Governments in most countries have made the switch to the Signal messaging app a few years ago, as it absolutely takes no data from you, which means, whatever you share, whatever you speak, is all visible only to you and the recipient. Signal has no access to what you communicate on their platform.
To confirm this fact, we opened the Signal app on the Apple App store, and under the app privacy section, what we saw is that the only piece of data that Signal can collect from you and your contact info. No media, no chat history, nothing at all.
With all this mention of an end to end encryption doing the rounds, you may be wondering as to how the Signal Messaging App actually accomplishes this feat, and in this article, we are going to explain exactly that.
When you see the term ‘End-To-End’ encryption, it generally means that when you send a message to a contact, the message is only visible to the two of you. For years, the messaging service was also privy to the conversations we were having, and this data was then used to spam us with ads that were tailored to each user based on their topics of interest, their conversations, etc.
The Signal Messaging app, however, is different. When they say an end to end encryption, they actually mean it. This means chats on Signal are only visible to the two parties in question, with Signal having no access whatsoever.
