Is anyone here aware of some alternatives to mentioned instant messaging applications ? Alot of people keep mentioning Signal , however since it is US based I am not going to entertain it as a possibility.

I'd say Simplex, but check this comparison:

I do like the idea behind it. However, it is extremely buggy and freezes on iOS. It is extremely convoluted to add multiple devices as for now they can't be on same profile. And to top it oof, it does not seem to have a working export database feature for now.

When they fix those issues I do feel it has a great chance to take over.

The truth is I havent had much experience with it (well, didnt convince anyone to try it with😆), especially with iphones.

May I ask, does the export not work on iphone? It seemed to be working on my android.

It gets stuck on create passphrase to export. Even after re-install and an attempt with a new profile on the iPad.
