• 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.

• Now you can enable the new "Optimize On-Device Storage" setting on a paid backup plan to securely offload older Signal attachments and free up space on your phone. These end-to-end encrypted files can be re-downloaded from your personal backup anytime.

• 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.

• 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.

• Say hello (or “Здравейте” and “Sveiki”) to expanded localization support for Bulgarian and Lithuanian.
