Signal protects your messages while it's on the web, on the way to your recipient. During this time, it is encrypted - but while on your or the recipients device, its plain text (as you can read it). There are many ways to get to those messages, like getting access to your unlocked phone/unlocking your phone, if your signal is not password locked (and if they can't break that password), or doing this with your recipient. OpSec is a process, not single tools!
