What’s New Version 8.18
• 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.
Description
Signal is a messaging app with privacy at its core. It is free and easy to use, with strong end-to-end encryption that keeps your communication completely private.
• Send texts, voice messages, photos, videos, GIFs, and files for free. Signal uses your phone’s data connection, so you avoid SMS and MMS fees.
• Call your friends with crystal-clear encrypted voice and video calls. Group calls supported for up to 50 people.
• Stay connected with group chats up to 1,000 people. Control who can post and manage group members with admin permission settings.
• Share image, text, and video Stories that disappear after 24 hours. Privacy settings keep you in charge of exactly who can see each Story.
• Signal is built for your privacy. We know nothing about you or who you’re talking to. Our open source Signal Protocol means that we can’t read your messages or listen to your calls. Neither can anyone else. No back doors, no data collection, no compromises.
• Signal is independent and not for profit; a different kind of tech from a different kind of organization. As a 501c3 nonprofit we are supported by your donations, not by advertisers or investors.

Build 886842245v8.152026-06-12 15:00:41
• 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.

Build 885637880v8.112026-05-14 00:09:15
• 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.
Build 885301162v8.102026-05-06 18:00:04
• Say hello (or “Здравейте” and “Sveiki”) to expanded localization support for Bulgarian and Lithuanian.
Build 885080523v8.92026-04-29 20:12:18
• 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.

Build 884520389v8.72026-04-15 15:19:16

Build 883759713v8.42026-03-25 22:00:36
• 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.
Build 883513640v8.32026-03-19 17:02:31
• 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.
Build 883236987v8.22026-03-11 14:10:06
• Signal secure backups are here! Now you can choose to enable automatic end-to-end encrypted backups so you'll never lose a message when you get a new phone or reinstall Signal. You can back up all of your messages and the last 45 days of media for free, or you can pay a small monthly fee to get 100 GB of storage to back up every attachment. Tap on backups in your Signal settings to get started. Thanks to everyone who helped test this feature during the beta period!

Build 882578763v7.962026-02-18 19:16:36
• 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.
Build 882353727v7.952026-02-11 16:00:41
• Help keep important information easily accessible with pinned messages. Your most frequently asked questions, dinner reservations, and vacation itineraries are already top of mind. Now they can be top of chat as well.

Build 881796818v7.92.12026-01-24 02:54:54
• 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.
