About Signal Private Messenger

Signal is a messaging app built around privacy, published by the non-profit Signal Foundation. Every message and call is protected by end-to-end encryption through the open-source Signal Protocol, and it runs over your phone's data connection instead of SMS or MMS.

Highlights

  • Encrypted messaging for texts, voice notes, photos, videos, GIFs and files.
  • Voice and video calls, including group calls with up to 50 people.
  • Group chats of up to 1,000 members, with admin controls over who can post.
  • Stories in image, text or video form that disappear after 24 hours, with per-Story privacy settings.
  • Open-source protocol, with the source code published on GitHub.
  • Non-profit and independent, funded by donations rather than advertisers or investors.

Good to know

Signal is free on Google Play and offers optional in-app purchases. It uses mobile data or Wi-Fi to send messages, so turn on Wi-Fi when sharing large videos or files to save your data allowance.
