The non-profit Signal Foundation based in Silicon Valley, which currently oversees the app, was launched in February 2018 with Brian Acton, who cofounded WhatsApp before selling it to Facebook, providing initial funding of $50 million (roughly Rs. 365 crores). Signal faced a global outage that began on January 15. Although users could open the app and send messages, nothing was actually delivered. Signal later sent Gadgets 360 a message with the following statement from its COO Aruna Harder: "We have been adding new servers and extra capacity at a record pace every single day this week, but today exceeded even our most optimistic projections. Millions upon millions of new users are sending a message that privacy matters, and we are working hard to restore service.
