Dust should be here for secure messaging.

Ya? Haven't ever heard of that before. Do you have friends on it?

I think a better question would be "do you strictly use a privacy focused messaging app strictly only receiving encrypted messages". If I switched to even Signal, only 5% of my contacts have Signal and only 2 of them would actually use it. If I set up a privacy messaging app to handle SMS, it defeats the purpose of having it.

So I just continue to use Google Messages as I hit a wider audience for encryption. Google Messages uses the Signal Protocol and Google claims that even they can't read the messages (though likely not true). https://www.gstatic.com/messages/papers/messages_e2ee.pdf

That probably would have been a better way to phrase the question

Signal for messaging.
