Signal provides a messaging platform that prioritizes user privacy through end-to-end encryption. This means that messages and calls made through Signal are secure and can only be accessed by the intended recipients, ensuring that not even Signal can read them. The platform includes features like voice and video calls, group chats, and encrypted stickers, all available without long-distance charges. What sets Signal apart from its competitors is its nonprofit status; it does not rely on advertising or user tracking for revenue, but instead is funded by grants and donations. This independence allows Signal to focus solely on user privacy and security, making it a preferred choice for individuals and professionals who handle sensitive information.
