Caution, wiremin is closed source, there is no proof for any of its claims. The risk profile is even worse than WhatsApp, because there are not independent security researchers trying to tear it apart.
Wiremin keeps popping up here in gorilla marketing. It has no discussion on privacy tools.... All the mentions appear to be from the business creators.
I'm running it on a couple test devices. It sucks. It eats ram, it's sluggish, the UI is unintuitive. Add that to being closed source, and I won't use it for real.
