Signal 8.2.1 – FREE Encrypted Messenger

Signal is an encrypted messaging service for instant messaging, voice, and video calls. The instant messaging function includes sending text, voice notes, images, videos, and other files. Communication may be one-to-one between users, or for group messaging.

The application uses a centralized computing architecture, and is cross-platform software. It is developed by the non-profit Signal Foundation and its subsidiary, Signal Messenger LLC. This software is free and open-source.

The official Android app generally uses the proprietary Google Play Services, although it can work without them. Signal is also distributed for iOS and desktop programs for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Registration for desktop use requires an iOS or Android device.

Signal uses mobile telephone numbers as identifier for users. It secures all communications with end-to-end encryption. The client software includes mechanisms by which users can independently verify the identity of their contacts and the integrity of the data channel.

The number does not have to be the same as on the device’s SIM card. It can also be a VoIP number or a landline as long as the user can receive the verification code and have a separate device to set up the software. You can register a number only on one mobile device at a time. Account registration requires an iOS or Android device.

Features:

Share Without Insecurity

State-of-the-art end-to-end encryption (powered by the open source Signal Protocol) keeps your conversations secure. Nobody can’t read your messages or listen to your calls, even developers of this app. Privacy isn’t an optional mode – it’s just the way that app works.

Say Anything

Share text, voice messages, photos, videos, GIFs and files for free. Signal uses your phone’s data connection so you can avoid SMS and MMS fees.

Speak Freely

Make crystal-clear voice and video calls to people who live across town, or across the ocean, with no long-distance charges.

Make Privacy Stick

Add a new layer of expression to your conversations with encrypted stickers. You can also create and share your own sticker packs.

Get Together with Groups

Group chats make it easy to stay connected to your family, friends, and coworkers.

No ads. No trackers.

There are no ads, no affiliate marketers, and no creepy tracking in application. So focus on sharing the moments that matter with the people who matter to you.

What’s New in version 8.2.1:

• Now you can send view-once media messages from Signal Desktop too. Individual photos and videos that are sent as view-once messages will be automatically removed from a conversation thread after they have been viewed.

What’s New in version 8.1.0:

• Signal secure backups are here! Now you can choose to enable automatic end-to-end encrypted backups so you’ll never lose a message when you get a new phone or reinstall Signal. You can back up all of your messages and the last 45 days of media for free, or you can pay a small monthly fee to get 100 GB of storage to back up every attachment. Tap on backups in your Signal settings to get started. Thanks to everyone who helped test this feature during the beta period!
