Signal vs MyProfiles

Signal uses an advanced end to end encryption protocol that provides privacy for every message every time.

Signal is free and open source software, enabling anyone to verify its security by auditing the code. It's the only private messenger that uses open source, peer-reviewed cryptographic protocols to keep your messages safe.

Signal can be your default SMS/MMS text messenger. Encryption is not possible when sending SMS to your contacts, however.

Signal supports: emoji, pictures, videos, audio, contacts, any location and GIF.

Edward Snowden uses this messenger and recommends it to everyone who is concerned about his privacy.

Signal Desktop is a Chrome extension that allows you to mirror messages from your phone, including replying.

You can easily view all media shared in the chat without scrolling back to when it was shared.

Allows you to "send: messages to yourself and sync to desktop so you can use Signal as a kind of encrypted Pushbullet alternative

Unlike most messenger apps, Signal works reliably in all countries by securely circumventing internet censorship.

The sender credentials can be encrypted with the rest of the message, leaving only the recipient address readable by the Signal server. Even if Signal wanted they couldn't see who is talking with who by this mean.

It can change lots of settings on your phone, for example you can use MyProfiles to put the phone on silent at the times in the week or locations you shouldn't be disturbed. You can set an exception group from your Android contacts so that important people can still reach you. You can use it to put your phone into airplane mode overnight to save batteries, or when you have a meeting scheduled in your calendar.

Profiles can be activated based on a specific location, calendar event, battery status, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, screen, etc.

The default profiles available are normal, sleep, outdoor, online, offline and driving. Profiles control notifications, display settings, wireless settings, general settings, and launching/closing application settings (just to name a few).
