Signal is working on a standalone version of its desktop app that does not require a smartphone. Signal Desktop will also gain additional options when used as a linked device.

    It will still require a phone number, this is a nothingburger. Meanwhile, there’s still no way to use Signal on an android tablet.

      You can use a phone to authorize a tablet.

        Last I checked the android app only works as a primary device, and the desktop app doesn’t run on android, did that change?
