Signal 100 Reviews

Superior privacy and security with end-to-end encryption, ensuring messages, calls, and group chats are highly secure.

Open source software, allowing transparency and independent audits of its encryption protocols.

Self-destructing (disappearing) messages enhance privacy by automatically deleting conversations after a set time.

Minimal data logging, including no IP address tracking, which protects user identity further.

Free to use with no hidden costs or ads.

Supports encrypted voice and video calls with good quality, including group calls for up to 50 people.

User-friendly interface praised for simplicity despite some critiques on intuitiveness for beginners.

Requires a telephone number to sign up, which may be a privacy concern for some users wanting anonymity.

Some users report occasional issues with message sending/receiving delays or call connectivity problems.

Limited file sharing capabilities compared to other messaging apps; some experience delays in message delivery related to this limitation.

Desktop version has historically had weaker security models compared to mobile versions, requiring caution when used on non-mobile platforms.
