YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. - eviltoast

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”

This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍

    As many others have said already, I loved signal until they ended sms support. I’m not going to have two separate messaging apps. Especially when 90% of people I know won’t use signal and don’t care about encryption. I just use the Google messaging app, which in my opinion is way better than Samsung’s app. I enjoy rcs support and as I understand it, there is still e2e encryption.

    That being said, if I’m doing anything illegal I’m going to force the people to use signal or something safer. As much as I love Google, I’m not going to trust them to keep me out of jail. Nudes would probably be the most sensitive thing I’d trust Google with.

    Oh and I dont mind the Facebook messenger app if you use the secure mode. Hate Facebook though, just the messenger is ok.
