Signal is also completely open-source. All communications on Signal—including one-to-one messages, group messages, file transfers, photos, voice calls, and video calls—are end-to-end encrypted. Only the people involved in the communication can see them. The encryption happens between the individual devices using Signal. The company that operates Signal could not see these messages even if it wanted to. Signal actually created its own encryption protocol for this.
This is very different from traditional messaging apps. For example, Facebook has access to everything you say in Facebook Messenger. Sure, some other messengers offer encrypted messaging as an optional feature. But everything on Signal is encrypted, always and by default.
Signal also offers other privacy features, including self-destructing disappearing messages that will automatically be removed after a period of time. Facebook Messenger collects a lot of data about you, too. Most companies collect a lot of data.

So, if you and someone else communicate via SMS, you can both install Signal and easily switch. Signal is simple to get started with.
