Unfortunately the Wickrme app is no longer available as of 31/12/2023.

Does anyone have any recommended alternatives?

Fucking rip. I'd suggest signal but it's not quite the same obvi. Uh, Session is also good.

Haven't tried Session, though it seemed like a good service, until I found it lacks perfect forward secrecy, which IMO seems like a bad decision. I think Berty seems interesting too, but it seems like it might take a short while before it becomes a relevant option.

Also not a fan of Session missing FS. So I replaced it with SimpleX, but it's quite a dead community. The app also feels like something beta, but I have high hopes for it
