Signal keeps chat history on the device, meaning all the incriminating evidence (of yourself and others) is on your person when you get arrested.
Sky ECC wipes messages after 30 seconds, meaning a seized phone is of limited value to investigators.
- Ploskin 6y agoIs this still the case even if you set it messages to self-delete after a set period?
- sva_ 6y agoSignal has a function to delete messages after a set interval (after having read it.) I don't know about Sky ECC, but Signal requires a Phone # to register, as far as I remember. It's increasingly hard to get anonymous Phone # in the EU. That might be an argument against using it.
