        Signal is private in that other people can’t intercept your messages, including signal. The signal app is open-source so you can be relatively certain it’s not tracking your decrypted messages, unlike closed-source apps like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger or any other private social media.

        Signal is not anonymous from an account standpoint, because you need a phone number to sign up, even if you can choose not to display it in your account.
