📍 XChat
• Uses end-to-end encryption (E2EE) as claimed by the platform — messages are encrypted between sender and recipient so that outsiders can’t read them. 
• But how strong or transparent that encryption actually is isn’t clear yet. Some security commentary suggests the implementation might store private keys on servers and might not include the strong protections found in apps like Signal (like forward secrecy), and the platform itself could technically read your messages under legal pressure. 
• This means technically encrypted, but it may still have metadata exposure and could be less private than you expect.
