Signal is a very secure messenger that allows you to send/receive text, photo and video messages with high security, as well as audio and video chat with others. This application first encrypts all the information you send and then sends it; In such a way that even the company that produces it does not have access to the content of your messages.

Signal has more security features than other messaging applications. Not only does this messenger not encrypt messages, it also does not store any of your information except your phone number.

Signal characteristics:

The “end-to-end” encryption system works in such a way that the sender’s message is encrypted at the source and only the receiving user can decrypt it. In other words, no one except the sender and receiver will have access to the content of the message. In this encryption system, the messages are not stored on the servers at all and will only be stored on the sender’s and receiver’s devices. Also, using an encryption system in conversations eliminates the possibility of eavesdropping.
