Signal, SimpleX or Molly? Choose Your Messaging Setup (Phase 3.0–3.1)
Nothing loads from YouTube until you press play. The video then plays in YouTube’s privacy-enhanced mode. Everything on screen in the Hardware Lab is a training value.
Phase 3, steps 3.0 and 3.1 of the Communication Suite build: choose your messaging arrangement and install the apps. Family and work stay on separate identities on one phone, with more than one way to reach people. The four arrangements, the strong default (SimpleX for family, Signal for work), why Signal plus Molly isn't a backup, and the tie-breaker that decides a close call. Then install Signal, KeePassDX, Tor Browser, and SimpleX or Molly, from the Guide's sources. The suite's Hardware Lab installs Signal and SimpleX from official download pages instead, so its screens are illustrative.
What you’ll learn
- Pick an arrangement that fits your contacts
- Apply the tie-breaker
- Install the right apps from the right sources

The honest limits
Signal plus Molly separates accounts, not infrastructure: one Signal outage or block takes down both. A real phone number is a strong handle. Where each app is published changes: check before you install. The lab's install screens are illustrative.
Check before you rely on it
