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 no one else, including Signal itself, can read or listen to them. The platform includes features such as voice and video calls, group chats, and encrypted stickers, all available without long-distance charges. Unlike many tech companies, Signal operates as an independent nonprofit, funded by grants and donations rather than advertising or user tracking. This commitment to privacy and independence sets Signal apart from its competitors, with the goal of providing a secure communication service for individuals and groups who value their privacy.
