I personally would LOVE a Proton Messenger app! Trust is so important these days and over the use of using Proton apps for many years now, that trust in Proton is 10/10. A messenger app of some sort would certainly fill a gap. At the very least, have Proton evaluate alternatives.
My perspective?
Whatsapp - Don't like it as it is owned by Meta and I don't trust Meta. They are also collecting a lot of data about its users.
Telegram - They hold encryption keys on their servers which means someone could decrypt your messages. So no, don't trust them either.
Signal - Data collection (what is is used for?) Have to use your phone number.
I also have it on good authority from law enforcement agencies regarding the aforementioned messaging apps. What I heard does not give me any confidence in them and so I use them sparingly.
