We heard that Signal is in the news. Because of the long-time fans of the app and the wider, more secure messaging, we believe it is our duty at Engadget to ensure we know how to use the software correctly.
Signal Download
Signal is available on Android and iOS, as well as nearly all desktop operating systems, including Windows and MacOS. You can download the app by clicking on one of the links provided above or by searching for «Signal Messenger» in your app store. Once you have installed the app, proceed to set up an account using your phone number or an alias.
Note: If you want to install Signal on a work phone or computer, make sure to get approval from your employer; Some organizations, like the US government, actively discourage or even ban the app.
Create a New Group
Fantastic, you’ve downloaded Signal! Now, to create a group chat, follow these steps:
1. Tap the compose icon at the top of the interface.
2. Select a new group.
3. Add participants by selecting their names from your contacts list or entering their username or phone number.
4. Give your group a name (and a profile picture if you want).
5. If the content is particularly sensitive, you may want to enable disappearing messages and set an expiration time.
As you add new participants to a group, make sure to verify that you are adding the right people.
Some Useful Tips
I would also suggest using Signal’s permissions feature to limit who can invite people to your chat.
1. Open the group chat and tap the group name to view the chat settings.
2. Scroll down and select permissions.
3. Under «Members can add,» only allow administrators to add members.
One way someone can join your group chat is through a group link or QR code. For added security, you can set it up so that administrators must approve group link invitations before the invitee joins.
You may know exactly who you can trust, but that person in the hallway might not!
If you tend to easily mix up names, Signal allows you to assign nicknames to users. After all, nobody wants a case of mistaken identity.
1. Open the group chat and tap the group name to view the chat settings.
2. Under «Members,» select the individual you want to assign a nickname to.
3. Enter a name. You can also add a note, such as the person’s profession description, if you need additional context.
Nicknames are only visible to you, so don’t be shy about using them.
How to Remove Someone from Your Group Chat
Even the best of us can make mistakes. Fortunately, Signal makes it easy to remove someone from a conversation thread.
1. Open the group chat and tap the group name to view the chat settings.
2. Under «Members,» select the individual you want to remove.
3. Tap Remove from group.
How to Delete Messages in a Signal Group Chat
So, you followed all the previous steps, added someone who shouldn’t have been there, and shared information that a relative stranger shouldn’t have seen. Let’s be honest, you’re a border case. But there’s still hope if you catch the mistakes in time.
1. Tap and hold the message on your mobile (or hover over the message bubble on desktop).
2. Select Delete.
3. Select Delete for everyone.
Now, there’s less chance that, for example, a record of your conversation could be shared with a notable reporter in a potentially legally discoverable form.
Finally, no matter how secure the messaging platform is, if what you need to discuss is very sensitive, it’s probably best to «gather everyone in a room.» This article originally appeared on Engadget in.
