I've used Telegram for years. It's super fast, on every platform, and secure (although some have raised concerns (see this article in Gizmodo). Just be sure to turn encryption mode on.

I heard they used this at Uber for discussing sensitive topics. Must be pretty secure. Also their founder always wears sunglasses as to never have her face photographed. 🤷‍♂️
