Personally I like to use Facebook to keep in contact with a collective group of people like family and old friends, and to be able to search for other people later on, but I do not use it for my primary communication, I use telegram for that! To my point is I don't I don't think Facebook should be shut down it's a great tool and resource for getting and maintaining contacts and friendships and then moving them later to your app of choice.

Wasn't the whole point of the signal messenger is that its private and good unlike some others like whatsapp. Doesn't it sort of defeat the purpose of that privacy when your using ios?
@@wellnormally9404 not really. Signal was born around 2010 with the name of TextSecure and then changed name in Signal between 2013 and 2015 (can't remember right now). Happily using it since 2017.
This is the main messenger I use with my family and I love it. No privacy issues whatsoever and the ability to delete messages just for me so people can't see it on my phone but the recipient still has them is just so good
Thank you for this vedeo you explained how to use it very well. I like knowing I can come back to your vedeo if I forget some step to do on it . Have a nice day
I just deleted my Facebook, Twitter, and slowly but surely deleting my Google account so a privacy app like Signal available across various operating systems sounds refreshing.
One issue with Signal (for Android) is that you can't send anything to multiple contacts without having to form a group. I understand this feature is however available on the iOS version. Hope they add it to Android soon.
I love signal very nice app, it just needs some polishing (interface like applying a wallpaper to a chat those little things) and there's some little bugs in it and just more customization options and the app would be perfect
wallpapers chat will come soon, Signal twitted about that a few days ago with other improvements. I've seen a loot of improvements since July 2017.. Jesus, at the beginning I remember I couldn't hear random audio files, they were randomly stopping. Or there wasn't a way to watch a picture and switching to the previous/next one by swiping left/right, you had to exit and search it in the chat. It was very difficult to use but I never uninstalled it, I patiently waited for the bugs to be fixed and I was happy :)
No, finally some showing how signal works and not giving a comparison to the other messengers. Two things still wondering: 1 the disappearing text vanishes even though it hasn't been read? Makes no sense to me... 2 does signal offer a status option like WhatsApp? Thanks for the video nonetheless!!
Hi AppOftheDay and chat, thanks for this video, but I'm confused (iOS user, have Snapchat, too). When I see this part of the video, 2:11, it sees to say I need the other person's phone number (or allow Signal to get it from my contacts) just to establish contact with them the first time. This is not true for Snapchat where our mutual phone numbers are hidden. *I'd actually need to have the person's phone number to establish Signal contact?* We can seee one another's phone numbers as we then use the app? I am not asking to challenge Signal's security of my phone number, rather I am asking because sometimes we meet people casually (members of my huge running and hiking clubs, a person one meets on a vacation, etc) and do not want to share a phone number even once since a phone number allows a person to know everything about you (address, DOB, family members, etc). Thank you for any guidance.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! Just a quick off-topic question: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
It's sad that we just now realised how important privacy is. BBM was offering everything WhatsApp could and more ! But it got discontinued because there wasn't enough consumers I guess even though it was free. Thanks for your review.
Can you use Signal Desktop in your PC without having your phone powered on? I mean like Telegram. Or does Signal Desktop require your phone nearby like Whatsapp? Thanks
I appreciate your tutorials. I have used them several times. I really appreciate this one about Signal. Question, I have an iPhone SE and I use the default message app. I do a lot of texting between family, friends, doctors, etc. If I download Signal will incoming texts know to go to the Signal app or do I also have to keep the iPhone message app? This is probably a very naïve question! Thx
I deleted WhatsApp last week! Signal is way better, especially the desktop app that unlike WhatsApp, it allows you to call or video call anyone. Signal's encryption is the best, and it has such good reputation, that WhatsApp itself uses Signal's encryption protocol. FB Messenger "secret messages" also use Signal's protocol as well, and Google Messages beta also added signal's encryption protocol last month. Signal's the way to go.
Wish you had gone into group account better. Can you have a personal & group account set up on same phone? Same number? How do you do set up a group account if a personal one is already set up?
Are the videos and pictures you take in the "new message" screen encrypted? Or would others have access to it if your system is compromised (does it store the photo on the phone, or delete it after it encrypts + sends?)
Thanks for the well produced guide. I might you have any thoughts on the history of Signal's founder being closely involved with CIA and NSA in article's such as the one from The Verge 'The battle inside Signal" Also, I'm wondering that even if Signal is "End to End Encryption" if traffic as traffic passes through Signal servers and provide the encryption and could or presumably do have the encryption keys, should we trust those behind Signal?
Hay got a question maybe youse guys can answer I have just received a work phone I don’t want to carry around two phone but I know the owner of the plan can go to the provider here in Australia and get a download of my last three months of activity messages pics and videos and all websites visited. The question is if I use signal on my work phone because you register with your mobile number will my work be able to gain access to my conversations some how or will they need the phone itself?
Wish you had covered the settings like how to backup messages, how to open it on web like web-Whatsapp, how to attach documents, and every feature that Telegram or Whatsapp has.
Thank for the video. Quick question for ya, how do you deactivate Media Download on iOS? Because what of 8 dont want to download a media anyway in a conversation? Thanks buddy.
How can I import all my messages from imessage (SMS) to Signal? I already have an account on Signal, but I'm ready to use Signal as my main messaging system.
Why is there no icon on my iphone for the Signal app? I go to apple app store, it says "open", no download (I believe i have downloaded it in the past). It does open and I'm on it, but the only way to get to the app is thru the app store?
Hi sir, I want to know that the number from which we want to send msgs to other persons, it must be in our phone or like wtsap we use it sim is on another phone and use signal in second phone. Is it possibpe
Can I check if I uninstall the application from my iPhone, when reinstalling back, will I lose the messages? Also, once reinstalled, will I be able to receive the messages that were sent to me in the period whereby the app is uninstalled? Then when I reinstall, the messages will be there? Do you get what I am trying to ask? 😅🙃
Can this be used in a remote photo session? I'm wondering specifically about sharing screens and getting "rid" of the icons that would block the full photo. Thanks :)!!
Ok, two questions, can you make long distance phone calls using WIFI like on WhatsApp free of charge anywhere in the world? And can you transfer all messages from WhatsApp to Signal, if possible
I had my mom install signal on her iphone, but every time I call her, her phone does not ring or vibrate at all, we went over the settings and everything is turned on. Any thought? Thank you
@@runnergo1398 umm... and? Everyone has to download the app, and sign up for an account. It’s never going to see mass adoption because of that. What we need is an “open source, non profit” social network that can’t get censored or shut down by for profit businesses based on their political leanings, not a open source non profit messaging app.
Ok I understand this . I'm curious if you've ever heard or seen something added or deleted. Meaning on my device I was chatting with them and they sent me a screen shot of me allegedly blocking them . Which I never did . If it's possible how did they do because they showed me that I blocked them and I never did . My God If you could how they did it I would appreciate your help
So, we are two people trying to find each other on signal but we cant share our phone Numbers, it seems you cant find each other just by the profile name? Or, how do we connect on signal without sharing phone numbers
Notifications not coming through while connected to wifi and the screen is off. As soon as I disconnect from wifi, I get the notifications. This is only happening with Samsung phones, my iphones do not have this issue.
From the past i do remember that integrated app called Trillian that captured the messengers Skype, MSN, Yahoomess. ICQ and i think googlebuzz aswell the contacts and phonelist. Now it looks like Signal has the exact same purpose like Trillian had. My favo messenger was... ICQ on desktop, but since it was hacked in the Nineties it died. Anyway thx for explaning.
I use the app on my computer. Its better to type that way. Thing is I can not for the life of me work out how to get contacts to show on my computer. I have tried the add contacts from the dialogue box but still nothing. I only see those I am already in contact with. I can not look at my contacts and attempt to entice them away for Whatscrap.
good job, now you should make a video about Telegram...but you'd need it to be twice as long and it would only scratch the surface of what it's got to offer.
Hi , I would like to know how I can create a broadcast group message . I would like people to receive my messages separately without having to make a group each time .
I uninstalled my signal messenger but I messaged my friend first before uninstalling it, is there a possibility for him to see the message I sent?? And I overthink why there is always only 1 check when I message him? Always sent but not delivered? what does it mean? Will he also see my sent messages?
