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 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

@signalapp I just want my SMS support back. I've been hopping across half-a-dozen different free SMS apps that are either missing features or have those broken features. Everything just worked with Signal. I also can't convince my friends to try Signal when I now don't use it. We're aware of reports that access to Signal has been blocked in some countries. As a reminder, Signal's built-in censorship circumvention feature might be able to help if your connection is affected: Signal Settings > Privacy > Advanced > Censorship circumvention (on)

#Signal also works with with #tor #orbot on #Android, which can help to circumvent #censorship.
@signalapp @signalapp will signal work with this on if someone went on holiday to China for example? Official statement from @Mer__edith: the new EU chat controls proposal for mass scanning is the same old surveillance with new branding. Whether you call it a backdoor, a front door, or “upload moderation” it undermines encryption & creates significant vulnerabilities.  @signalapp @Mer__edith Thanks for being strong in your privacy oriented stance. @signalapp @Mer__edith We still have one day to stop this #ChatControl mass surveillance madness, especially if you're from IT, FI, CZ, SE, SV, EST, GR, PT. Act NOW: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/council-to-greenlight-chat-control-take-action-now/ Phone number privacy and usernames are now rolling out to everyone using Signal version 7.0! Update your app to take advantage of these new features 🎇

  The best way to keep a phone number private is to not be forced to use it in the first place. We are touched by and grateful for every donation, including the occasional envelope of cash. Signal is a nonprofit. But what does this mean in practice? Today we do something most tech co’s avoid: talk money. What does it cost for Signal to play in a lane dominated by billion $ corporations, while rejecting the surveillance business model?

@signalapp Also remember that as with all US non-profits, Signal's tax filings are public. So you can see another (if less up to date) breakdown of their expenditures at https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/824506840/202212729349301631/full :)  @signalapp great write-up. Love the transparency. Donated and would love more friends to move from WhatsApp but they don't because of network effects Our quantum-resistant protocol upgrade, PQXDH, is now “the first machine-checked post-quantum security proof of a real-world cryptographic protocol.” Thanks to the researchers who did this important formal verification! Read more from them here👇 For added security, turn on Screen Lock by going to Settings > Privacy. When Screen Lock is enabled, you’ll be required to open Signal in the same way you unlock your phone–by entering your PIN, passphrase, Touch ID, or Face ID. You can choose the length of time for the timeout from instant to 1 hour.

@signalapp like @matrix Spaces 🤨
@signalapp
And it's off by default as to not clutter the UI; thank you!
