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 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.

Video issues

astrrix2009 on

I love the Signal app however the latest updates seemed to have messed with the ability to send a video. Previously no issues and 100mb no problem. Now I cannot even send a 50mb video. Tested WhatsApp and iMessage and no issue with sharing.

A few things

webercoder on

Nice app but seems very opinionated when forcing certain features. Would love to see the following: * Do not remind me to turn on notifications if I already said no. Same with verifying my PIN. * Allow me to sign up with an email address instead of a phone number and disconnect the phone entirely from the program. * Make is so I can use the macOS desktop app without connectivity to my phone. Would rather not take Signal everywhere with me.

Signal is not privacy focused any more

Last update in May was "Smile even if your camera is off". So, when my camera is off Signal can view what I am doing. This is one update that I won't install, and shan't use anymore.

Frozen on iPad - unusable

Poor reader on

Signal works fine on my iPhone but since the last update it is frozen on my iPad. As I use the iPad daily this is inconvenient. I’ve searched the FAQ and support but no information is available for this issue. Suggestions?

App security

Krokus 99 on

New user hier, wondering if it’s possible to get a PIN rather than having to use face ID to lock the app which I’m strictly against. Otherwise, the app works well so far. I’ll add another star for a PIN code, thank you.

Invalid number

CMagic97 on

I deleted it for temporary storage space, then reinstalled it. I had to register my number. I put everything in correctly and it says it’s invalid. When I press ok, it’s stuck on a never ending screen that says verifying. People online said to tap continuously when it says it’s verifying so I can redo the number. That doesn’t work. Support was useless. They sent me an image that had a red rectangle in it and the support person said for me to tap in the area of the red box. What the hell is that going to do?! I decided to reply, that doesn’t work. Support never replied back. Fix your damn bugs Signal!

Great App

Decerning on

Good sound lots of options very good thank you

free total on

This app is wonderful just it’s missing some features that would attract a lot of users. Such as being able to pin messages in a group chat as me and the boys have a meme only group chat and a pinned message for rules would help a lot. When inviting new people to a group they cannot see previous messages, that would be a great feature aswell as you already have disappearing messages. When an administrator changes the background it would be amazing if it was visible to everyone. thanks heaps

Reliable and secure

Have had only excellent experiences using this compared to very mediocre WhatsApp or Telegram.
