Signal saw massive influx of new users after WhatsApp updated its privacy policy
Signal said on Saturday it had restored its services a day after the application faced technical difficulties as it dealt with a flood of new users after rival messaging app WhatsApp announced a controversial change in privacy terms.
Signal has seen a rise in downloads following a change in WhatsApp s privacy terms, which required WhatsApp users to share their data with both Facebook and Instagram.
Signal users might see errors in some chats as a side effect to the outage, but will be resolved in the next update of the app, the company said in a tweet.
