Signal Stories is making its way to the private messaging app, with the first hints appearing in the current beta version. Stories was initially offered on Snapchat many years ago, and it was eventually adopted by Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

So it appears that Signal does not want to lose out on having this option for its customers, which is why Stories is now available on Signal. Stories for Signal will be available in Android beta version 5.52 and iOS beta version 5.57. Stories essentially enable you to share movies, photographs, or even text with anyone on your contact list for 24 hours before they disappear.
