Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Messenger is one of the most popular messaging services around, especially in the US, but it has its faults. Group chats, for example, are not end-to-end encrypted by default, meaning the company that runs it — Meta — can technically read your messages. And since Meta owns it, we can assume it collects a lot of user information that’s then used for targeted ads, just like most big tech companies do.
