Most of your communications on the internet are not private, meaning there is always someone unwanted that is listening in. The people listening vary from how you communicate online. For instance it could be a company, your internet service provider, or the government. With some of these listeners you may have no problem having someone listen, but I like to compare it to having your curtains open at all times. You may not be doing anything illegal, but you wouldn't want everyone to watch every single thing you say and do.
Signal is the only messaging app you should be using for the best privacy. This company only keeps track of two data points about its users. First is the creation of your account, and the second is the date and time you were last connected to the Signal servers. The proof of that can be found here. This is possible because of end-to-end encryption. What this technology is is that only the sender and recipient can read the messages sent between them. The most important reason this works is that Signal is open source. Messangers such as WhatsApp also claim to use end-to-end encryption, but because its closed-source, meaning no one can look at their code how the software works, the people cannot verify this claim and Meta could well be spying on you. The last reason Signal is the best private messanger is because of its new encryption algorithm. Signal has created an algorithm for encryption that is quantum computer proof. This means that state actors, such as the USA or China or Russia with access to lots of quantum computers, cannot crack the encryption key making your conversations even more secure.
I'll briefly touch upon XMPP. XMPP is a messaging protocol that is widely used. It's especially popular on the deep web. XMPP is like email. alice@lapdog.gov can email bob@cup.gov just fine, but a WhatsApp user cannot message a Telegram user. This is also a good option, but it requires a bit more effort to work. It's even more effort to set up your own XMPP server but that is not necessary since there are many public XMPP servers where you can register and talk to other users. For best anonymity use a xmpp server that is hosted on the onion router (tor). For ensured privacy you may want to host your own xmpp server, though that requires a bit of technical literacy.
