        Both signal and molly are considered safe, a lot of apps use the same protocol as signal, most risk come from messages leaks before the encryprion happens.

        Unfortunately, I’m not aware if they did external audits, but both codes are available in github.

          At a user level, the biggest security compromise with signal is enabling notifications

            That’s a big one, you can disable it, but if the other person has it enabled there is a possible leak after decryption also.
