Hello, world.

How to get the Signal update JSON link

What is the simplest way to get the Signal update JSON link without using a computer, Firefox USB debugging bridge, Kiwi Browser, or any Chrome web debugger?

Common Questions

Why do I need to find that link myself if someone has already written the configuration for me?

Core Points

1. Personal interest: Everyone has a different take on this. For me, it’s purely out of boredom, and I enjoy the process of doing it.

2. Teaching a man to fish: For most people, their philosophy is "give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Getting Started

Without further ado, let’s get straight into it.

First, you need an Android browser that can view network requests. I recommend Privacy Browser, but if you can find a similar alternative, feel free to use that instead.

The steps are as follows:

1. Open Privacy Browser and enter https://signal.org/download/apk in the address bar.

2. You need to enable JavaScript.

3. Go to the sidebar in the top-left corner and click it.

4. Select "Requests".

You’ll find that JSON link right in there. It’s as simple as that, no need to overthink it. Cheers.
