There is a signal.
Users can make donations within the app with the new feature. A new post notes that Signal doesn't receive financial support from advertisers or shareholders, and relies on users for donations.
The company will use the same anonymous credential scheme it uses for its accounts, so users will not have their payment information associated with their Signal account.
Clients make payments and then associate a Badge to their profile so that the server can verify the client is who they say they are, but they don't know which payment it corresponds to.
Signal, a popular messaging app for people who want to secure their text messages, began adding some of the more consumer-friendly features that other messaging apps have had for a while.
Users can choose from three different sustainer levels, at $5, $10, or $20 each, with their own badges. If you uninstall or stop using the app, the payments will be canceled before the next cycle to eliminate the dark pattern of subscriptions you have forgotten about. Support for additional payment methods is in the works.
