Stories Are Now Available in Beta Signal
Signal is preferred by many because this messenger managed to create a reputation as one of the most reliable and secure. Of the advantages, it has end-to-end encryption and is owned by a relatively small company. In addition, Stories are tested on the platform, which can be good news for many users.
Stories in Signal are available to beta app users. The addition of this feature was announced back in March of this year. In essence, Signal offers users a feature on almost all social networks. On the other hand, Stories in messengers are not as actively used as in Instagram or Facebook. The developers thought about those people who wanted to limit their application use to only basic functions.
Therefore, you can opt out of Stories in the Settings section. Disappearing posts of your friends will not be available to you, and you, in turn, will not be able to share files in this format.
Stories in Signal are similar to Stories on many other platforms: you upload text, video, or photos, and they are visible to your contacts for 24 hours from the moment they are posted. You can choose the people who can see your disappearing posts: it can be a group, a specific list of selected contacts, or all friends. Those with whom you have shared your story will be able to reply to it, share it, and send various reactions.
The implementation of disappearing posts is almost the same as in WhatsApp. They are called 'statuses' on this messenger. The advantage of Signal is that developers do not impose new features and offer a choice. This is a great option both for those who want more features in the messenger and those who prefer a concise interface.
Do you plan to use this feature in Signal?
