, Signal or Telegram It does the NEED AITEGRAM It does the NEED AND PHON Number, email id, or any id for that matter. When you create an account, a random 66-character alphanumeric id is created and for all purposes this is your chat id. It supports one-to-one and group message with support for multimedia files. It is also super easy to install and is available on almost all platforms. Getting an id is effortless, just go to the website and download the software and you will get an id. The drawback is that if your id is ever leaked it would be a problem to recover or secure as there is no 2fa. However, if you are careful with your id, this program offers the most anonymity.

Simplex chat
Simplex uses no identifiers at all, not even random ids like session. Instad it uses temporary pairwise anonymous identifiers which are specific to each connection. A Temporary PairWise anonymous identifier is a short-live, random “name tag” used only only you and one specific contact. It’s deleted when the chat ends or the contact is removed. You get a unique tag for each person you talk to and they can’t be linked. This means even if someone learns your id in one chat, they can’t trace it to other conversations, making it much harder to track or link your activities. Your chat data is stored logally and you can run it via encrypted internet for more privacy. While this is a great option, it’s more of a nuclear option because it kills a lot of the social features. It is also not as simple to setup as session, not to mention the project is still a work in Progress and the UI and Features are not very polished.
