XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
Depending on when you last tried xmpp you might have experienced the OTR hell, which was never really codified 100% and spawned subtle incompatibilities between clients leading to weird and nondescript errors that never got addressed. Nowadays the popular clients support omemo (https://conversations.im/omemo/), which makes encryption just work™ out of the box and without hassle. The only exception to this is xabber, who are apparently afraid of law enforcement destroying their lifes should they implement proper encryption and also feel no need to support it anyways: https://github.com/redsolution/xabber-android/issues/540

Beware of using Whatsapp to send messages with people inside Iran. Signal, Element or Session have higher security.
XMPP messengers (e.g. yaxim are distributed along lots of servers, so there's one entity who can decrypt your data. However, encryption takes a few extra steps (unlike Signal, which is automatic). Most people don't use XMPP apps, so it won't serve to contact most people.
