Signal is one of the most secure messaging apps out there and is always leading the way when it comes to new features.
There is a world beyond WhatsApp and those who want more privacy opt for other applications. The best known is Telegram, but there is another that continues to gain in users and that has managed to convince even the European Union, This is Signal and its latest novelty serves as an example.
Messages that are deleted as soon as they are read are nothing new and WhatsApp has even added the ability to send images that can only be viewed once, but now Signal is taking another step forward with possibility to configure each message sent.
With the new Signal update it is possible to fix the time each message will be deleted, individually. This option may be interesting for security reasons or because you consider that it does not make sense for them to read what was sent after a certain moment.
Messages can be visible for a few seconds, hours or as many days as you want, then disappear forever. In addition, it is also possible to configure by default the time they will last, as reported in Android Police.
Regarding this measure, we point out that nothing guarantees 100% that the message will not be saved in some way, as if a photograph is taken from the screen. But in Signal they put all possible barriers and screenshots cannot be taken either. If you want to know more details about this application, in this report we point out some of its main features.
Despite these security pluses, Signal is a very easy-to-use messaging application, much like WhatsApp or Telegram if you just want to communicate with other people. The difference is that it implements more advancements than the competition when it comes to privacy.
