About
Signal carries messages, calls, group chats and files with end-to-end encryption by default, and its protocol is open and widely reviewed. The Mac app pairs with the phone rather than standing alone, which keeps the identity anchored to a device. It is run by a non-profit, with no ads and no data to sell.

- We also added a convenient shortcut to open your system settings on Windows if you try to join a video call and Signal doesn't have permission to access the camera. Now it's easier to see what you need to do so that people can see you.
