Signal doesn’t have a broadcast lists feature in the app to send a single message to a large audience at once.
While Signal doesn’t offer broadcast lists, you can create a kind of broadcast list using Stories or admin-only groups.
Stories
In Signal, you can share stories with your friends, family, and acquaintances. With Stories, you’re the only one posting, and viewers can respond privately. You can share text, links, videos, and photos with your audience.
You can share stories with all your contacts, in groups, or set up custom stories for selected contacts. The latter can be used to create multiple broadcast lists. For example, you can create separate stories for family, friends, and colleagues. You can set up Custom Stories via Signal Settings > Stories > New Story.
Admin-only groups
To send regular messages to a large audience at once, you can also create a Signal group and adjust the permissions so that only the admin(s) can send messages. Other members can’t reply to the messages, except with emoji reactions. This lets you broadcast content to up to 1,000 people at once without receiving direct replies in the group.
Custom Stories and admin-only groups are effective ways to broadcast messages to selected contacts. Whether Signal will ever introduce true broadcast lists is unknown. If that happens, you’ll of course read about it on this website.
