Can share with group
Users can share stories with all your contacts, with any group or with select contacts as per their convenience and desire. If you want to share a story in a group, then any person in that group will be able to share your story. Also can give feedback or reply on it.
Apart from groups, this feature is similar to WhatsApp’s service. Just there it is called Status. However, one of the major differences between Signal and the WhatsApp feature is that if you don’t want to share or watch stories, Signal won’t force you to do so. You can disable Stories completely by going to Settings. You can also remove your ability to post them. You can also block other people’s stories from showing.
When this feature will be brought to all Signal users, it is not known at the moment. However, now all users will be able to use it soon after beta users.
