Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was *gone,* a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design and development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups. signal.org/blog/introducing-secure-backups

Use Signal. We promise, no AI clutter, and no surveillance ads, whatever the rest of the industry does. <3

We're ready for Microsoft Recall and the automatic screenshots it takes of everything on your desktop. Signal Desktop on Windows now includes support for a new "Screen security" feature designed to block screenshots of your Signal chats. signal.org/blog/signal-...

Now on Signal Desktop: A brand-new selection interface that makes it easy to find an emoji, sticker, or animated GIF that’s perfect for the moment. Happy chatting!

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...
