## 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 United Kingdom

### ***** "Trustworthy texting"
Will never use WhatsApp - it’s dangerous really. Signal is safe
-- Mrscottye, 2025-01-03

### *---- "It's ok"
Apps ok but get invited here by scammers
-- longman18, 2025-01-01

### ***** "Signal"
Signal is amazing I love it so much
-- Loving to talk to my friends, 2024-12-31

### ***** "love this app 🫶🏻🌟"
i’ve been using signal for a year or two now, i think it’s a great app!! you can do lots of useful things on it such as:
🌟creating/posting a story
🌟making groupchats
🌟group calls
🌟turn on ‘disappearing messages’    function
i think signal is also safer than whatsapp, which is really good. the only thing i would say is that not many people use it, but once i got it, lots of my friends did too, and we all communicate on there now. hope this helps x
-- -hermionegrxnger-, 2024-12-29

### ***** "Security"
I work in Ukraine. I’ve been here for three years. This is my go to app for secure comes
-- Pedro2703 Charlie bravo Alpha, 2024-12-28

### ***** "Great"
Fun
-- 56 elvis, 2024-12-27

### ***** "🤞"
Privacy is best
-- ectas, 2024-12-26

### ***** "Screenshot Privacy/Protection"
Love that it’s easy to use but I have seen in several cases where private messages have been captured through screenshots without the other person’s consent. Maybe consider the option for people to be notified if a screenshot happens anywhere in the conversation, or allow the option for users to automatically block screenshots, including when the app is open in the app draw screen with perhaps a blackout screen. Having the option to do so rather than forcing it would allow a lot more freedom, control and privacy.
