7.9

May 3, 2024

• We told ourselves that we would never do this, that we wouldn't be like the other apps with their lazy release notes, but this update really does include "bug fixes and performance improvements."
More

7.8

April 24, 2024

• We added support for custom nicknames and notes for anyone you're chatting with on Signal, even if they aren't in your system contacts. Whether you're adding the missing letters in a lazy friend's profile name, or a reminder about where you met, notes and nicknames provide a convenient and secure way to jot down additional details about your Signal Connections — and they're end-to-end encrypted and protected by your Signal PIN so they can be securely restored if you lose your phone too.

Reviews of Signal

  • Critical 21st-Century App

    Hackers can get a hold of text logs and gather bits of identifying information about you. The world’s leading governments are aiming for a state of omniscience on every citizen’s activity and thoughts. Advertising companies want everything you’ve ever said so they can feed their predictive algorithms and sell their ever more detailed profile of your personal psychology to scammers and politicians who want to manipulate you. Our conversations can be used against us in ways that are hard to predict or even imagine. The right to communicate securely and privately is #1 in the Information Age. That’s why Signal messenger, which has proven time and time again to be the cutting edge of practical, user-friendly communications encryption, is my favorite app ever. Its also just a well-featured app better than any text msg app I’ve ever used. IMHO there’s no functional advantage the FAR less secure and private WhatsApp has other than its user base (lots of ppl use whatsapp to bc its a popular app others are on across the world). Signal’s use is growing and will only grow bc the developers have done an amazing job making a smooth job that keeps people safer at a time that we all should jealously guard our information.

  • VIDEO CALL HELP!!!!

    Hello, I’d first like to start off this review by saying this has been one of the best apps! I’d like to give a shout out and a big thanks to the wonderful people at Signal for doing such a great job!
    I’ve been using this app for years now and I’ve only had one complaint/issue, that is when using the video calling feature of this app. We need to be able to switch the main camera view from the one calling and the one receiving the call!!! as it stands, it’s been very frustrating that when making a video call the one making the video call has to be on the small camera view the one receiving the video call is the bigger portion of the screen. SIGNAL PLEASE make an update soon! And update this feature, we need to be able to as initiating video calls be able to switch the camera as the initiator of said video call have the main larger portion of the camera screen if we choose to switch to that, because it’s very hard when trying to share something via video call to know that is being properly conveyed in the video to the receiver due to the fact, the one making the video call has no option currently except to stay in the very small thumbnail portion of the screen! To the wonderful people at Signal I beseech you please make an update regarding this!!!Thank You!!!!

  • Absolute Privacy

    I got Signal after an LGBTQ doxxing scare a few years ago that forced me to eliminate all social media accounts across the board, for my and my loved one’s safety. I found Signal after carefully researching and vetting the best options, and hands down, Signal is the best. It’s used by major press for anonymous tips and government whistleblowers, it’s that secure and anonymous. Signal is non-profit org based, free, 100% private encrypted, no ads, no data mining. You can speak intimately with loved ones for support when you need it, and not worry about triggering inappropriate and invasive content filters and getting flagged by crisis bots that watch for keywords (Tumblr and Facebook come to mind with that). No sidestepping topics to avoid getting slammed with inappropriate and privacy invasive ads across the web anymore. No more having to misspell things to prevent an onslaught of ads across the web. Your information and content will never be used or sold. No harassment from strangers finding your profile and starting up on you like on social media. You control how findable you are. ~Absolute peace and quiet.~ It’s the first chat app I’ve experienced that’s been stalker and drama-free… and I’ve been using chat apps since the 90s.

    There’s audio calls, video calling, stickers* (you need to install them separately, for free -it’s quick and easy-, or can even custom make your own), and other features that you expect from a chat app.

    Definitely worth it.
