Signal, the privacy-focused messaging app, is updated with a long-awaited feature

Signal may not have the torrent of updates of other messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram, but its central core as an app is well worth understanding that protecting the user with encryption from start to finish is already more than important. Now Signal has been updated with stories of the beta channel. A feature available in other apps like Instagram itself.

Signal is updated with stories

Via XDA we know that Signal, via the beta channel, has been updated with the Stories feature already seen last year in an APK breakdown. That’s not a functionality unknown at allsince it has become very common on some social networks like Instagram.

The stories allow share images, videos and texts with contacts for this content to automatically disappear after 24 hours. As we said, something already usual that many users will surely appreciate, as long as they use this application to communicate completely privately with anyone.

Now Signal itself has announced this new feature to its community forums with great fanfare, so across the version 5.52 beta for Androidand in iOS 5.7 you can access stories.

This is how Signal Stories work

Signal stories are here to be arranged in a new tab in the bottom bar of the app so you can see the list of contact stories. Through this tab, you can access the creation of a story, either from the button to capture an image with the camera, or from the button on the same page.

Como sucede en Instagram, se abre un visor para así capturar la imagen y compartirla con los contactos. También se puede seleccionar desde la galería y así subirla rápidamente. Para finalizar, se añade un mensaje, anotaciones, se puede recortar o incluso guardar la imagen en el almacenamiento interno del móvil.

Aparte de vídeos, también se puede compartir Stories en texto con los contactos al seleccionar la opción misma en la barra inferior en la página de creación. En general, imita las opciones de las otras stories de otras apps.

Ahora bien, si quieres participar en la beta has de entrar en el program a través de este enlace en la Play Store. Por lo que una de las apps más atractivas para la privacidad en un móvil Android se actualiza con una importante función para socializar con amigos y contactos.
