As of now, there are plenty of instant messaging apps available for Android & iOS. Out of all those, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Signal Private Messenger seem to be the best ones. If we talk about Signal Private Messenger, it’s an instant messaging app that takes your privacy very seriously.

One can exchange text messages, make voice & video calls on the platform. What’s more interesting is that Signal also has a desktop app that allows users to exchange text messages right from the computer. If you have been using the Signal Desktop app for communication, you might know that the desktop app doesn’t offer an option to sign out.

Although most users will not need to sign out of the desktop version, if you have used Signal on a public computer, it’s always best to log out to prevent account misuse.
