Signal is an instant messaging app with full end-to-end encryption. It is used by notables in place of PGP such as Bruce Schneier, one of the most prominent cryptographers in our generation.

Is there some sort of guide I could read to understand exactly how to use it?

It works similarly to Messanger. If you and a friend both have Signal, you can text one another like you would a SMS.

If multiple people all use Signal you can form a group chat and even give it a chat name and icon image to better denote it from other group messages.
