What's New is an index, not a publisher: every entry below links to the vendor's own release notes, which are the authoritative source. Entries are labelled where they are hand-curated sample data, pre-releases, or drawn from a secondary source such as a developer blog.

Reuse: the summaries, labels and curation here are © What's New. Quote freely with attribution and a link back; wholesale republication of the corpus is not permitted — terms: https://whatsnew.fyi/terms. The vendors' own release notes remain their publishers'.

- **added** — Add granular notification settings to control what appears on the app badge
- **added** — Add notification preference controls for muted threads
- **added** — Add button to restore default notification settings

- This update introduces more granular settings to give you significantly more control over your Signal notifications. Now you can choose what appears on the app badge, adjust notification preferences for muted threads, and more! We also added a convenient button to restore the default notification settings if you ever make so many changes that you don't even know how to get ahold of yourself anymore.
