In order to obtain all this, you need to use a tool offering end-to-end encryption and key verification. As most service providers (e.g. Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook) don't offer this service and can therefore read your chat record, it is a good idea to either switch to an alternative chat service that provides encryption by default, or to use software for encryption if you need to stick to those services. Take a look at the EFF's [https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard Secure Messaging Scorecard] to see how they rate various chat clients that claim security properties.
<br /> <br />
The standard for a secure two-party conversation is called [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Off-the-Record_Messaging OTR - Off the record messaging], and several popular chat clients support it, including Pidgin with OTR for [https://securityinabox.org/en/guide/pidgin/windows Windows] and [https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-otr-linux Linux], [https://ssd.eff.org/en/module/how-use-otr-mac Adium] for Mac, and [https://securityinabox.org/en/guide/jitsi/windows Jitsi] for all common desktop operating systems. The latter also includes secure audio and video conferencing. These clients can work with your existing accounts on Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc. and encrypt the conversation over their respective networks. This service is also offered alongside email to all [https://help.riseup.net/it/chat Riseup] and [https://www.autistici.org/en/stuff/man_jabber/index.html Autistici] users and is also offered by other grassroots servers like [https://www.systemli.org/en/service/xmpp.html Systemli].

Several chat clients are available as an add-on to your web browser, including [https://crypto.cat Cryptocat] and [https://mega.nz Mega]. Aside from that, several free messaging services offer similar encryption properties for messaging including [https://peerio.com/ Peerio] and [https://telegram.org/ Telegram]. All of the mentioned tools are available as open source software and publicly disclose the encryption methods they employ in their software.
