The most heavily protected messenger - what is it?
Greetings
Propagandists are frightening about the possible access of a narrow circle of people to personal correspondence in instant messengers. We all know that the "narrow" circle of people - all those who have such an opportunity with their Wishlist. As I understand it, all popular messengers store correspondence on their servers, but are there open source projects of the same level as all well-known Telegram, Viber and others?

There are p2p messengers - decentralized, as secure as possible. What about Telegram security and other things - no one knows what they have under the hood (on the server).
Any messenger where you do not control the server side can be vulnerable.
In my opinion, nothing is safer than a bunch of "your own jabber server + OTR / PGP on clients", in principle, cannot be.
Look at the sources and protocol specifications of the Signal messenger:

Network Security FAQ
You didn't say what you want from the messenger other than security? Let's take Skype as a standard, and if you want everything that Skype offers, plus security, then you will not find this. The closest user option to Skype is Tox: good video and sound, there is file transfer, but there is no showing the Desktop in the video stream (static screenshots are sent instead). And of course, Tox (unlike Skype and others) does not have any central server, users communicate directly with each other.
