I never considered Telegram to be safe or private, but it was too convenient for semi-normies to get them to use anything else.

This is what someone recommend, but someone also commented that Session is likely compromised and a honeypot:

Briar "Censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging that bypasses centralized servers. Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Tor, with privacy built-in."

Session "Session is an end-to-end encrypted messenger that minimises sensitive metadata, designed and built for people who want absolute privacy and freedom from any form of surveillance."

XMPP The original 25 year old open-source instant messaging standard.

Settin up an own Matrix server with Element would also be great, but might be a bit too complicated.

You give your phone number. The sessions don't record (AFAIK) any of the data you send, but you're identified as using the service.

Credit reporting companies use your phone number to identify you, so it's easy enough to tie number to you.
