Poor choice. They should've gone with "TextSecure". "Signal" is too generic, and I don't see any security aspect related to it. (But who am I to complain, I'm using Threema, anyway.)
- Nexxxeh 11y agoFrankly it is a stupid choice. "Have you got signal?", "Get signal so I can message you!" It is already a widely used word relating to cell phones. Even with context, it's not obvious which "Signal" one is necessarily referring to.

- celticninja 11y ago'Have you got the signal app?' - solved.
- Nexxxeh 11y agoThe signal app, the one that shows me how strong my mobile signal is? Yes. (Annoyingly only for one SIM though.) "The app called Signal" would be the only sensible way to do it that I can immediately see, but it's still clumsy and daft.
