It is far (FAR) from completion, but at least it doesn't have those stupid, naggy messages telling you to update. -Signal uses your phone's data connection (WiFi/3G/4G) to communicate securely, optionally supports plain SMS/MMS to function as a unified messenger, and can also encrypt the stored messages on your phone. +The `fork-5.53.8` branch is where the latest version is right now.
