Signal messenger LLC, which works under a non-profit called the signal Foundation was formed after Acton left the company and donated 50 million dollars to signal. The app is widely considered the gold standard for encrypted texting today

 

You know exactly what’s inside the app

Because of signals privacy-first approach to every aspect of the app, and the fact that the source code (sort of like the recipe to create an application) is publicly available.

 

Everything is encrypted, including your GIFs

Secondly, the signal encrypts everything you could think of, including your profile photo, your voice, and video calls, photos, attachment, stickers, and location pins.

 

Securely backup your chats and keep your contacts on your device

Signal also doesn’t send an unsecured backup of your messages to the cloud where they can be read by anyone, including Google and WhatsApp.

instead, they are stored in an encrypted database on your phone and only you hold the key

 

You will get the most privacy-friendly features first

One of the signal’s oldest and most useful features is the one that lets you make messages disappear, something that only recently came to WhatsApp.

Users can set a timer of anything between 10 to a week and any messages older than that will simply vanish.

 

Stop other apps on your phone from seeing what you type

 One such feature is an incognito keyboard option that tells your keyboard not to learn what you type on the app.

Another setting on signal for android called ‘screen security’ will stop any app from looking into your signal window and see what you’re typing, which is really good.
