The encrypted chat app from Open Whisper Systems of Signal will now allow everyone for making a private chat on video. This feature was initially launched last month by Android as beta version and available on Android and iOS platforms. The company allocated a short amount of time for beta “just to collect feedback and finding its related issues” mentioned by beta users. Now, its video is end-to-end encrypted as its calls and texts. So, anyone including spy agencies will not be able to bend an ear on your business. Point to be noted that video calling is a latest feature on iOS. The Open Whisper has indicated that CallKit is being used to get the app at the similar level as the natural iOS calling experience.

So, you can now place P2P (peer-to-peer) calls instead of previously going via server of Signal. It will ensure your privacy, but it will do it when you make or receive a call from your own verified contact. Generally, your location and IP address can be exposed during the P2P condition, but you can change setting by making your calls via service of Signal and prevent P2P. A “domain fronting” option has been added by the company in order to improve your privacy. It will move entire messages via domain of Google to stop governments from blocking them, such as Egypt. Some headline were made by Open Whisper and Wikileaks tweeted that CIA might bypass Signal, WhatsApp and some other encrypted apps. But, the CIA and hackers can only interrupt communications after getting entire access to your phone.
