# Signal Capture / CM for SGNL App

Signal Capture is an archiving application that archives Signal communication from Android and iOS devices. The application archives communication from Signal mobile and desktop applications.

The application archives the following Signal features:

- Message text
- Multimedia
- Files
- Deleted messages

Signal Capture can be used on corporate and BYOD devices allowing users to separate personal and work-related Signal communications.

The captured communication can be archived to any supported secondary storage device. The archived messages are stored with the content, employee email, and other message metadata. You can search and filter calls and messages in the archive using employee name, email, mobile number, message type, and attachments.

You can use Signal Capture when:

- Your employees use the Signal app for work-related communication with customers, stakeholders, and colleagues.
- You want to utilize Signal-encrypted communication.
- You want to separate private and business communication on the Signal app.
- Your organization uses Corporate or BYOD mobile devices.

Administrators can distribute the application to employees using Apple Business Manager or Google Enterprise Private Store.

Employees can also download the application from the Smarsh App Center.
