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, stickers, 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.

Incredible app! It has a high sending limit to send very large file, very secure and easy to use. Would like to see the SMS support re-added maybe with an obvious warning that SMS messages will be unencrypted for those who like having an all-in-one app. I would also love to see an option like Session where I don't have to rely on google play services, even if just a little slower in notifying.

The only problem with Signal is that more people don't use it. It's objectively the best piece of software that is freely available for use to communicate with others on these little pocket computers that we've all decided are an essential part of our culture. But almost everyone chooses the worst choice possible. And those choices are often incompatible with Signal. If you are reading this review and don't use Signal, please use it. Your most rational friends will appreciate it.

I Love this app! It works well, and it is private so you know no one can get your personal info that you might have to send through texts. And it has Great features like editing a text you already sent, easy to save or forward pictures and videos, a lot of "personalations" you can do (colors, etc.). I do wish you could assign diferent "alert" tones for different contacts, so you can tell who is texting you without seeing it. But, this app is great! I Tried to donate but couldn't.
