Wickr is/was one(or the only) privacy oriented chat app that didn't require your phone number or your phone book. For some reasons there is no replacement. All the "privacy" messaging apps want your phone number and phone book.

Briar is another anonymous, fully decentralized chat app. It rides atop Tor rather than reimplementing an anonymous network protocol like Session does.
