Social media apps are never complete without emojis and stickers. These are the means to make the conversation more expressive. You can show your emotions not only with text but also with stickers. People are bidding adieu to WhatsApp after its strange privacy policy change fiasco. The signal app is becoming the new and cool messaging app on the block with full respect for user’s privacy. That’s not all. If you are looking for the cool factor, then the Signal app has sufficient sticker packs for you to make your chats engaging.
