New: Group member labels, a way to describe yourself or your role in a group chat, only visible to that group chat.

Label yourself the “Goalie” to your soccer team or “Favorite Child” to your family to stir some drama.

Label yourself

We all take on different roles in relation to our friends, neighbors, family members, and colleagues. Keep those different roles clear in your many Signal group chats by using group member labels, now available in the latest versions of Signal for Android, Desktop, and iOS.

@signalapp @quaff Neat!✨ Thanks Signal! 💙

@Em0nM4stodon @signalapp I am thinking of some silly labels to use in certain group chats 😂

@signalapp Can we get a way to stop important chats from constantly being buried under others next? Pins kinda work but being artificially limited to 4 isn't enough. Why can't I make the default view a specific folder and move the less important stuff off of that screen?

@signalapp Nice! 🔝 Thanks 💙

The one feature I miss from Facebook messenger was that anyone can set the name for anyone else in a given chat

Was an extremely stupid feature but a lot of fun. Would it be possible to add a setting for "who can set labels for a given user" in chats in addition to the existing "who can have a member label" one? (Self/admins/anyone)

@gbargoud you can assign nick names in chats. This option is there.

@signalapp This is cool. We still need custom statuses though. Good work.
