## Signal Description
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 50 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.

## Signal Reviews in Australia

### ***** "Better then messages"
It’s a really good messaging app and way better then Apple message
-- Fredo_De_Frogo, 2025-01-04

### ***** "T H A N K S ! !"
Excellent program. Please continue to spread acquired knowledge, maintain a comprehensive warrant disclosure log (your fully complete disclosures well illustrate patterns of vexatious behaviour and intimidation and their many weaknesses) and keep making life difficult for the usual trouble makers.
 
This app is well worth celebriting 😉
-- Luke79au, 2024-12-30

### ***-- "Previous chat comments"
It’s really annoying when I create a group , post a piece of information like an invite, then realise I missed adding someone to the group and need to repost the invite (and other comments) to the group. Why can’t the new adds be able to see the original invite and comments prior to their add. Surely if the group is only .. a week … old, they should be able to see, or, the admin be able to give them access to view previous comments.
-- Ka sera, 2024-12-18

### ****- "Great App!!"
Great app I love it, but if it had the ability to be logged into multiple phones with the same account that would be even better!
-- zqawsxedcrftvgybhun, 2024-12-08

### *---- "Unusable"
Because it couldn’t cope with international numbers it locked itself into a verification cycle that was just the circle of death. Unusable.
-- government fail, 2024-12-06

### ****- "Call History"
App is great, however one aspect keeps bothering me. Disappearing messages is a great feature, however it doesn’t delete call history. After all messages are deleted there are a bunch of calls in the chat which have to be deleted manually every time to preserve privacy. Can you please add a feature for them to be deleted as well after some time, or not to save them at all. Thanks
-- JohnMcDougal123, 2024-11-20

### ***** "Signal’s release notes are the best"
In a world where personal information seems to be up for grabs, Signal sends positive…well, signals. Oh, and their release notes are top notch.
-- invenio, 2024-11-14

### ***** "Not for sale?"
Unlike Whatsapp, Signal has not yet sold your personal data to Facebook (Meta). My main reason for convincing all peers to drop Whatsapp in favour of Signal.
-- nabudon, 2024-11-13
