Features of Signal App

Signal App has better features than Whatsapp. You do not get these features in Whatsapp. Let us know what are these features.

1) Group Joining Request
We told you earlier also that you can create a group in the Signal App. But like Whatsapp no one can add you to any group. When someone wants to add you to a group, you will get a notification about it.

If you accept it then only you will be able to add to that group. If you do not want to be added to that group, then you can also ignore the notification.

2) PIN Lock Security
You can set Screen Lock and Registration Lock in Signal App. Whenever your Mobile Screen is turned off in Screen Lock, then to open the Signal App, you will have to enter the 4 digit PIN that you had set.

If you apply Registration Lock, then the next time you register the Signal App, that PIN will be required. The advantage of this is that no one else can use your Signal account except you.

3) Hide ”typing…..” Feature
While chatting in Whatsapp, when the person in front keeps on typing, then ‘typing……’ is written. Can’t hide it in Whatsapp but you can hide it in Signal App.

For this you have to go to Settings Privacy and turn off Typing indicators. With this, the person in front will not know whether you are typing or not. But even with this you will not be able to know whether the person in front is typing or not.

4) Hide Blue Tick Feature
If you want that no one should know whether you have seen the sent message or not, then you can Hide Blue Tick. For this also go to Settings Privacy and turn off Read receipts. But even with this you will not be able to see whether the person in front has seen the message or not.
