While looking for an app I stumbled upon this one. I followed much of the “messenger wars”, but I never heard of this one before. I know it’s Chinese but on paper it is pretty good:
- E2EE
- no phone number signup
- FOSS
- serverless
I tried it and it works well. Seems to have all the things people like but I never heard it mentioned before, any thoughts?
It says on their website that Zangi isn’t open source…
As long as the app is not open source, they can claim anything without being true.
“No Registration No Data Collection”
Requires Google Play Store which contains a lot of tracking (thanks Google) and “requires” you to have an account at Google. And with “require” I mean you can get pass Google’s shit with Aurora Store, but that shit doesn’t always work properly because Google is trying to block it or something.
