And receive unrelated spam? No thanks. While emails and texts are fine, I 100% would not trust linked in with push notifications
Who sends you personal messages on LinkedIn? Personally, I don't even trust LinkedIn to have an app installed on my phone. But I haven't received even a single spam notification from any of the major chat platforms.
The EU is planning to require big online messaging services to be interoperable. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/24/22995431/european-union-d... This would solve it. Then you could simply use a single app. This is a political thing. So, vote for it, talk to the politicians.
I don't see how this is possible if you also have E2EE. Great example is email encryption via PGP. It exists, it's used (rarely) in some cases, but it's so poorly implemented to the point of being useless unless
I’ve seen this service recommended by some people - https://texts.com/ I haven’t used it myself but might be what you’re looking for.
> Texts charges users a monthly subscription to use the app. This is the _only_ reference to the pricing on their website. I'm not signing up to the app just to see what the pricing is, it's baffling they don't include that information on their main website.
For professional needs, I'm also at a loss. I have Outlook, Slack, Signal/texts, Jira notifications, Confluence notifications, LinkedIn, MS Teams... and then Zoom, Google Meet, and Webex but these are at least scheduled. I never come across anyone using WhatsApp, Telegram, or Facebook/Messenger professionally but I'm sure it's coming and will be a joy.
I have seen people happy with Beeper[1] but I'm neither willing to hand over my keys, nor self-host it.

For personal needs, I settled on a single email account (Google Workspace) that pulls emails from all my other accounts (acts as an email client) plus Signal which also handles texts. As for people who use Facebook/Messenger, WhatsApp, or Telegram, I just text them. For professional needs, I'm also at a loss.

Why should this be an issue at all? It's my account, I should know the encryption key & algorithm. Any open source app can then implement this.
The EU law linked does not actually recommend anything specifically, just vaguely states interoperability being a goal.
Certain apps will have certain functionality. Unless you're willing to constrain the functionality it's not really possible.
Right now everyone could already use email which supports encryption. They don't, though.

The pricing was undecided since we're in private beta, just updated the FAQ.

Good for you. I get dozens a day.
