In addition to public beta features, Signal introduced an internal \u201cLabs\u201d environment in March 2026, where pre-release features are tested. In this article, we take a closer look at Signal Labs and which features may be coming to Signal in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Signal Labs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Labs contains pre-release features that are only available to internal testers. This allows the Signal team to test new ideas more quickly without rolling them out directly to a public beta. The <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/blob\/54df95727b5fc4c8503e71dddcd57fb596b06981\/app\/src\/main\/java\/org\/thoughtcrime\/securesms\/components\/settings\/app\/labs\/LabsSettingsFragment.kt#L84\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/blob\/54df95727b5fc4c8503e71dddcd57fb596b06981\/app\/src\/main\/java\/org\/thoughtcrime\/securesms\/components\/settings\/app\/labs\/LabsSettingsFragment.kt#L84\">Signal codebase<\/a> emphasizes that these features are all in various unfinished states. Some still require further development, final design work, or cross-platform compatibility (iOS, Android, Desktop) before they can be released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike most beta features, it is therefore uncertain whether and when these Lab features will be released. However, the fact that Signal is actively working on and testing them internally suggests they may be rolled out at a later stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only the Android version of Signal currently includes Labs features, so the descriptions below apply specifically to Android. In practice, new features are often tested on Android first due to its more flexible development and testing environment. Once features are officially released, Signal aims to make them available across all platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the moment, there are seven features in Labs. Below we describe their current state. As mentioned, these features are experimental and may still change significantly over time or even be removed entirely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starred messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most interesting Lab features in Signal&#8217;s codebase is \u201cStarred messages\u201d (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/48374e69509e284aec4a628f1546d047033af86b\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/48374e69509e284aec4a628f1546d047033af86b\">48374e6<\/a>). This allows you to mark specific messages so you can easily find them later. Once you star a message (long-press message > context menu > Star), a star icon will appear in the message bubble. All starred messages can then be found via a new option in the three-dot menu in the chat list. In individual chats, they can be accessed via \u201cStarred messages\u201d in the chat settings. Of course, you can remove the star at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Messages will only be able to be starred for yourself, and others will not be able to see that you have marked a message. The ability to mark specific messages as favorites is a highly requested feature among users, so we hope Signal continues to work on it soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to highlight a message for both yourself and others in the chat, you can already use the <a href=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/de\/news\/signal-fuehrt-angepinnte-nachrichten-ein\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/news\/signal-introduces-pinned-messages\/\">pinned message<\/a> gearbeitet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Story archive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Lab feature is a Stories archive. Normally, stories disappear automatically after 24 hours, both for you and for your contacts. However, sometimes it can be fun or useful to look back at your own stories later. GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/e7d1db446b821bd107c38465b29671a16b2bae25\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/e7d1db446b821bd107c38465b29671a16b2bae25\">e7d1db4<\/a> shows that Signal is working on this feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it currently appears, a new option called Archive will be added to the story settings. If you enable this option, your sent stories will be saved after they leave the active feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"335\" height=\"719\" src=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-story-example.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-story-example.png 335w, https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-story-example-140x300.png 140w, https:\/\/aboutsignal.com\/files\/signal-app-story-example-6x12.png 6w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 335px) 100vw, 335px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Beispiel-Story in Signal<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Der Quellcode deutet au\u00dferdem darauf hin, dass du ausw\u00e4hlen kannst, wie lange deine Stories gespeichert bleiben sollen: f\u00fcr immer, ein Jahr, sechs Monate oder drei\u00dfig Tage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Du wirst das Archiv au\u00dferdem nach \u201e\u00e4lteste zuerst\u201c oder \u201eneueste zuerst\u201c sortieren k\u00f6nnen. Zus\u00e4tzlich lassen sich Stories weiterhin manuell aus dem Archiv entfernen \u2013 entweder einzeln oder indem du mehrere Stories gleichzeitig ausw\u00e4hlst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Individual chat plaintext export<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal recently added the ability to export your full chat history on Android and Desktop (Settings &gt; Chats &gt; Export chat history). These exports are available in a machine-readable JSON format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internally, Signal is testing the ability in Labs to export individual chats and groups as well, but in a plain text (.txt) format (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/2b163a9acd835e046b8d09190b1c40c28545334f\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/2b163a9acd835e046b8d09190b1c40c28545334f\">2b163a9<\/a>). In chats and groups, a new option will be added to the three-dot menu in the top-right corner. You will be able to export chats with or without media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exporting chats makes it easier to store and review conversations outside the app, for example for archiving purposes. Of course, it is important to store these exports securely and not share them with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Incognito mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A notable Lab feature is an incognito mode (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/b62b5ea8efa9ce3893d8c7b150bc624d92ae3c76\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/b62b5ea8efa9ce3893d8c7b150bc624d92ae3c76\">b62b5ea<\/a>). When you long-press a chat or group in the chat list, an option will appear to open it in incognito mode. Messages will not be marked as read and no read receipts will be sent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On iOS, a similar feature already exists, but it works differently. On iPhone, long-pressing a chat only shows a preview of the latest messages without sending read receipts. The Labs incognito mode is more advanced and will allow you to scroll through the entire chat without letting others know you&#8217;ve read the messages. Unlike the iOS preview, this is a full reading mode rather than a quick preview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incognito mode is especially useful if you normally have read receipts enabled but want to temporarily disable them for a specific chat or group. If you want to disable read receipts for everyone, you can already do so via Settings &gt; Privacy &gt; Read receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Group suggestions for members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internally, Signal is also testing group suggestions (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/9de75b3e1fe3667d6beb7ff2653c9110538aa3c9\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/9de75b3e1fe3667d6beb7ff2653c9110538aa3c9\">9de75b3<\/a>). When you create a new group and select exactly the same members, existing groups with those members will be suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This helps prevent duplicate or unnecessary groups. By tapping a suggestion, you can immediately open the existing group and continue the conversation there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improved search function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind the scenes, Signal is also working on an improved search function. The search field will include a new filter button (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/7253aaaa14066e4301847837eed8b78d2758375c\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/7253aaaa14066e4301847837eed8b78d2758375c\">7253aaa<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will allow you to search within a specific date range and\/or filter by author name, making it easier to find older messages or specific conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Suggestion to lower raised hand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The final Lab feature is a prompt (toast notification) to lower your raised hand when you are speaking in a group call (GitHub commit <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/b6f98521c81981354ab1cf0a2105122bb3b739b4\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/github.com\/signalapp\/Signal-Android\/commit\/b6f98521c81981354ab1cf0a2105122bb3b739b4\">b6f9852<\/a>). This helps prevent your raised hand from staying active while you are already speaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Verf\u00fcgbarkeit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As mentioned, all features described above are currently available only internally and are not yet accessible to regular users or public betas. They are in different stages of development and in many cases still require further refinement or cross-platform support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it is uncertain whether and when these features will be released, Labs provides an interesting glimpse into the new functionality Signal is working on behind the scenes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More new features<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to Labs features, Signal is developing more new functionality.
