I would say Signal should not be slow on the things they are proud the most. SimpleX still better on this.

Signal sill implemented better than any other. They can’t link your username to phone number, the others can. So maybe other are faster on a superficial level, but the implementation is trash.

Try putting a Signal username and a SimpleX username in the same bio and see which one fits 😉

SimpleX all the way. For apps with phone number required I prefer Telegram.

Telegram offers no privacy improvement over Signal and many downsides

For privacy I only use SimplexX even Telegram secret chats. For everything else Telegram.

I prefer not using any messenger app that requires a phone number.
