From Open Whisper Systems, “Privacy is possible, Signal makes it easy.
“Using Signal, you can communicate instantly while avoiding SMS fees, create groups so that you can chat in real time with all your friends at once, and share media or attachments all with complete privacy. The server never has access to any of your communication and never stores any of your data.
“Say Anything. Signal uses an advanced end to end encryption protocol that provides privacy for every message every time.
“Open Source. Signal is Free and Open Source, enabling anyone to verify its security by auditing the code. Signal is the only private messenger that uses open source peer-reviewed cryptographic protocols to keep your messages safe.”

snoden said its the only compagny we can trust
Hdie
It doesn’t work on tablets.
Fun fact: Open Whisper Systems also integrated their encyption protocol (Signal) into Whatsapp, so privacy-wise both the apps are on the same level.
> Requires your phone number
Instant no.
If you provide your phone number, you pretty much give your location away. Not good.
The sms thing is what put off my wife. She wanted to send me messages but doesn’t always have data turned on. she didn’t like the delay.
Does this app work with Alcatel phones?
Rather uncritical. Signal is better than a default SMS app but it depends on Google push service and makes no attempt to protect metadata. Probably Google has the social graph of all Signal users. Also Signal doesn’t federate and attempts to fork as LibreSignal have not been successful.
It just worked when I built Signal for Android using github source on Ubuntu. But you should install it from the app store. Now that I like I’m not sure I want to keep pulling in the latest source and compiling it. But don’t be afraid to build it, look at the code.
Having access to your phone number really breaks it for me.
There is also a chrome extension for signal, which works really nicely 😀
fucking retarded show how to use it i installer on bluestack that work like shit
Requires Google Play Services , email address and Mobile Phone Number so how is it private, Is it only the message that is private and not the sender or recipient
can I download it in my iPad?
You should also take a look at Ring which has recently become a part of GNU.
How to unregistered phone number from Signal app
And why is it different from Telegram?
My only complaint is: come on 720P? 😉
didn’t the warrant canary on the open whisper systems website get removed a while ago?
it would also be interesting if you could make a video where you talk about the recent news involving RiseUp, the disappearance of their warrant canary, and all the news about assage being missing
Been using it since I first heard about it. Probably 1 – 2 years now.
Requires Google Play Services so doesn’t work with F-Droid.
you don’t even show using the app… what kind of review is this
Lol, Telegram 2.0, might go viral for 2 days and then die off just like Telegram.
