> It's actually instant messaging without any client hiccups or latency (looking at you, Signal).
This is almost certainly poor wifi / cell coverage, not Signal having "hiccups" or "latency." I routinely have real-time texting conversations with friends and I can see the messages are "seen" almost instantaneously, half-way across the US.
I've also never had an issue with voice chat. It's been flawless, and very high quality audio. As good or better than Facetime.
Also, unlike Briar, Signal is available for iOS, which is superior if you care about digital privacy, allowing users to disable a slew of data reporting (particularly location data) back to Apple that Android forces you to give Google.
