Signal
Signal is another messenger, a huge benefit is that Signal is Open-Source and the end-to-end decryption keeps your data secure.
Signal is recommended by many privacy advocates like Edward Snowden and is moreover developed by an independent nonprofit organisation.
Data Flow
Privacy
All your messages are stored locally on your device, so the messages you send only exist on Signal’s servers during transit where they are end-to-end encrypted.
As long as your phone is safe, your Signal messages are safe as well.
Because your data are only stored locally you have to perform a backup of your messages if you want to keep them after changing your phone or before installing LineageOS. Therefore you have to create a backup-file.
