Signal Privacy Training 1 article

End-to-end encryption in Signal supports private communication, but safe account and contact practices still matter. Safety numbers, desktop linking, group controls, disappearing messages, and backups each raise privacy questions. Safety-number comparisons help address impersonation risks in sensitive conversations. Privacy settings can reduce unnecessary exposure but do not prevent someone from forwarding content or being deceived by a contact. Verifying identities and recognizing phishing attempts are therefore essential parts of responsible encrypted communication.
