• We added support for custom nicknames and notes for anyone you're chatting with on Signal, even if they aren't in your system contacts. Whether you're adding the missing letters in a lazy friend's profile name, or a reminder about where you met, notes and nicknames provide a convenient and secure way to jot down additional details about your Signal Connections — and they're end-to-end encrypted and protected by your Signal PIN so they can be securely restored if you lose your phone too.

• In the halcyon world of user interface design, a "toast" is a tiny status message that briefly appears on the screen. After removing a contact in Signal, sometimes the confirmation message would get partially covered up by the keyboard (like a piece of toast stuck in the toaster). If you're on iOS 15+, please raise a glass and toast to never seeing that bug again. Cheers!

And if you happen to live in the village of Sticker in South West England, you can find your favorite local wall and attach a sticker to its picture to become a virtual bill sticker in Sticker.

• We improved the progress bar, video controls, icons, and other elements in the media viewer. All work and no play have made Signal a little bit better whenever you push play.

• If someone @mentions you in a reply to a group story, you’ll get notified as expected.
• We added support for line wraps for long profile names, and now the entire name will appear instead of being partially truncated with an ellipsis. You can still deliberately include an ellipsis in your profile name if you want to be “Mysterious…”

• Fixed some issues related to notifications
• Try out the new 'send messages' permission to restrict who can send messages in your groups. Great for organizing an event, making an announcement, or just shouting from the rooftops. All members must be on the latest version of Signal for the setting to appear.
• We know you love speed (and we don't mean the 1994 blockbuster hit starring Sandra Bullock), so sending messages is now faster than ever.

2021-01-18
This update is filled with dozens of changes! Here are a few highlights:
• Adjust your media download preferences to control when attachments get downloaded (Settings > Data Usage).
• We added support for longer group names in languages like Hindi where the previous limit was too small.
• We raised the group call limit from 5 to 8, so now you can call it even.
• Share something funny from other apps with multiple Signal chats at the same time.
• Use the optional shortcut to enable a shareable group link when you create a new group.
• Additional file attachments can now be opened right from within the app.
• Now you can easily see the latest Signal profile photo that your contacts have chosen, but we added an option to always show system profile photos if you prefer the old behavior (or start to miss the blurry photo of them from 9 years ago that has travelled across multiple SIM cards).
• Video quality and size improvements.
• We fixed a bug that prevented iPad users from tapping Send when sharing content from other apps, and another bug that prevented WebP images from sending properly on iOS 14.

Our motivation was the acceleration of every single conversation with a fixation on the duration of the scrolling presentation and the transformation of slow frustration and aggravation into exhilaration and elation as the sensation of pagination and navigation defies your every expectation. We have nothing but appreciation for the beta testers whose determination and cooperation deserve a standing ovation for helping with this renovation.

3.15
2020-08-24
• A new and improved interface for voice and video calls. Dial a friend without jumping through as many hoops, even though there still might be multiple rings.
• Easily start a video call with a new shortcut that's a more visible way to be visible.
• Picture-in-picture support within the app keeps your Signal calls in focus even if you focus on another conversation. It isn't multitasking if they still have your undivided attention.
• Quickly see details like mute status and timers in the conversation header so you don't need to keep them in your head.
• iPad users with a Magic Keyboard can make more magic happen with the trackpad, like swiping to dismiss a photo in the media view.
• Less is more when you press "Read More." Long messages now expand within the thread itself instead of taking you to a separate screen.
3.14.2
2020-08-19
• We added an unread message counter to the arrow shortcut that appears when you’re looking at old messages. Quickly get to the bottom of what’s new by scrolling down to see what’s up.
• Inspired by that feeling of reconnecting with an old friend and picking up exactly where you left off, Signal is now able to resume interrupted media downloads when your phone reconnects with the internet.
• More camera flashes (and fewer camera crashes) for users on older versions of iOS.

• Tap glass in case of emergency. The new support interface makes it even easier to report bugs and access frequently asked questions. A helping hand is always near your fingertips, especially if you learn how to help yourself.
• You can now send and receive voice and video calls from your linked iPad.
• Sometimes your emojions just can’t be contained, so we’ve removed the message bubble on short emoji only messages.
• If boundless emoji aren’t enough, you can now send memoji and other stickers directly via the keyboard.
• Not everyone has earned the right to live in your address book, but that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to hear from you. You’ll now see all approved contacts as options when starting a new conversation or editing a group.
• Incoming calls will no longer ring your device when you haven’t approved the caller. They’ll be notified their call was rejected because you haven’t accepted their request.
• Now you can put a pin in PINs and disable them completely. This option is for advanced users who don't want to lose their ability to lose everything.

3.12.4
2020-07-08
• The badge count on the app icon now excludes new messages in muted threads and also gets updated when a thread is marked as unread. In other words, numbers after a mute point are a moot point, and you'll see a red "1" when you unread someone.
• Even though the changes are completely unrelated to fast money, the cache performance improvements in this release still help the app feel like a million bucks.
• In ancient times, you'd have to use stones or weights to keep the paper from curling up past where you wanted it to be, but these are modern times so we just added a feature that automatically maintains your scroll position.
• We updated the message retry user interface so it's easy to try again without trying your patience.

• Additional optimizations to speed up message delivery and the overall feel of the app.
• Jump for joy instead of jumping for no reason. We fixed several bugs related to scrolling performance and behavior.
• What was it like when images in incoming photo albums were occasionally shown in the wrong sequence? What emotions did you experience when the badge count display sometimes didn't update? These questions are now both historical *and* rhetorical, because we fixed both of those bugs too.

• Quickly invite someone from one group to join another group (possibly one that is even more exclusive). Tap on their photo, select the new "Add to group" button, and they're in – no secret handshake necessary.
• We want the app to be fast so we left even more performance bottlenecks in the past.
3.10.4
2020-06-09
• In order to help new users troubleshoot missing message notifications, we added dismissable reminders that explain how to enable (or re-enable) app permissions.
• No need to double-check for the double check. We fixed a bug that sometimes prevented the second delivery checkmark from appearing until you returned to the conversation list or sent or received another message.
3.10.3
2020-06-08
• Faster message sending in large groups and various improvements to the group conversation interface make it quicker to socialize and organize with lots of people.
• New performance enhancements help the app feel more responsive, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you need to be more responsive too.
3.10.2
2020-06-06
• Use the new blur feature in the image editor to give every face a hiding place, or draw a fuzzy trace over something you want to erase.
• Feeling Emojionally unavailable? Now you can react to messages with any Emoji. Wave back when someone new says hello in your group chat, use a cricket if nobody laughs at a joke, or fire for a particularly hot take. The choice is yours.
• Channel your inner procrastinator and mark any thread as unread.
• We fixed a bug that prevented iPad users from viewing media while split-screen multitasking. Now you can keep your friend's picture of a sunset on one side of the screen and write a journal entry about how it makes you feel on the other.
• Image previews are no longer a little blurry (unless you scroll through the conversation really fast).

• We fixed a bug that prevented iPad users from viewing media while split-screen multitasking. Now you can keep your friend's picture of a sunset on one side of the screen and write a journal entry about how it makes you feel on the other.
• Image previews are no longer a little blurry (unless you scroll through the conversation really fast).
3.9.1
2020-06-01

• The wheels of progress never stop turning. After this release, we will say goodbye to iOS 10 support in order to pave the way for new features.

• Take advantage of the new landscape media support. Turn your phone sideways while viewing pictures and videos. Be rebellious and watch a portrait video in landscape if you have fallen in love with videos that don't use your entire screen.
• Watch as your media uploads and downloads come full circle with the new transfer progress indicator.
• We fixed a bug that prevented VoiceOver from working properly with the Settings icon.
• We fixed a crash that would occur when sharing images.
• We also fixed a bug related to image captions.
