The DoD recommended apps are Signal and Wickr .
Surprising isn’t it
Although to be far those have both been around for a while

Remember, of course, that Wickr has been owned by Amazon since 2021.

That’s probably why it is recommended by the US government. They like things they have control over.

Why not telegram?I got corrected- ReversalHatchery ( @ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org ) English11•1 month ago
Because in most cases it isn’t encrypted, when it is it severely reduces functionality, and it doesn’t even use a crypto alg that’s widely approved of by trusted crypto experts?
I hope you are joking
Telegram has strong ties to the US government. It isn’t encrypted by default and has a closed source system.
