Release Notes Published

  • 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.
  • Raised hand indicators in group calls now display the current order of the queue, so you can easily see who got the upper hand first.
  • We also added a real-time visualization while recording voice messages, so surfers (and oceanographers) can stare at multiple moving waveforms whenever they share updates from the beach.
