I can’t really tell you which one is the best, since I never used any of these (except for Session) for an extended period of time. Briar seems to be the best for anonymity, because it routes everything through the Tor network. SimpleX allows you to host your own node, which is pretty cool.

Wdym? The user experience is basically 1:1 the same as on WhatsApp
That should be easy, since I’d have to convince one guy to do so. Won’t happen, though
