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.

Like this app very interesting, and it does what it says and no ads it's the best app I had to send messages plus on top it all you can erase your messages as soon as you want.
★★★★★Asbeltrion· Jun 20, 2026
Most secure messaging app ever. Only downside is governments will start scanning your phone and therefore, E2E encrypted messenger apps will be useless. RIP privacy, it was nice knowing you.
★★★★★Ahmad· Jun 24, 2026
Great improvements over the pass year. I used to use signal before, then switched to apps with more features. But now I switched back to Signal after finding nice added features. Besides the high security and privacy provided by the app in the first place. I highly recommend Signal.

I want to use this app, but the desktop version is completely unusable for me. The setup QR code never loads, meaning I can't link my device or use the app on my computer at all. Disappointing.
★☆☆☆☆Joseph Bursztyn· Jun 12, 2026
Downloaded app for a secure text, and it crippled my phone. I had to take it to the fixity shop to get my phone back in operation. Total disappointment and frustration. Never again. If I could, I gave it "0" stars.
