. In the halcyon world of user interface design, a "toast" is a tiny status message that briefly appears on the screen.

. We also fixed a couple of broken animations in chats with a custom background.

. The attachment selector has a brand-new design that is more compact and easier to use. If you start feeling attached to these improvements right away, that's OK because it's thematically appropriate.
. For those of you who don't like AM or PM, it's time to smile. Now when your system settings are configured to display a 24-hour clock, the clock stickers in the media editor will be in 24-hour format too.

version 6.40

Sep 7, 2023
Version 6.40
. Now you can add stickers to pictures in the media editor to make them truly stick out. Put another bumper sticker on a picture of a car, add some sticker shock to a screenshot of Taylor Swift ticket prices, or spice up a photo of last night's dinner with a sticker of a pot sticker. 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.
. Show them the time of your life with new stickers in the media editor that let you add stylized time decorations on outgoing images too.

. If someone @mentions you in a reply to a group story, you’ll get notified as expected.

Version 6.18
. The magic of VHS and Betamax technology from the 1970s is now available in the palm of your hand. Revolutionary new Fast Forward and Rewind buttons will appear on long videos (30 seconds or more) so you can skip to the good parts or get back to something you missed.

version 5.13.0

May 26, 2021 Version 5.13.0
. Transcribing that welcome message every time someone joins the group starting to kill the vibe? We prescribe a new way to describe which is visible to members automatically. Feel free to ascribe those continued good vibes to us!

version 5.12.0

May 17, 2021 Version 5.12.0

version 5.11.1

May 6, 2021 Version 5.11.1
. We still have more improvements in the works, but the chat scrolling enhancements in this release will make you feel like such a "Smooth Operator" that you're basically performing an unofficial cover of Sade's hit song from 1984.

. We fixed a bug that made it impossible to find results for a single Chinese character in the new chat screen.
. Animated GIF search results now show up in a jiffy (even though that isn't how GIF is pronounced).

version 5.9

Apr 17, 2021 Version 5.9

. Swipe left on any message to quickly see message details. Whether you're wondering when the message was sent (exit stage left) or when they saw the message and didn't reply (left you on read), nothing is left to the imagination with the new left-swipe shortcut.

. If you've been searching for an option that you can't seem to find, just retrace your steps with the new and improved Signal Settings menu. It's probably wherever you set it last.
. Bandwidth shouldn't be the limiting factor that determines whether or not you can talk to someone (unless it's emotional bandwidth) so this release includes a few tweaks to help low-bandwidth calls perform even better.

version 5.6

Mar 1, 2021 Version 5.6
. Between the improvements in this update and the improvements in the last update, Signal can now process 16,500% more messages per second. Now you can immediately see the mountain of unread messages that arrived while your cellular reception was taking a hike.
. Incoming video calls weren't always ringing for some users on iOS 14, but we aren't hung up on this bug anymore.
. People with tons and tons of contacts may still struggle to handle the weight of their own popularity, but Signal no longer makes them wait as long or struggles to handle their super-large address books.

version 5.3.2

Feb 3, 2021 Version 5.3.2

. If they're a big deal to you, tap on their profile photo to see them in a full-screen view.

version 5.1

Jan 10, 2021 Version 5.1
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.

. You can now send and receive voice and video calls from your linked iPad.

version 3.12.4

Jul 8, 2020 Version 3.12.4

. 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.

. Jump for joy instead of jumping for no reason. We fixed several bugs related to scrolling performance and behavior.

. We want the app to be fast so we left even more performance bottlenecks in the past.

version 3.10.4

Jun 9, 2020 Version 3.10.4
. In order to help new users troubleshoot missing message notifications, we added dismissable reminders that explain how to enable (or re-enable) app permissions.

Jun 8, 2020 Version 3.10.3
. 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.

. 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.

New features for Signal private groups are now available, including group admins, @ mentions, group links and more! Available in new groups you create, and coming soon to your existing groups.

- @mentions let you mention someone in the group. They’ll be to jump directly to that mention the next time they open the chat, and you can also set your notifications to only notify you when you’re mentioned.
- Admins are able to remove members from a group, manage who can add people to the group or modify the group’s info, and make other members admins as well.
- Group links let you invite people to join a group simply by sharing a link with them. You can also require admin approval if someone requests to join your group via a link.

. 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.
