Anyone who is interested in OTR (off the record) and peer to peer encryption, Wire is not for you.

Please see https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/software.php for suggestions which might be reliable as of today.

Everyone else who feels good about keeping their messages safely stored for later inspection, use Wire or any other chat client that "looks beautiful", "is pure" and blends yt videos nicely into your feed.

EDIT: Do not take my comment as a critique or sarcasm against Wire. There are different audiences for messaging apps and it's important to understand if you are the one before being negative about privacy policy and encryption.
