Multiple Russia-Aligned Threat Actors Actively Targeting Signal Messenger
I'll feel pessimistic like this, but then something like Tinfoil Chat [0] comes along and sparks my interest again. It's still all just theoretical to me, but at least I don't feel so bad about things.
With a little bit of hardware you could get a lot of assurance back: "Optical repeater inside the optocouplers of the data diode enforce direction of data transmission with the fundamental laws of physics."

Is Telegram an encrypted messaging app?
Yeah that hourly packet rate is called traffic masking or traffic flow confidentiality. It's offered in some instances of IPSec, but given that it's not exactly a common protocol in end-user products you don't really see it. I did implement it for my messaging system however https://github.com/maqp/tfc/wiki/Commands#14-traffic-masking

Signal's president vows to reject UK law on message scanning before encryption

Oh really, here's one I made earlier https://github.com/maqp/tfc :-)
>The whole OS can.
So how are you backdooring a bash script that comments out lines of code from Linux source before compiling it?
You lying to policy makers with "it can be done" mindset sound like a stupid con that burns a lot of money and time in the process.

Most secure and private (trace resistant) messaging app in market?
But as I said, it is way easier to install Pegasus on your phone or to grab / steal the unlocked phone from your hand, than break any of these. If you want absolute privacy, you should think about your physical security, and the trustworthiness of your devices before choosing the right chat app. Check the Tinfoil Chat for more information.

Testing a new encrypted messaging app's extraordinary claims
There is software that lives up to these claims, it's Tinfoil Chat. The article is correct about the necessary trade-offs: due to peer to peer transport (onion hidden service 2 onion hidden service) both ends of the conversation have to be online -- it at least spools the message waiting for the recipient to appear.
For hole punching and signaling that has to be done by third party, well, the third party is TOR
TFC then goes on to break out the encryption and decryption machines from the network and passes messaging over opto-couplers to prevent your keys from getting exfiltrated. Qubes qrexec could similarly isolate the components.

Apple advances user security with powerful new data protections
> If you want maximum security use an air gapped computer. But that won't let you send messages on the go.
You can, with some inconvenience, use optical diodes to transmit data from a trusted input device to an untrusted network device for transport over tor, and then push the received messages over a second diode to a display device that decrypts the messages, so that even if you receive an exploit/malware, there is no physical connection that allows unencrypted data to be exfiltrated.
