Signal is the latest messaging app to bring Stories for its users, which basically means the content automatically disappears after 24 hours.
Signal Stories is coming to the secure messaging app and the first signs of its presence have been spotted in the latest beta version. Stories was first introduced on Snapchat many years back, which was later picked up by Instagram, Twitter and WhatsApp as well.
So it seems like Signal doesn’t want to miss out on having this feature for its users, which is why Stories is now coming to Signal as well. Stories for Signal is coming to the Android beta version 5.52 and for iOS users, the version is 5.57. Stories basically allow you to share videos, photos or even text with people in your contact list that disappears automatically after 24 hours.
For Signal users Stories will be available in the form of a new tab which is right next to the Chats section at the bottom of the app’s interface.
