Signal has doubled its usual rate of new downloads in the US since news broke of the White House's use of encrypted messaging app Signal .

Signal 's head of growth and partnerships: "This is the largest US -growth moment by a massive margin" President Trump suggested Wednesday that Signal might be a "defective" app.

Federal officials at the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency responded to those breaches by publicly recommending that Americans use encrypted messaging and calling applications. But all of that has been dwarfed by the attention and interest Signal has received in the last week . As messy as SignalGate may be, Harada says, it's made Signal a household name like never before. “To have this kind of mainstream moment is massive,” he says. “I believe it’s a sea change for private encrypted messaging for the US and the world.”.
