Signal, a non profit company that competes with applications like whatsapp, etc . Signal is also a messaging app but is not like other applications, it believes in legitimacy and claims that it doesn’t share any private information of the users. Signal has  strongly stayed against collecting personal information and promotes encryption of data. It’s highly committed to personal information. Signal, as a non profit company stands strong in between some of the richest apps like whatsapp and imessage. Meredith Whittaker has taken a stand and said that it takes a lot of money to develop and maintain an app like signal. She says that we can escape from the technology that uses our personal information only if we take a decision and pay for such products that do not use our private data. The app does not have your personal information stored on its servers. Not only this but the encryption is provided on group call, text messages and voice notes also. Signal is among the few apps that give us such guarantee of end to end encryption.
