Combining dragnet surveillance with device hacking is intended in the design of both tools. Hence, State Department-funded Signal dupes you into handing over your identity as part of the population-centric mapping. In custody, your phone will be hacked when it is taken away if it’s important.

Jitsi, Jami, and Simplex are all, I believe, peer-to-peer and don’t require you to trust an intermediary.

Thank you for pointing that out, It’s been awhile since I’ve used Jitsi. I’m currently using Jami and liking it.
Love simplex, also good if you have children and they have a tablet but not a phone
