Who owns the Signal Messaging App?

However, the most fundamental question that comes to mind, before we use any new software is – “who owns this product?”

A quick search online will tell you that the Signal Messaging app is owned by the Signal Foundation, and while this may be enough for an answer, there is more to it than just a name.

The real brains behind the operation are Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Action.
