The development speed of Signal app seems to be back to normal after the recent hype around WhatsApp privacy policy. The latest beta update to version 5.6.1 came along with a new mute option that allows setting this toggle to "always". This is one of essential features for Signal to reach feature parity with WhatsApp.
How to test:
- Open any of your chats on Signal.
- Tap on the chat profile icon on top to see chat settings.
- Tap on the mute notifications button.
- Select "Always".
What's New?
★ Give notifications in any conversation a rest (while you rest) with the new 8-hour mute setting. Or choose "Always" instead of one year, and say goodbye to the annual tradition of renewing a moment of silence.
