Love Signal. Recently got my mom on it as well.

Check out our updated guide to Signal, which is as easy to use as your phone’s native texting app and which you should absolutely be telling your mom she has to download if she wants to be able to text you:

But go ahead technophiles who struggle with keeping it simple. App your face off with the same thing available during the 1990s.
It's a lot like the wheel. Manufactures insist its better yet, its still just a wheel.
Also, please help Jay??

We use it in a work environment as well.
I have to personally retain all my family's passwords in my mind for troubleshooting purposes, please no more apps.

The #Signalapp lets collect your metadata, the same as #WhatsApp
Seems that #Signal is working for Putin & Trump

Bye bye Signal.

I wish they actually gave a shit about privacy tho

May we have some assurance or guidance about privacy protection here based on today’s 404media story about ShadowDragon, when you’re able to share it? Thank you 🙏
I’m sure it’s an “us” problem since I know Signal is very popular. It seems like it has a weird tech barrier to entry.
What's the usp? (Learnt that from dragons den)
I would like to be able to convince my mom to use them too, she doesn't separate for a moment from WhatsApp and tiktok 😅
If this were a real issue, I would expect more reporting by a number of more reputable sources.
As it stands, this smells like disinformation.
All of my replies in this thread are now disconnected because they've blocked me. Obvs their call, but my posts 😢
Signal has already taken measures against group phishing.

I just uploaded it and signed up.
Everyone should have this app for complete privacy and encryption!
Cheers. 💙

The challenge is how we free users from corporate control and secure their data, but also make it easy to connect with *everyone* irrespective of tech provider.
I don't like it, prefer my screen wider as it was and I knew how to find my feeds.
Thanking you and/or your team in advance.

Still, too many don't want to give up standard text/don't understand the value of E2E encryption.
Whistleblowers are using it and musk isn’t liking it. Though at one point it seems the Signal
App did have x connections.

Signal app has been banned by Russia, China, Iran and Venezuela. A big plus, tells you alot!
I don't want or need secret encryption, I am not a spy!
If I want to contact a group of people that I may or may not know, Discord!
Not gonna happen outside the core group of paranoid nerds.

I know Signal i more secure than Telegram, but Telegram is high secure and for me its ok. The control of delete messages even full chats is great inTelegram and it has a lot of good features.A negative point: they are putting shitty stuff
The thing to remember is that Telegram is not banned in Russia, and Signal app is.
Which app would you say is more secure?
