State of communication - or how messaging apps work these days

Quick summary of best, most used forms of communication I am faced with in the North American culture:

Text - sms messaging
Facebook messaging
WhatsApp
Telegram
Google hangouts
Skype

All the above have web version, mobile app version, group chatting, read receipts (some with less detail) and some have conference call with video options


What else to be covered? how to combine them? which ones do you use? how secure are each of them? only telegram (from what I can tell) is open source, does this matter?

Let me know in the comments below
