Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications. 1/

Sometimes one way to say "thank you" just isn't enough, so merci, danke *and* bedankt 🇧🇪

"We have ceded so many of the core operations of our lives and institutions to tech, we must recognise that strong encryption isn’t the enemy of security — it *is* security." - Signal President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social for @financialtimes.com on the war on encryption www.ft.com/content/a934...

A special welcome to all the new Dutch folks! 👋🇳🇱 Welkom bij Signal! Als je nieuw bent of een tijdje bent weggeweest, zijn hier een aantal dingen die jij of je vrienden misschien niet weten over Signal:

It's always an honor to Finnish in first place. Kiitos, 🇫🇮!

Coming soon: When you add a linked device (Desktop or iPad), bring your whole chat history + last 45 days of media. The transfer process is end-to-end encrypted & completely optional. Don't want to leave the past behind? We leave you to your own devices. signal.org/blog/a-synch...

Bedankt 🇳🇱!

A big heartfelt thank you from all of us at Signal to every person who has ever used Signal, gotten your friends to make the switch, and donated to support our work. It is truly an honor to build Signal for you. 💙

Signal is not for profit, which means we stay focused on building privacy-preserving tech, not appeasing advertisers or investors. And as a nonprofit, we exist because of your support. Signal.org/donate In-app: Settings > Donate We accept DAF, stocks, and cryptocurrency.

For the Signal enthusiasts in your life :) shop.signal.org

There are lots of ways to support Signal. - Go to signal.org/donate. We accept DAF, stocks & cryptocurrency. We even accept checks & cash for the low-tech among us. - Donate in the app: Settings > Donate to give or give on behalf of a friend. Thank you for using Signal!

New for Android: Chat folders to organize your conversations into customizable folders. See unread messages, filter 1-on-1 and group chats, and keep work chats separate to clock what's happening after you clock out. Settings > Chats or long-press any chat

It costs around $50 million every year to ensure Signal is robust and available all over the world for anyone whenever they need it. And as a nonprofit, that money comes from all of you; the people who believe that we all deserve a place to speak freely. signal.org/donate/

Filter to see all your unread messages, but take your time deciding whether to leave them on read. Pull down on the chat list on your phone or tap the icon next to the search bar on your Desktop. Now for iOS & Desktop as well as Android.

“We don’t want to be the outlier that proves the rule, we want to be a new set of rules leading the way to a much more open and diverse tech ecosystem,” Signal President @meredithmeredith.bsky.social told WIRED.

We’ve improved private group video calls in Signal with new features, incl. call links. Create a link that anyone on Signal can use to join a group call *without* having to join a Signal group chat first + raise hand, emoji reactions, calls tab, & more signal.org/blog/call-li...
