What do you like best about Signal?

I like Signal application the most out of all other applications that are used for chatting or sharing media, etc, because Signal is unique from others with its well-secured mode of sending messages. We get full privacy in our conversations and that is very important and beneficial especially when sending confidential information or media through messages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

There is nothing I dislike about the signal application, although its for mobile devices and requires us first to have the application used and installed on mobile before we can link it to laptops or computers, eitherways its okay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Signal to send important messages to colleagues and coworkers, trusting the messaging mode is well secured. I trust this application because it uses encryption end to end when sending and receiving messages or media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

Signal is known for end-to-end encryption Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

When in a chat, if you set messages to disappear, the other user can turn them back on suddenly.

I was going to send a password to someone, and they kept turning disappearing chat off as I typed my password. I eventually turned it on again and hit send, but they turned it back on right before my password was sent in the chat. It was frustrating to me that I couldn't control my own message and make it a disappearing message.

Signal should prevent that type of behavior, or at least put a cooldown and give one person complete control of the message they want to disappear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Signal for peace of mind. I know that I'm not going to be seeing ads for whatever products we discuss. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Signal?

Simple messaging application with no glitches or ads

The Dark theme at its best

You can also turn on or off SMS and MMS feature to utilize it as a default messaging application

The privacy policies and terms and conditions are safe and easy to understand

You can customize the appearance of the application by them, default language, and other options

You can even manage network data and storage from the app itself

And the linked devices option allows you to add a new device to utilize Signal in various devices with the same account and I have to mention that most of the social messaging applications fail to include this option hence we have to use it in a parallel space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Signal?

The only thing I don't like is Signal doesn't have Starred Messages option like Whatsapp, if that is available then no other apps can compete Signal and it is too good to use for communicating across countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Signal:

Very user friendly and simple to use when it comes for a very new user to start using social messaging app for business purpose

Every one should give it a try using Signal which also doesn't lag when we typing in longer messages

Also , it is very good for video conferencing and audio conferencing with friends or colleagues Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Signal solving and how is that benefiting you?

Mostly, I will use Signal to communicate with friends or colleagues via audio call or video conferencing while playing games and doing some casual work day to day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
