not a year and a half since implementing one of the most important-yet-taxing features, phone number privacy and usernames, #Signal is now looking for testers for its next absolutely huge feature: fully secure, fully private cloud backups.
the more people who test it, the better they can iron out the bugs and publish it to the world at large!
so what are you waiting for? go take it for a test drive!

TL;DR You can test the new Signal Backups feature on Android on our staging servers. Grab the self-updating apk here! Hello, everyone! Many of you are aware that we’ve been working on a new end-to-end encrypted backup system for quite a while. Well, today, we’re finally ready to start testing it with external users 🙂 The new backup system fulfills so many of the things people have wanted for so long: Hosted by Signal, so your data is safe even if you made a local back...

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: aren’t you glad that we don’t (yet) live in a world where on-device client side surveillance triggers report you to the police for using words like “bomb” or “uranium” in Signal & WhatsApp chats?

The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear program and likely only set it back by months, according to an early US intelligence assessment that was described by four people briefed on it.
In case you missed it: “By Default, Signal Doesn’t Recall”
It’s rapidly getting to the point where if you want to have conversation privacy you must implement screenshot-prevention (mobile) or DRM-protection (laptop) in order to prevent surveillance; and then get users to enable those features.
Signal Desktop now includes support for a new “Screen security” setting that is designed to help prevent your own computer from capturing screenshots of your Signal chats on Windows. This setting is automatically enabled by default in Signal Desktop on Windows 11. If you’re wondering why we’re on...
