#Signal for iOS v8.8 release notes:
* The freshly spun emoji in Unicode 17.0 have now pirouetted into place in Signal. Send a message reaction with the new Ballet Dancer emoji to perform your own digital version of a pas de chat.

#Signal for Android v8.7 release notes:
* We have a new plaintext export feature that lets you export all of your Signal data to disk in a mostly-human-readable format. It’s basically a plaintext json-ified version of our new local backup format. Hopefully it’s helpful for those who need it! Settings > Chats > Export chat history.

#Signal for Desktop v8.6 release notes:
* 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 easily expand and collapse these lists at any time.

#Signal for Desktop v8.4 release notes:
* Now you can optionally add a member label to describe yourself or your role in a group chat. Set your group member label to “Referee” or “Goalie” in your local rec league soccer chat to help kick things off when new teammates join, then choose a different label with your job title in the company chat. Member labels appear next to your profile name in that group, and group admins can control whether or not they are enabled for everyone.

New from WIRED: #SignalGate is Driving the Most US Downloads of #Signal Ever
"...that makes this week the single biggest bump in US adoption of the app in Signal's nearly 11 years of existence."
“In Signal’s history, this is the largest US-growth moment by a massive margin,” says Jun Harada, Signal's head of growth and partnerships. “It’s mind-blowing, even on our side.”

#Signal for Desktop v7.43 release notes:
* Valentine’s Day is all about celebrating a perfect match, so we updated the text label on a single button in the Desktop app to create a cute couple with the same button on your phone. This sounds like a very small change, and it is, but sometimes it’s the little things that show how much you care.
