Most people have facebook and instagramm on their phone which could be already seen as "chatting apps". I don't use them for chatting.

I use

1. WeChat

2. WhatsApp

3. Threema

4. Frozenchat, a Jabber client with OTR support

Don't have signal yet.

Ah, and I can "chat" via Text message too :-)

1. Clearly anecdotal evidence

2. correct

3. Multiple countries? You would need a court order from Switzerland. I am not even sure they can access your messages if they wanted to.

4. Irrelevant because it is a client to an open protocol. Which client you use does not matter. I just named mine.
