Secure messenger Signal beta testing video calling

seems like everyone is out to get in on whatsapps business....
 
In most circles it is considered the most secure messenger application out there due to its open source nature and donation based business model. The one neat feature is that it replaces your sms application and then alternatives between sms and signal depending on what the contact support.

The first thing that sets Signal apart from WhatsApp and Allo is that it is open source. The app’s code is freely available for experts to inspect for flaws or back doors in its security. Another thing that makes Signal unique is its business model: There is none. In stark contrast to Facebook and Google, which make their money selling ads, Open Whisper Systems is entirely supported by grants and donations. With no advertising to target, the company intentionally stores as little user data as possible.

Signal has become the darling of the privacy community, recommended—and apparently used daily—by no less than Edward Snowden himself.
