Signal Desktop

Signal Desktop is an Electron application that links with Signal on Android or iOS.

Install the production version: https://signal.org/download/

Install the beta

You can install the beta version of Signal Desktop alongside the production version. The beta uses different data and install locations.

  • Windows: First, download this file and look for the url property that specifies the location for the latest beta installer. Download the installer by constructing a final URL that looks like this: https://updates.signal.org/desktop/<installer location>. Then run the installer.
  • macOS: First, download this file and look for the url property that specifies the location for the latest beta installer. Download the installer by constructing a final URL that looks like this: https://updates.signal.org/desktop/<package location>. Then unzip that package and copy the .app file into the /Applications folder using Finder.
  • Linux: Follow the production instructions to set up the APT repository and run apt install signal-desktop-beta.
