Signal app, a privacy-focused messaging app has gained prominence among the Dutches in the past month, according to multiple app-tracking platforms including Sensor Tower.

According to Dutch App Stores, Signal has sitted as one of the most downloaded free app on iOS and Andriod across all categories.

The app has experienced surges in popularity over the years, often in response to policy changes at rivals like WhatsApp or geopolitical events.

With the emergence of the new U.S. president early this year, and his support for the tech industry, digital privacy tools are enjoying the moment particularly in Europe.

According to TechCruch, Signal has made a name for itself as a more privacy-friendly option — it’s operated by a not-for-profit foundation (albeit one based in the U.S.) rather than a private business focused on monetizing data. Moreover, Signal tracks minimal metadata.
