"Signal's end-to-end encryption means that any sent message travels in a scrambled form and can only be deciphered by the end user. Nobody in between can read the content because they don't have the keys to unlock it."
"Signal goes further than WhatsApp on data privacy, making metadata such as when the message was delivered and its recipient invisible even to the company itself."
"For these reasons, Signal has long been a go-to messaging service for users particularly concerned about communications secrecy, such as people working in security professions, journalists, and their sources."
Signal, known for its end-to-end encryption, has recently been targeted by phishing attacks attributed to Moscow-backed hackers. German officials have raised concerns about the app's security, as similar attacks have also affected Dutch and American users. Signal's encryption ensures that messages are scrambled and only decipherable by the intended recipient, making it more secure than other messaging apps. Unlike WhatsApp, Signal is controlled by a non-profit organization, enhancing user trust regarding privacy. Signal is favored by those in security-sensitive professions due to its strong privacy measures.
