Stories are coming to Signal

I learned that stories are coming to Signal from a commit message shared on Signal community forums earlier today. Stories is one of the top requested features, and something I personally like too.

Many of my friends are reluctant to move over to Signal because of the lack of engagement functionality, which includes features like stories, bots, multi-player gaming. The latter two feel a bit far-fetched, yeah. It is easy for messengers like Telegram to implement them because it’s not end-to-end encrypted by default. Anyway, these are exciting times and I am keen on seeing where Signal heads. They promised usernames in 2021 too, fingers crossed.
