I honestly wouldn’t send private content over WhatsApp or telegram.
If the private photos you are talking about are of sexual nature I would advise against taking them in the first place. While the laws are improving around them to make distribution punishable( in some places ), you honestly can’t tell what will happen once you send it.
People can take screenshots, save it, take a picture with a different device, … Sure, some apps prevent it, but they can’t block external devices.
Even if the receiver saves the picture in a personal cloud archive he can still get hacked and lose it. Or somebody finds them on his device that he sent in for repair.
If you do decide to send sexual private images. Make sure you’re not identifiable ( face, tattoo, … ). If itnxould be anyone and it leaks, it still sucks. But at least nobody really knows it is you.
I have no idea what software I’d use. But definitely not something owned by meta or Microsoft/google/Amazon. I have reasonable faith in signal. And I suppose running your own matrix server works. While you can’t control what they do with it once received, you can at least be sure it’s scrubbed off your server.
While the person you’re sending them to totally wouldn’t do it right now. Always assume people are petty and will do it once you get in a big argument. Or sometimes we all have bad judgement calls and people are assholes.
If the kind of photos you’re talking about are non-sexual but just family photos and the like. I’d share the photos through a photo library. Like a photoprism you manage.
Note: I’m not judging. Just be careful who you send which pictures.
