Signal and WhatsApp are the only widely used messaging tools with end to end strong encryption (for text). That's pretty secure.

But the message on teams is already encrypted but admins can see it. Like most other things.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

SMS aren't encrypted.

Whatsapp is just messaging and not stable at that.
what do you think needs adding to teams?
I also have M$ Skype & yammer which I don't use much.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

The trouble is, is you can't really stop use of messaging apps like Signal or WhatsApp.
Yes, you can give people a company phone and dictate what gets installed on it. What then happens is people hand out their personal phone number because they don't want to carry multiple phones, they left one phone at home that day, they need to do something the work phone won't allow even though it's not against the rules, etc etc. Once enough people do that, the messages start to flow and control is lost.
The only way to stamp it out is to make it a sacking offence if non-authorised messaging apps (on non-authorised devices) are used to discuss parliamentary business but that will never happen.Comment

Oh the subject of the original topic. (While myself and a couple of others can give you the dirt from the Torygraph this is a summary of it.)

The journalist who leaked Matt Hancock's lockdown WhatsApp messages has said the public are only interested in what happened - not in her or the former health secretary's reputation."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Civil servants are employed by the state.
SPADs while employed by a minister are civil servants.
The civil servants can be sacked for using unauthorised apps for government work. So if MPs use unauthorised apps if the civil servants don't reply to them through it then it's job done.

If its government secrets you can dictate exactly what people use to communicate and lock them up if they ignore the instruction, though the threat to make them unemployable on government contracts usually works.
As you say for private industry you change the contracts to make it a sacking offence just as plenty of companies who service governments do.
This is well documented in the public domain its not rocket science.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
