What do you like best about Signal?

Instant messaging has become a communication tool that we use often, let's call it SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Telegram and now ... also Signal. What I love most about Signal is the privacy and security in the conversations it offers to each and every user. With Signal you can chat individually or in groups, as you do with your usual application, ensuring that messages are encrypted, send messages that are deleted after a while, make calls to your contacts, whether voice or video, send gifs , audios… etc. As we see, Signal is a messaging application somewhat safer than those we usually use. Especially indicated for those who like to take care of their privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the advantages is the fact that to start using the mobile application, and it is necessary to verify the identity using a code sent by SMS. It is the phone number that will function as the user ID so that we do not have to take care of the security of the password. The program can be used as the default application for sending text messages. In the settings, there is also a menu that allows you to customize to your preferences, such as notifications or additional privacy protection in the form of a password lock or disable the possibility of taking a screenshot.
