Signal

Image of a screenshot of news headline, saying, "WhatsApp is getting ads using personal data from Instagram and Facebook Forced Consent & Consent Bypass / 16 June 2025 Meta announced today that it also wants to introduce ads on WhatsApp, which will be based on personal data from Facebook and Instagram. This further integrates WhatsApp into other Meta services - an originally independent app, which initially was available for just $1 per year without ads or data usage. This also means that Meta is consolidating its social networking monopoly. EU law was actually supposed to prevent this."

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

We're ready for Microsoft Recall and the automatic screenshots it takes of everything on your desktop.

Signal Desktop on Windows now includes support for a new "Screen security" feature designed to block screenshots of your Signal chats.

Now on Signal Desktop: A brand-new selection interface that makes it easy to find an emoji, sticker, or animated GIF that’s perfect for the moment. Happy chatting!

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications. 8/

Signal is open source so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We constantly monitor security@signal.org for any new reports & act on them quickly while working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards. 7/

In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. 5/

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites. 4/

The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users. 3/

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: npr.org/2025/03/25/n.... 2/

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

Sometimes one way to say "thank you" just isn't enough, so merci, danke *and* bedankt 🇧🇪

The war on encryption is dangerous Government demands to access encrypted data via back doors will leave it vulnerable to hacks, breaches and theft

"We have ceded so many of the core operations of our lives and institutions to tech, we must recognise that strong encryption isn’t the enemy of security — it *is* security." - Signal President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for @financialtimes.com on the war on encryption

Signal is naast je telefoon ook beschikbaar op je Desktop en iPad.

support.signal.org/hc/nl/articl...

Voor extra privacy toont Signal standaard je telefoonnummer niet aan mensen met wie je chat. Je kunt een gebruikersnaam aanmaken in Instellingen, zodat mensen contact met je kunnen leggen zonder je telefoonnummer met ze te delen. Meer informatie:

support.signal.org/hc/nl/articl...

Signal ondersteunt spraak- en video-oproepen en spraakberichten. Groepsoproepen worden ondersteund tot wel 50 personen en we hebben onlangs een aantal verbeteringen toegevoegd, waaronder oproeplinks om snel en gemakkelijk een groepsoproep op te zetten.

Om het makkelijk te maken voor mensen om lid te worden van je Signal-groepschat, kun je een groepslink of QR-code genereren en die vervolgens delen. Klik op de groepsafbeelding om de groepsinstellingen te zien.

Er zijn talloze manieren om Signal naar je eigen gebruik aan te passen. Je kunt luidruchtige chats dempen, oude chats archiveren, belangrijke chats vastzetten en berichten markeren als ongelezen. Vervolgens kun je op ongelezen filteren om alleen die ongelezen berichten te zien.

Je weet waarschijnlijk dat Signal-berichten end-to-end versleuteld zijn, volledig privé tussen jou en de mensen met wie je praat. Maar Signal beschermt veel meer dan dat, zoals je profielinformatie, groepschatsinfo (groepsnaam, ledenlijst, hoe vaak de groep actief is) en meer.

A special welcome to all the new Dutch folks!

👋🇳🇱 Welkom bij Signal! Als je nieuw bent of een tijdje bent weggeweest, zijn hier een aantal dingen die jij of je vrienden misschien niet weten over Signal:
