Signal works the way you would expect it to work. It allows you to send text and pictures, but it also treats links the way you would want it to. It allows you to create an ad hoc group of people to collaborate on a topic. It does all of this with end-to-end encryption. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For security reasons, all messages do not download to all devices. That makes perfect sense, but it sometimes means I need to go to a different device to see a certain historical message. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.


The instant messaging feature is good for contacting people immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The app feels outdated. The settings, colours and general look doesn't feel like a new app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Privacy of the service is at its best.
I like te ease of use and encryption of all the content os the messages (audio, image and video too), not only the text.
It’s fast to set up and it also has a backup feature.
The App is Open Source and anyone can see the internal code to check that everything is genuinely secure and encrypted, without cheating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some times notifications do not pop up and I’m not get notified when I receive a message. I’m on Android. Other friends also have this same issue.
Also not many people is using Signal at the moment, but I see the number increasing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Message histories are stored locally, thus felt more secure. Further, the data cannot be accessed by third parties. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user experience is not as good as other messaging platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

More secure than other messaging apps such as Whatsapp, Line, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Video calling experience has to be improved, and a more customized interface might need in video conferences.
Export file formats have to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the Privacy features and cross-platform support. Being open-source, it is easy to verify how the app exactly works. It is the most secure messaging app that I can trust without a second thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Message delivery isn't as smooth as some of the top messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger. If the texting experience would get a little better, I would replace all the existing messaging apps with Signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
