• This update introduces a new custom mute option so you can easily specify the exact date and time when you would like to end your moment of silence for notifications in a specific chat.

• In addition to the existing remote backup support, this update introduces a new on-device backup option too. Now you can export an encrypted copy of your Signal messages and save them to the storage location of your choice.

• Just in time for your next upgrade, the revamped device-to-device migration experience makes it easier than ever to securely transfer your Signal information from an old phone to a new phone over a local end-to-end encrypted wireless link. When available, connections now utilize Wi-Fi Aware networking for dramatically improved speed and reliability too.

• We also added an alphabetized list (with a search bar!) when you tap on someone’s avatar to add them to another group, so you can help a new friend feel included even faster.

• We added a convenient shortcut to quickly lower your hand after you start speaking during a Signal group call. It's hands down our favorite feature in this release.

• Now you can link another iPhone to your Signal account to send and receive messages and stay in sync with your main phone. Previously only iPads and laptops were supported as linked devices, but after this update one pocket no longer needs to be jealous of the other.

• Group admins can now bring chats to their natural conclusion with the new "End Group" option in group settings. Ending a group prevents group members from sending messages or starting calls, and also disables invites. Now you can make sure everyone stays on the right thread by ending last year's sewing meetup group before stitching a new one together.

• Polls can now be created in individual chats too. Present a curated list of choices to your indecisive friend, or recapture the magic of passing a note to your crush by creating a “Do you like me? Y/N/Maybe” poll.

• The official Signal release chat is a new way to find out about the latest improvements and features. It’s muted by default, and if you’d prefer to not get these messages we won’t be offended if you block the chat too. • Group admins can now delete recently sent messages in a group chat. If someone accidentally posts a spoiler in your Book Club group and then walks away from their phone, a group admin can delete it to keep the plot twist intact. You can easily see when a message was deleted and who removed it, just like the existing “Delete for Everyone” feature. • Now you won’t need to scroll as far to catch up on the latest messages. If several new people join a busy group chat, or you receive multiple missed calls in a row, those repeated chat events can be automatically grouped together into a compact display. Sometimes less is more, but you can expand and collapse these lists at any time. • We also increased the maximum number of pinned chats from 4 to 10, so you can show 6 more people how much you love what they have to say.

• Now you can enable the new "Optimize On-Device Storage" setting on a paid backup plan to securely offload older Signal attachments and free up space on your phone. These end-to-end encrypted files can be re-downloaded from your personal backup anytime.

• We've introduced additional confirmations and educational messaging in the app to help protect Signal users from phishing and social engineering attacks. As a reminder, never reply to chats pretending to be Signal, and never send your verification code, PIN, or recovery key to anyone. • Animated GIF searches are now much faster, but it's still up to you if you say what you mean or meme what you say.
