Good. Another point to be made when my friends push me to install bloated spyware just to plan a pizza party.

Use Signal.

Unless you are the secretary of defence, in which case you probably shouldn't use signal
Or just call, email or txt.

Signal is only as secure as the device it runs on. Cell Phones are not secure. They are blackboxes and probably track you and may have built-in backdoors (only to be used to catch 'real' criminals), etc.

The idea that you can turn a device like that into some form of secure communication platform by installing an app is not realistic.

Yeah, but the location of your next pizza party probably isn’t a state secret either.
It is if the party's in the Situation Room at 3am.
