Signal Desktop now available in the Microsoft Store

Gen 30, 2026

Signal Desktop is now available to Windows users via the Microsoft Store. Of course, Signal Desktop can also still be downloaded from sito web ufficiale di Signal.

Signal Desktop is the desktop application of Signal, which you can link to your phone. To use Signal Desktop, you need an active Signal account on Android or iOS. Once linked, your chats are synchronized, allowing you to securely chat, make calls, and video call from your computer or laptop as well.

Until now, Signal Desktop could only be downloaded via sito web ufficiale di Signal. From now on, Windows users can also easily install the app via the Microsoft Store on their PC or through the Microsoft Store online.

With this expansion, Signal improves the distribution of its app, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Many new features and more to come

Signal Desktop has recently received several useful improvements, such as cartelle delle chat e profili di notifica, che ti consentono di personalizzare al meglio l'applicazione desktop. Con le cartelle chat, puoi trovare più facilmente le tue chat organizzandole in cartelle, mentre con i profili di notifica puoi decidere come, quando e da chi ricevere le notifiche.

It is also now possible to export your chat history in a machine-readable JSON file (via Settings > Chats > Export chat history), and you can pin important messages in chats and groups.

Even more new features are coming in the near future. Signal is working on local backups for Signal Desktop, which you can securely store yourself, for example on your computer, an external hard drive, or secure cloud storage. In addition, sending view-once photos and videos will soon be possible from the desktop app.

Don’t use Signal Desktop yet? In addition to Windows, Signal Desktop is also available for Linux and macOS. Download Signal Desktop via Signal’s official website or, for Windows users, via the Microsoft Store.
