Signal is grabbing a couple of features from other messengers to make itself better on Android, and it’s not that bad.
We see the privacy-focused platform adding a dedicated comment section for specific messages in a chat, while also introducing a chatbot to inform users about new feature releases. Both these are being tested in the beta channel, with general users getting them gradually.
Dedicated Replies Section and a Chatbot
Signal is all known for its privacy and security features, but it’s also a competitive instant messenger that’s adding features that entice the community. In this pursuit, the platform announced a new addition today, that clears out a mess in the chat.
It’s a dedicated section to view all the replies made to a specific message in the chat, making it easy for users to view all related messages in one place. This is more helpful in a group chat, where several people respond to a specific message often – making it a mess ultimately.
Planning your pizza order for movie night but forgot how many people want pepperoni versus veggie? If you’re using Android, you can now tap the speech bubble icon next to a message to pull up all replies to that message and never lose the thread (or under-order on toppings)! pic.twitter.com/fx3ESyNm6b — Signal (@signalapp) July 7, 2022
