It’s based on Signal protocol and it’s also open source. However, unlike Signal it doesn’t harvest phone numbers. https://github.com/wireapp
minus-squareISOmorph@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-23 months agoI find this site useful to compare messengers. I would trust Wire a tad more because it’s hosted in a country with stronger GDPR regulation, vs Signal being hosted in the US. For my needs, XMPP with Omemo has been unbeatable for a long time
