Millions of people use signals every day for free and instantaneous communication anywhere in the world. Send and receive high-fidelity messages, participate in HD voice/video calls, and explore a growing set of new features that help you stay connected. Signal’s advanced privacy-preserving technology is always enabled, so you can focus on sharing the moments that matter with the people who matter to you.
Say anything
State-of-the-art end-to-end encryption (powered by the open-source Signal Protocol™) keeps your conversations secure. Privacy isn’t an optional mode — it’s just the way that Signal works. Every message, every call, every time.
Go fast
Messages are delivered quickly and reliably, even on slow networks. The signal is optimized to operate in the most constrained environment possible.
Feel free
The signal is a completely independent 501c3 nonprofit. Development is supported by users like you. No advertisements. No trackers. No kidding.
Be yourself
You can use your existing phone number and address book to securely communicate with your friends.
Speak up
Whether they live across town or across the ocean, Signal’s enhanced audio and video quality will make your friends and family feel closer.
Sound familiar
Choose custom alerts for each contact, or disable noises completely. Simon & Garfunkel wrote a hit song about it in 1964, and you can experience the sound of silence whenever you want by choosing “None” as your notification ringtone.
Picture this
Use the built-in image editing features to sketch, crop, and flip your outgoing photos. There’s even a text tool so that you can add more words to the 1,000 that your picture is already worth.
