Edward Snowden says it will compromise your privacy.

Then, Google said the app would have end-to-end-encryption in “Incognito Mode” and store messages only for a limited time. However, when the app was released to the public, it did not use end-to-end-encryption and reportedly stores user messages indefinitely—which law enforcement could access with a warrant.
So, what messaging app should you use if you’re worried about privacy? Snowden says the best messenger app is Signal.
