Tails needs to come pre-installed with one of the Encrypted Instant Messaging applications for instant communication through the Tails operating system.

A few of the good programs that I would consider implementing are:

1. WickrMe
(partially open-source, Electronic Frontier Foundation has gave it solid marks)

2. WhatsApp
(owned by Facebook could pose possible security risks)

3. Signal
(fully open-sourced software)

4. Xabber aka Jabber/XMPP

Having a Secure and Encrypted Instant Messaging app pre-installed on Tails would revolutionize secure instant communication and the Tails operating system. Allowing users to chat securely in real-time.
