Signal is a Windows software for sending and receiving private messages on the desktop. Like in Telegram, users are able to make voice and video calls without worrying about malicious actors intercepting sensitive information. Please note that a counterpart mobile application is necessary to log into the account.

Online communications

The main purpose of this program is helping you access the popular messaging platform from the computer. All conversations and contacts are automatically synchronized between all connected devices. It is possible to securely share various types of files as well, including:

Images;
Video clips;
Text documents;
Audio recordings, etc.

Users can configure outgoing messages to disappear after a predefined period of time, adding an extra layer of security. This is helpful for ensuring that confidential data is not stored on the device indefinitely.

Signal does not collect any information for targeted advertising or other purposes. It is owned by a non profit organization and relies on donations for funding. Moreover, the taking of screenshots is disabled to further enhance online security.
