From custom chat wallpapers to low data mode, Signal tests several new features January 23, 2021 × Messaging app Signal is testing a range of new features in beta that the platform plans to roll out to general users soon. The app has garnered massive popularity this month owing to users migrating to the app in light of WhatsApp’s controversial privacy update. Signal is now planning to update the app with several new features that already exist in WhatsApp. According to a report by WABetaInfo, Signal is implementing features such as custom chat wallpapers, an ‘about’ section for contacts, a low data mode and animated stickers, download preferences for media files among others. It is also raising the group calls limit to eight participants. It is also enabling users to create a shareable group invite link which can then help them invite other Signal users to their groups.
