Matrix or Signal only for me. nobody uses Whatsapp here in the states, sms is simply insecure in every way, and telegram has very suspicious roots imo, along with a lack of e2ee and a terrible ui.
signal is the most secure option and matrix is federated making it the most "open" option.
Telegram does have E2EE, just not in regular chats. Its secret chats are E2EE, as are its voice and video calls.
I also think it has the best UI of any of the messengers, personally. It's customizable and very polished overall, at least on Android. Very smooth/optimized while having loads of features and lots of little animations to make things flow nicely without getting in the way.
I do like Signal and Matrix clients as well, though I just wish Matrix had more of a user base.
