So what sets it apart from other apps? What does it bring to the table that other apps don’t? It looks like most other messaging apps and it provides all of the functionality of other messaging apps. If you know your way around any other mainstream messaging or chat app, you’ll find your way around Signal with ease. Signal also supports disappearing messages that self-destruct after a short time. You can make voice calls and video calls. You can send voice clips, photos from the camera or your photo gallery, and you can create conversation groups for group chats. You can type SMS-like messages and add emojis or stickers (sort of like hyper-emojis) to your text. If you like, it can become your cellphone’s default application for Short Message Service (SMS) and Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) messaging, or it can sit alongside those existing apps to give you another messaging option. Signal is also available as a native desktop application for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers. Signal is a cross-platform instant messenger application that is available as an app for Android and iOS.
