About this app

Signal is a messaging app with privacy at its core. It is free and easy to use, with strong end-to-end encryption that keeps your communication completely private.


• Send texts, voice messages, photos, videos, GIFs, and files for free. Signal uses your phone’s data connection, so you avoid SMS and MMS fees.


• Call your friends with crystal-clear encrypted voice and video calls. Group calls supported for up to 40 people.


• Stay connected with group chats up to 1,000 people. Control who can post and manage group members with admin permission settings.


• Share image, text, and video Stories that disappear after 24 hours. Privacy settings keep you in charge of exactly who can see each Story.

Ratings and reviews

Great connecting app. Working well for what I need. We use this as the primary messaging app for church. It works great for forming and managing groups. You can easily make new groups, have someone leave the group, change several people if you want. Theie safety privacy concerns are great, but it does make backups a little bit more complicated. I just changed phones recently & I will say that the process of moving over to a new phone has gotten easier. M conversations moved over with me
