Surprised that no one has mentioned Telegram https://telegram.org/ so far:

Encryption, fantastic stickers, photo editor, tons of interesting channels, probably the best bots platform out there.

+ all mobile platforms and desktop version (as well as web based)

You can also find it's code on github.

The last I read was that Telegram was not secure. Is that not the case?

IIRC telegram secret chats are somewhat fine, all normal chat and group chat is insecure

Correct me if I'm wrong though
