Signal (Message App)

When you send a normal SMS text message to your friends, that message is available for anyone to read along the way. It has become extremely obvious that all forms of communication have been compromised by the Federal government and there have been recent instances where a (((foreign government))) has also set up imposter cell towers in order to intercept communications.

Signal is an encrypted messenger that replaces your native texting app. All messages that you send to other Signal users will be encrypted and delievered safely to the intended target. This method may not be 100% fool-proof but it is an improvement over the current state if you’re sending unencrypted messages through the air.
