Signal has expanded its multi-device functionality to allow users to connect multiple phones to a single account, a feature previously unavailable on the encrypted messaging platform.
The update enables users to link additional smartphones—both Android and iPhone models—alongside their primary device, complementing Signal's existing support for connected computers and tablets. This capability allows messages and notifications to sync across all connected phones, enabling users to access and respond to conversations from any of their linked devices.
The expansion addresses a gap in Signal's multi-device ecosystem, as the service previously only supported connecting non-phone devices to a primary smartphone account. With this update, users now have greater flexibility in managing their messaging across multiple phones simultaneously.
Signal has also introduced controls allowing users to customize which devices receive notifications and how information is shared across their connected phones. The feature is designed to maintain Signal's focus on privacy and security while providing users with convenient cross-device access to their encrypted messages.
