Revision history [back]

I have seen that here are some posts about different messengers, but most of them are a few years old and probably partly out of date. I have not decided yet if I'm going to install Whatsapp or not. Before I decide I would like to know a few things. A few years ago when I decided that I want to change from Whatsapp to another one when changing to Sailfish, I had Threema in my head, but now that I have checked the permissions, this app did scare me away.

Is there any messenger that fits to what I'm looking for? 1. Just a few permissions that are really needed. 2. texting, voice messages, able to send different files/pictures/videos, (maybe groups possible) 3. Easy to install & use for people with no/less experience to program

I'm also interested to know if it is possible to use Whatsapp, but don't give permission to a few things. I took a look at the picture of the permissions on the Jolla site: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203442828-WhatsApp-sovelluksen-Android-version-asentaminen-Jollaan Can somebody tell if the app still works if you turn off the following permissions? Camera, Location, SMS, Telephone. If I check in the Store, it's also saying that WhatsApp wants permission for fingerprint. Can that be turned off also without any problem?

I know this are a lot of questions in one post but they all have to do with each other and are important for me to decide.

Before I decide I would like to know a few things. A few years ago when I decided that I want to change from Whatsapp to another one when changing to Sailfish, I had Threema in my head, but now that I have checked the permissions, this app did scare me away.I'm not so sure anymore.
