Does Tails route every application through Tor?

Im a newbie to tails so im not 100% sure how it works fully. I got persistant storage down , and how that works, but not everything yet. Say for example i download signal on tails, will it automatically be routed through tor?

You may want to read this help page: it explains how to install additional software in Tails and what you should consider before doing so. It also says:

Packages that use the network need to be configured to go through Tor. They are otherwise blocked from accessing the network.

Tails FAQ also links a couple of tutorials about using Signal in Tails.
