Think about the last time you logged into a social media platform. Chances are after you logged in you were asked to verify it was you and put in a security code or click a link to verify. Now think about every social media app you use this on and why do you do this? Security and protecting yourself in these digital times is important and very common- now think- do you have security on your messages? Your answer is that you most likely use the standard messaging app on your phone- so why change? I recently had the chance to try out the app SIGNAL. Signal is an app that has an easy to follow layout just like the messaging apps you are used to however- signal takes your security one step above the rest. Signal uses encrypted messaging- this means the only person who knows about your messages is you. Surely signal knows what I'm sending? Nope! Not even signal themselves can tell about the content in your messages. You make sure you're secure on everything else..why should your messages be any different? For me signal is a no brainer!
