What are the best ways to message with text and video from an iPhone to a Google pixel in an encrypted way? I just learned about signal but I’d love to hear some feedback from people who have used it. #asknostr #grownostr

Signal is a straightforward replacement for iMessage as far as I can tell. You can adjust the quality of pictures sent; it defaults to reduced quality to save data. Signal can also sync with desktop PCs.

Video as it's face-time replacement or just sending videos?

Like a FaceTime replacement. From research it actually looks like you can FaceTime from iPhone to android and android can accept it through a web browser

You can do private video calls through Signal but the quality is usually not as good as FaceTime.

Do you know of any alternatives that provide similar encryption?

Good suggestion. There are other options of course but the barrier to entry for Signal is so low that even my old folks will use it.
