Signal, You Really Need To Calm Down: Facebook IS NOT Trying To Manipulate Apple App Store Search
In a tweet, @signal app says, “Facebook is probably more comfortable selling ads than buying them, but they'll do what they have to do in order to be the top result when some people search for 'Signal' in the App Store.” Signal didn’t bother talking about the minor details in their latest tweet.

At a time when the Signal instant messaging app is reporting a surge in new signups and new users as a lot of WhatsApp users have even spooked by the new privacy policy for the app, it has climbed to the top of the charts on the Apple App Store in many countries, including India, at the time of writing this. However, a little bit of responsible tweeting might be in order for Signal on their official @signalapp Twitter account. In a tweet posted a while ago, Signal says that Facebook has somehow got a hand in manipulating the search results on the Apple App Store, when users search for the Signal app, and pushed the Facebook Messenger app to the front of the search results. Yes, these are exciting times and all, but not everything that you see may be a conspiracy. Signal says Facebook is pushing the Messenger app ahead of Signal on Apple’s app platform. It absolutely isn’t true.
