Scandal surrounding the Trump administration's Signal group chat has led to a landmark week for the encrypted messaging app's adoption—its "largest US growth moment by a massive margin."

The article from Wired discusses a significant increase in Signal app downloads, attributing this surge to a controversy dubbed "Signalgate."
