Signal introduces the ability to create links to calls and reuse them. The messenger has also received the functions of raising a hand, emoji reactions, and a separate tab for tracking calls.
The Signal messenger is making a number of improvements to calls to make them more competitive with Zoom and Google Meet, including the ability to share a link to a call, UNN reports with reference to The Verge.

Previously, you could only initiate a call from within Signal's group chat, so this new feature should make it much easier to get on the phone with a friend or colleague by sending them a link inside or outside of Signal. It will also be possible to reuse the link for calls, which can be handy for recurring work meetings or weekly chats with family.
During calls, Signal also received some updates, including a “raise your hand” button to let people know you have something to say and emoji reactions.
The app now has a tab just for tracking your calls, which can be useful if you want to see your call history.
The new calling features are available in the latest version of Signal for Android, iOS, and desktop.
