To enable this feature, just click on a user’s profile and make sure that Disappearing Messages is toggled on. One handy feature is the option to delete individual conversations after a designated amount of time. Signal syncs with your phone’s contact list to show which of your contacts also use the service. Once you’re set up, you can freely send and receive messages to and from other Signal users. You must also create a four-digit PIN code for security verification, but you can disable it later if you prefer. As part of the setup, you must enter your phone number and a code sent to your phone number to verify your identity. Mobile signal users must be running Android 4.4 or later or iOS 11.1 or later. How to use Signal on iOS and Android System requirements With Signal, encrypted conversations can only occur when both or all participants use Signal. Apple’s iMessage is only encrypted if both parties are using an iPhone. Both Telegram and Apple’s iMessage are also end-to-end encrypted, but Telegram’s encryption is not enabled by default but rather via a secret chat option between two users (not groups) bypassing the cloud. That’s the difference between Signal and WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, which also boast end-to-end encryption messaging. Unlike Signal, these apps still collect personal data for advertising purposes. Signal development is financially supported by users so it can operate without advertisers or trackers. Because Signal is also an open-source, peer-reviewed app run by an independent nonprofit funded by grants and donations, anyone with knowledge and expertise can review Signal’s program for flaws. If unknown third parties gain access, your messages appear in a code that they would be unable to decipher. Signal keeps people’s messages hidden even if their phones are stolen, hacked, or confiscated by police. The best grocery list apps for iPhone and Android in 2023 What is the Temu app?
