Open Whisper Systems

This is open source coding at its finest. The high-quality messaging function is perfect for Android. You can send whatever group, text, picture, or video message you need to send without SMS or MMS fees. Every message is end-to-end encrypted. You won’t need to remember any special login info, either: you will use your phone and contact info. It’s free to use and doesn’t include ads due to donations and grants.

Telegram for Android

More than 100 million active users have turned to Telegram for Android in just two and a half years. Telegram promises strong encryption using a combination of 256-bit symmetric AES encryption, 2048-bit RSA encryption, and Diffie-Hellman secure key exchange. What’s more, you can add a little fun to your messages with photo and video editing tools and an open sticker/GIF platform.

Wickr Me

This is a secure messaging app for Android with free end-to-end encrypted text, video, picture, and voice messages. Set the amount of time you want to hang onto a message before it automatically terminates. Your Wickr ID is anonymous to those who lie outside your network, so you don’t have to worry.

Gliph

Did you send something you regret? With Gliph, your deletion happens on both sides of the server so that deleted message is gone. The service doesn’t track or follow you. Turn off the password reset option with Gliph’s Lockdown™ Privacy Protection and no one will be able to get into your account except for you.
