Are there any 3rd party clients for Signal? Is this possible? Is the API copyright of Signal the company? #signalapp #signal

@rumblestiltskin

There aren't as the company is actively preventing them from being created.

@kravietz That is not what i was hoping for. I am much less impressed with my ability to move most of my close friends and family members to Signal.

I'm facing the same dilemmas with my "normal" friends and relatives I've just really given up, and the most advocacy I do is to recommend switching to Signal or Telegram or, with more tech-savvy people, to Matrix :)

You can bridge Signal to Matrix using its desktop app API but you still need a Signal app installed on an Android phone (or emulator) because they block any independent client implementations.
