Signal iOS adds group-ending controls, member search, and disappearing call events. Admins can now end groups for everyone, quickly find participants in group details, and manage calls that disappear on the chat timer, including missed, 1:1, and group calls.
End groups for everyone, member search & disappearing call events
End groups for everyone: admins can now end a group for everyone. After ending a group, members will no longer be able to send messages or start calls in the group.
A new member search option in group details lets you quickly find specific participants within a group. In the search results view, you'll have the option to add new members
Disappearing call events: call events now respect the disappearing timer of a chat and disappear too. For missed calls, the timer starts when the call is read. For 1:1 calls, the timer starts when the call is answered or declined and for group calls, the timer will start when the call is over.
