Signal private messenger android5/18/2023 So why exactly is Signal putting governments and concerned citizens ill at ease? Why is this app with just over 1 million Android downloads (which is literally nothing compared to Whatsapp's 1 billion monthly active users) making surveillance agencies nervous? Why are countries like China, Turkey and Iran against encryption in private chats?īecause if there's one thing that the Signal Private Messenger does exceptionally well it is to keep private encrypted messages completely private - there's no room for ifs and buts here. Earning even US whistleblower Edward Snowden’s approval, developed by Open Whisper Networks, a team of security-focused developers who believe in “making private communication simple”, Signal is truly making cutting-edge end-to-end encrypted messaging a reality for everyone on an Android, iOS device and desktop PC. And people in Egypt are forced to use less-private channels of communication, because the country's government insists on blocking Signal, a messenger app so amazingly good at keeping conversations private, it provides a level of watertight security that the likes of Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Google Allo can only dream of.Įven in June this year, Haryana-based RTI activist Sudhir Yadav tried to get encrypted apps like Signal banned from India in the interest of national security, only for the Supreme Court to dismiss his petition. People don't value privacy until they lose some semblance of it - often leading to catastrophes.
