About this app
Signal is a messaging app with privacy at its core. It is free and easy to use, with strong end-to-end encryption that keeps your communication completely private.
• Send texts, voice messages, photos, videos, GIFs, and files for free. Signal uses your phone’s data connection, so you avoid SMS and MMS fees.
• Call your friends with crystal-clear encrypted voice and video calls. Group calls supported for up to 40 people.
• Stay connected with group chats up to 1,000 people. Control who can post and manage group members with admin permission settings.
• Share image, text, and video Stories that disappear after 24 hours. Privacy settings keep you in charge of exactly who can see each Story.
• Signal is built for your privacy. We know nothing about you or who you’re talking to. Our open source Signal Protocol means that we can’t read your messages or listen to your calls. Neither can anyone else. No back doors, no data collection, no compromises.
• Signal is independent and not for profit; a different kind of tech from a different kind of organization. As a 501c3 nonprofit we are supported by your donations, not by advertisers or investors.

Secure text that doesn't require an email address to sign up for a login. That's a win! The security comes first with this app, which means it is harder to do some simple things like switching phones, and impossible to do others, like using the service on multiple devices. This app is mobile first. Wish there was a mobile version of the desktop app, so multiple devices would work.

The app works as expected. The support for this app is lacking tremendously. The last couple of days for me have been a nightmare for me with regard to my phone. My screen stopped working, but the phone kept working. I was receiving signal messages from my contacts. I asked for help from Signal on how to delete my messages on my phone, and they didn't even get close to trying to help. Fail. I received zero support. If you do use this app I highly recommend that you delete your sensitive messages

Been using since March 2022 and it's been an easy, intuitive, safe way to communicate free of any noticable issues. As an Apple-to-Android convert a few years ago, I really appreciate having a messaging app again where I can react to specific text boxes. Phone calls have been exceptionally crisp sounding; texts are sent/received instantly (often message my partner in the next room and can hear the ding immediately). Overall I'm a fan!

What's new
★ The Linked Devices interface has a new look and lots of small improvements that make it easier to use. If you're in love with multiple devices, now your relationship status doesn't need to be "it's complicated" anymore.
