Signal App: Is it Safe for Kids?

The Signal app is a free private messaging app that promises privacy for users through end-to-end encryption. It is widely used by people - from politicians to famous athletes - who don’t want to risk having others see or hear their personal information, private messages, and photos.

The app’s developer is a 501c3 nonprofit and there are no in-app purchases available. The company says it doesn’t collect metadata on its users (this includes a user’s identity and location). Using any private messaging app could lead to negative behavior because students might feel they can hide their actions from their parents.
