Hello, I've searched the decentralized secure and privacy oriented messaging apps and decided to share with XDA family.
Briar (https://briarproject.org/) - A messaging app that uses peer-to-peer technology to create a secure and decentralized network. It allows users to send text messages, photos, and files.
Tox (https://tox.chat/) - A decentralized and encrypted messaging app that allows users to send messages, make audio and video calls, and share files.
Ricochet (https://ricochet.im/) - A peer-to-peer messaging app that uses Tor to provide users with anonymous and secure messaging. It allows users to send text messages and share files without revealing their identity.
Session (https://getsession.org/) - A decentralized messaging app that uses blockchain technology to provide users with end-to-end encryption and anonymity. It allows users to send messages, voice notes, and make voice and video calls without the need for a phone number.
Element (https://element.io/) - A decentralized messaging app that uses the Matrix protocol to provide end-to-end encrypted messaging, voice and video calls, and file sharing. It allows users to join public or private chat rooms and create their own communities or networks.
These apps are all great options for those who value their privacy and security, and want to keep their conversations secure and private. Give them a try and let me know which one is your favorite!

Hi,
I have developed a small app, which will turn your mobile in to a SMS gateway (Incoming and Outgoing). Actually I have built this software for one of our web app, which send SMS on user registration or when there is any bill due.
Bulk SMS from web interface
Advance group handling i.e. create multiple groups with 1 million members each
API support (for outgoing and incoming SMS). You can integrate this gateway with your website or desktop application to send SMS on trigger basis. Our API is platform and language independent, therefore you can use it with any programming language like JavaScript (node.js, jquery), Ruby on Rails, PHP, ASP.NET, ASP etc.
Two-way SMS i.e. incoming SMS processing. Check the response rate of your campaign.
Missed Call Service
Delivery Reports
You will be charged only for delivered SMS.
Post-paid billing by your carrier.
Your brand, your number.
Add multiple numbers (SIM/Phone) to build a large cluster.
Send SMS even on DND listed numbers if, they are registered with you.
SMS queuing (i.e. if your mobile can not connect to internet to fetch the data than we will queue the messages till it gets a connection.)
Runs as a gateway i.e. it will work in background on your mobile without interrupting your day to day tasks.
Full control on message sending.
Application can be downloaded from market://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.znisms.bulksms
Once you downloaded the app and registered an account just reply to the welcome mail and I will add a lifetime license on your account (it's free for one month only for a normal user) as my thanks to XDA community from, which I have learnt a lot.
API Details
<Sorry, Not allowed to post links>
Parameters:
userid: ID created on ZNISMS.com
apikey: 32bit API Key (provided by ZNI)
sendto: Mobile number on which message has to be sent.
message: URL encoded message. Max 160 characters.
device: device ID from, which you want to send SMS, in case multiple devices are registered with us.
Please note this application (while running) consumes battery at very fast rate therefore it is recommended that you keep your phone plugged in while using this app.
Login from mobile.znisms.com to manage groups and send SMS.
Feel free to ask for features whatever you feel useful for your app or service.
Hi everyone
Looking for suggestions for an instant messaging app which has the following features, in order of priority:
- Invite basis adding of contacts (not add all contacts through phonebook like Whatsapp but through username or pin like BBM)
- Voice calling
- Simultaneous multi platform support - Android and PC (so you can message from anywhere like Telegram or Viber)
- Ability to send pictures but preferably any file
- Video calling
I've not been able to find one which does all of this. I'm open to using my own server too if that is an option. Skype has all of these features actually and was the closest, but it never works its strange.
Thanks!

The Internet was designed to be a free network. “Don’t be evil” is the formal corporate motto of Google.However a subjective good from Internet institutions can't guarantee Internet freedom.What the true freedom? The true freedom is assuming all the participators are evil, get rid of all the participators capacity for evil through architectural design.
Apps often used to deliver sensitive data or used for personal and corporate communications, so the data stored by the service provider should be encrypted end-to-end, There are many App messaging applications like Line, WeChat, KakaoTalk, and many more, but they are not end-to-end encrypted messengers. Time is loudly announcing the need to shift to some alternates who provide end-to-end encryption for communication between two devices and respect your Privacy. There are a number of solutions available includes for privacy like, Telegram offers end-to-end encryption and have a 'Secret Chat' feature, that self-destruct messages after the conversation, Sure spot allows you to send and receive text messages, pictures and audio clip with end-to-end encryption, Threema use end-to-end encryption and gives you all features like text messaging, image sharing, and voice chat as well, Text Secure and Red Phone also provides end-to-end encryption for messaging and voice calls respectively. Red Phone allows you to upgrade a normal call to secure call whenever it senses the possibility to fulfill the requirements.
Therefore we have developed a complete decentralized, third-party End to End encrypted communication APP.
What is “a complete decentralized” concept?
IMAP/SMTP are standard communication protocol for retrieving and sending emails from mail server, our APP users communicate via the protocols, as if they are sending emails.
What is “third-party End to End encrypted communication”？
Since we are using zero-server solution, the developer themselves can't read the communication information from users at all. We encrypt the E-mail communication. The advantage of third-party encryption is no one can read APP user's communication information without permission, include APP official, operator, E-mail service provider and so on.
Why “APP”？
We used smart phone longer than sitting in front of a PC. We hope to develop a 100% free of charge future-proof secure communication app that is convenient and suit for long-hour usage.
After completing the APP, as long as there is user, nobody include us can prohibit this product from being used. As in nobody can prohibit the use of email protocol. Furthermore there will be no server deployed to manage this APP. It enables free flow of APP in conformity with the spirit of free Internet environment.
freedom is only an illusion. Your never free, I'll never be free, no living thing can ever be truly free, as every action is determined (or can be seen as determined a posteriori) by various factots. So, as the Internet is constructed by humans, logically it won't be free as well.
Stop talking about freedom and give us a secure App
this is not meant negatively.

Needs to be idiot proof, lightweight and versatile. Good luck.

Millions flock to other messenger apps as fears grow over Big Tech.
SignalSignal uses Open Whisper System to automatically end-to-end encrypt all conversations.
Encryption keys are stored on users’ phones and computers, minimising the risk of them being spoofed. You will also be notified if any of your contacts’ encryption key changes.
Users can verify each other using either a passcode of numbers or by scanning a QR code, which means Signal holds almost no data about you.
The app does not store metadata, logs, or information on its users. It also does not store a record of your contacts, conversations, locations, profile name, avatar, group memberships or group titles.
Your chats do not get backed up by default, but you can choose to back them up to a secure cloud if you wish.
There is also a setting which allows you to receive “sealed” messages from non-contacts with whom you have not shared your profile, an option that hides your IP address, and a self-destructing messages option that disappear completely after a set time.
Telegram
Telegram uses its own end-to-end encryption service called MTProto. However, it is not entirely open source.
Its default cloud chat messaging system is not end-to-end encrypted, with chats stored on Telegram’s servers and backed up to a cloud. This means Telegram can gain access to your messages.
However, it also has a secret chat option, which is encrypted. Messages sent through secret chat can only be read on the device you sent them to.
BatChat
BatChat is a private & secure messaging app with end-to-end encryption which provides the highest level of data security.You can use it FREE to voice or video call families, friends, colleagues anytime and anywhere without worrying about data leakage.
