User Reviews

Signal on iOS is widely praised for privacy, encryption, and its open-source nature, with many reviews calling it fast, reliable, simple, free, and ad-free. Users value cross-platform support and features like clipboard sharing. The most mentioned issues are delayed message delivery and occasional performance hiccups, along with some UX quirks and privacy concerns (e.g., watch previews). Overall it's seen as a privacy-centric, straightforward messenger, but with reliability and UX caveats.

Privacy-focused, encrypted, and open-source.
Fast, reliable messaging.

Cons

Delivery delays and performance issues (inconsistent message timing).

Recent reviews

Great reliability! Everything you need in a messaging app! Knowing that it’s private and isn’t owned by Meta gives it 5 stars for me!

All other app functions work extremely well; however, how, after being available and in service this whole time with improvements and updates, is the chat limit for attachments still restricted to only five chats? If I want to send to nine people, have to send to five then separately to the other four. Hoping the next update rectifies this longstanding discrepancy. Still more trusted for security than other messaging services.
