Signal Review

Signal is an instant messaging application that allows you to send messages, make calls and video calls with ease and for free. Founded in 2013 by a group of privacy activists – among which was Brian Acton, the founder of one of the most famous and used messaging apps, WhatsApp – and backed by the Signal Foundation, a non-profit organization devoted to protecting freedom of expression. Signal‘s purpose is to offer a safe chat experience: its users value the protection of their privacy and safety of personal data, which is often not regarded as a priority by some competitors. Through state-of-the-art end-to-end encryption, an encrypted communication system developed by the Signal Protocol, only the recipient will have access to the content of the conversation and the media shared.
