Broken and support is silent – Wire • Secure Messenger Review

Had to travel across international borders and needed my phone so I deleted as many apps as possible just to be safe. Redownloaded this one and tried to log in and it asks for the verification code. All well and good except the message (which came thru clear as day in the past) is now indecipherable gibberish of incompatible text encoding garbage. Unreadable nonsense. Emailed support with the issue asking to either delete the account or help me get back in and got an acknowledgement they received it and a reminder that, not being a pro account holder, I could maybe hope that someone might get around to reading it possibly some day but not necessarily so don’t get my hopes up. They move from Germany (makes sense given what their govt just started imposing on tutanota) but they came straight to the heart of the five eyes and then suddenly the service goes to crap. Good thing it’s open source. About time someone forked this piece so we don’t toss the baby with the bath water.
