Signal is stepping up its game with a series of impressive improvements aimed at making its call functions more competitive with heavyweights like Zoom and Google Meet. The platform has now introduced the ability to share call links, simplifying the process of connecting with friends or colleagues.

Prior to this update, initiating a call on Signal was limited to group chats. With the introduction of link-sharing, users can now effortlessly send a link to anyone, whether they’re on the platform or not. This means you can easily invite someone to join a call, thereby enhancing collaboration and communication. Plus, the option to reuse call links is a game-changer for frequent meetings—be it a quarterly project discussion or that cherished weekly family catch-up.

But that’s not all! Signal is also upgrading the in-call experience with new features that make conversations more engaging. A "raise hand" button allows participants to signal when they want to speak, promoting a smoother flow of dialogue. Additionally, users can express their emotions with multiple emoji reactions—because who doesn’t love a little emoji magic during chats?

Also noteworthy is the introduction of a dedicated tab for tracking call history, which adds a layer of convenience for users who want to keep tabs on past conversations.

These enhancements are currently available on the latest version of Signal for Android, iOS, and desktop, making it easier than ever to connect. As remote work continues to dominate our lives, these upgrades may well position Signal as a top choice for users seeking privacy without compromising functionality.

In a landscape filled with remote communication tools, will Signal rise above its competitors? The battle for the best calling platform is heating up—stay tuned for more updates!
