If I HAD to use one, which one would be better? While Whatsapp is owned by Facebook, they have end to end encryption for the messages, while the metadata is not. However, on Telegram, nothing is end to end encrypted unless you use a secret chat which most regular people are most likely not going to use. I have a feeling Whatsapp would be better but I wanted to hear your thoughts.

There is a reason I said if I HAD to use those, because unfortunately people in the US are extremely lazy to switch to a different app as most people just stick with iMessage or Google/Samsung Messages, but if they were to have another app it would very likely be Whatsapp or Telegram, not Signal.

Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, I see the problem. I suppose getting new US friends is out of the picture too? Lol
