Signal is a private messaging application designed to facilitate secure communication through end-to-end encryption. Developed by the Signal Foundation, which was co-founded by Moxie Marlinspike and Brian Acton, Signal allows users to send text messages, make voice and video calls, and share multimedia files while ensuring that the content of these communications remains private and secure from potential eavesdropping.
