‘I will show you how safe Telegram is’
The fact that it locks you into using their servers, does not distribute on F-Droid (only Google Play OR an APK with an insecure update mechanism), and has a completely closed-source "abusive message filter" module server side, that could functionally be used for censorship, storing messages for future decryption, or any other number of nefarious purposes - we have no idea since it's not open source (https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server/blob/main/.gitmod...).
Additionally, you cannot distribute branded forks or Signal, and if you do fork it, your fork is not allowed to connect to Signal's "official" OWS (open whisper systems) servers - hostility to federation should be viewed with prejudice and suspicion at the very least, it suggests a vested interest in a single point of failure (or control), which goes against user interests.

"The Signal client is built non-reproducibly, so you actually don't know whether it's running the source code available on Github."
It’s actually the signal server that isn’t reproducible because of the abusive message filter that’s in a private repository. It’s clear as day here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server

How to copy a file between devices?
I am surprised to not see Jami ( http://jami.net ) mentioned here yet. It is a GNU project and is fully cross platform. I use it to send files and messages between my devices, as easy as Telegram or Whatsapp.

Have you tried any decentralized messengers?
Try Jami https://jami.net/! I'm kind of blown away by how well it works! I originally tried it about a year ago, but it was kind of a pain. My issues with it were fixed when they incorporated UnifiedPush. However, since iPhone will never have something like UnifiedPush, I wouldn't recommend it for iPhone users or people with many iPhone-using friends to convert.
