Which country's software is signal?

Signal software is characterized by preset end-to-end encryption and automatic message destruction functions. Once the message automatic destruction function is turned on, the communication records on the mobile phone will be automatically destroyed after a preset time, and the conversation content will disappear without a trace.

This is why the software is widely trusted. However, it is worth noting that China has been strictly controlling online speech, blocking almost all overseas social platforms and communication software, such as Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, but it has not banned signals. Jun Halada also said: "Actually, believe it or not, we are not banned in China."

Extended data:

After US President Donald Trump issued a ban on WeChat, users in China began to turn to Signal, an application software focusing on encrypted communication. On August 7th, a spokesman for Signal told the financial website of American consumer news and business channel that the download volume of Signal in China is increasing rapidly.

On August 6, President Trump issued an executive order, announcing that from September 20, American individuals and companies are prohibited from having any transactions with WeChat and its parent company, because WeChat endangers US national security.

Although the specific content of this sanction has yet to be further clarified by the US government, the executive order soon came into effect, and the download volume of Signal, a free communication software with higher privacy and end-to-end encrypted information, began to increase rapidly in China.

Signal spokesperson JunHarada refused to share the actual number of downloads on the grounds of user data policy. However, he said that a few hours before Trump's ban was issued, China's downloads began to surge, "compared with the situation that we ranked first in the app store in Hong Kong, it looks comparable".
