Those using Android _and_ caring about control over own devices are 
strongly encouraged to follow the Guardian Project: 
https://guardianproject.info/

They like the UI design of Telegram, but are *not* happy with its 
technical design:

For cross-platform communication I recommend followiing the Debian 
project to establish federated XMPP andd SIP structures (aimed 
specifically at Debian developers, but since the federation is open any 
other organisation can use exact same structures and collaborate more or 
less directly with the Debian infrastructure):
