• Now you can disable the default outgoing message sound to give yourself the silent treatment (Signal Settings > Notifications > Sounds > Message Sent Sound). • We fixed a bug that made it possible to scroll the message input box even when it was empty. If you still want to scroll something that feels empty, you can ask your friend to send you a panoramic photo from their desert camping trip. • This update also introduces several user interface enhancements, including a refined attachment and sticker keyboard on iPad, and layout improvements throughout the app.

• Say hello (or “Здравейте” and “Sveiki”) to expanded localization support for Bulgarian and Lithuanian.

• The freshly spun emoji in Unicode 17.0 have now pirouetted into place in Signal. Send a message reaction with the new Ballet Dancer emoji to perform your own digital version of a pas de chat.

• We added convenient shortcuts to open chats or view profile details during group calls. Now you can long-press on any call participant and press them to say something (or tell them you're impressed with the point they just made). • This update also includes several VoiceOver accessibility improvements, particularly for quoted replies.

• Now you can optionally add a member label to describe yourself or your role in a group chat. Set your group member label to “Referee” or “Goalie” in your local rec league soccer chat to help kick things off when new teammates join, then choose a different label with your job title in the company chat. Member labels appear next to your profile name in that group, and group admins can control whether or not they are enabled for everyone.

• Make privacy stick with five new official sticker packs in the Signal Artist Series: "Chug the Mouse" by Amanda Cotan, "Cozy Season" by Miguel Ángel Camprubí, "Croco's Feelings" by Tiffany Beucher, "My Daily Life 2" by Plastic Thing, and "Rocky Talk" by Lexi Vay. • This update includes the next wave of design improvements for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. Take an optimistic look at the new message bubbles floating in front of your favorite chat wallpaper in a Liquid Glass cup that's more than half-full. • We also synchronized the colors of names in group chats to match other platforms, so now you'll see the same hue for the crew as you do on Signal Desktop too.

• We fixed a bug with the emoji selection sheet background color during voice and video calls. Now you don't need to search for the rage emoji when a bright background appears during a dark-themed (or thematically mysterious) group call. • We also updated and improved the text that appears in various second-person and third-person story reply scenarios. If you can't remember what "second person" looks like, this sentence is your latest example.

• Signal polls are here! Are you and your friends on the same page, or are you poll-ar opposites? Polls are an easy way to see what your group chat really thinks. Create a poll with competing dinner options, vacation destinations, musical preferences for an upcoming road trip, or any other important choices. Everyone in the group can vote and see each other's responses, and you can decide whether or not to allow multiple votes. • This update also includes the first wave of the Liquid Glass redesign for iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 with refined animations and new visual elements. Future releases will have even more improvements, but if you're thirsty for a new look then this Liquid Glass should already be pretty refreshing.
