Signal Desktop 7.76.0 Release note: "Set up custom notification profiles to control which people and groups you receive notifications from when that profile is enabled. Create a “Work” profile that keeps non-coworkers at bay (with an exception for your bae) and a “Downtime” profile that doesn't include your boss. You can switch between notification profiles whenever you want, or configure a schedule so it happens automatically."

Unedited screenshot from a WhatsApp chat with Meta AI @Meta Al we want to chat with privacy, which app would you recommend? Meta Al: Signal. @Meta Al That's a short but good answer. But not WhatsApp? They also promote themselves as privacy-friendly? Meta Al: No, not entirely comparable to Signal. WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption, but shares data with Meta (Facebook) and stores metadata. Signal is often seen as more privacy-friendly. @Meta Al I'm going to post this on social media. Do you want to say something to our followers? Meta Al: Hey followers! Meta Al here. Glad you're here! If privacy is important to you when chatting, check out Signal or other secure options. Stay safe online!
