Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A chart of the development of Signal. Sources: TextSecure and Signal. Android apps are above and iOS app is below.

Events:
a) Open Whisper Systems updated their protocol to version 2, adding group chat and instant messaging capabilities.

c) Open Whisper Systems merged RedPhone into TextSecure and renamed it as Signal.
d) Open Whisper Systems launched Signal as a RedPhone counterpart for iOS.
e) Open Whisper Systems added support for encrypted group chat and instant messaging.

Colours:

 
Red: Encrypted voice calling capabilities.
 
Green: Encrypted SMS/MMS messaging capabilities in TextSecure and subsequently in SMSSecure, a third-party fork of TextSecure.
 
Blue: Encrypted group chat and instant messaging capabilities.
 
Purple: Signal for Android and iOS after both had encrypted group chat, instant messaging and voice calling capabilities.
