Signal Reviews & Product Details - Page 11

Whether or whether you examine the code yourself, you can feel secure knowing that Signal takes extra precautions to protect the privacy of your data. It encrypts all of your information and interactions at the most fundamental level. What this means is that your data is translated so that it's not stored in its raw form and immediately readable.

The user-id for the Signal app is your phone number, which identifies you. Even when the discussion is encrypted, you cannot remain anonymous. You are out of luck if you need to keep secret whoa you are speaking with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is most secure messaging app which is having most attractive inbuilt features such as disappearing messages and havifn the safety numbers for the security purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The major drawback is that it is not so famous so many of your contacts might not be available on signal . sometimes there are a few glitches in updates but it does not affect security Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplicity, strong end-to-end encryption (E2EE), open-source code means it is highly unlikely anything amiss is hiding. Public statements and publicly disclosed warrant responses all indicate no storage of metadata beyond phone number and last connection of that phone number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1 Need a way to connect to other users without revealing phone number. This is and always has been the biggest drawback. The vast majority of people use their real cell numbers creating an information security vulnerability for any contact with people you do not yet know and trust. If you use this messenger it will reveal the phone number you use to register to other users in any group chats or direct messages.

2 Need some kind of communication that if you use a keyboard that connects to the internet (For Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Dari keyboard translations for instance) those connections can be collected upon as THEY are not encrypted by signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any user on any social platform these days wants their information to be safe and not sold to anyone for any purpose. The best thing about the Signal is that this is an open-source app, so we can be sure about its data-sharing policies and its working. It has everything one needs in a messenger app, end-to-end encryption, free-to-use, and multiplatform support as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing much to dislike but shifting from other popular messaging apps, Signal feels not so user-friendly, and also the features like live location sharing and online notifications are missing, which by the way are not a big deal but having more features isn't bad either.
