What's new
The latest improvements to Signals, and what they let you do.
New capabilities land in Signals regularly. Most of them are things you asked for that now simply work—so here's what changed, framed by what you can do with it, with a link to the full guide for each.
July 2026—Send to your whole list
The biggest update to broadcasts since they launched, plus more room to work and better support for shared phones.
Send to your whole list
Broadcasts used to stop at 25 recipients. Now a single send can reach hundreds.
A large send paces itself—roughly one message every 12–20 seconds. That's deliberate: sending a few hundred texts in a burst is what gets a business number flagged and filtered by carriers, so Signals spaces them out to keep your number healthy. A 500-recipient send takes a couple of hours, and it keeps going on its own even across that whole window—you can close the tab and come back.
A few things worth knowing:
- Nobody gets texted twice. Even if a send is interrupted and resumes, each contact is messaged at most once.
- It stops itself when it should. If your number's registration lapses, your daily carrier allowance runs out, or you run low on credits, the send pauses with a reason you can act on—and resumes once you fix the cause.
- A count means it actually sent. The "sent" number only ever counts messages that reached the carrier. A demo send is labelled as one.
The recipient limit is set per account by your platform owner. If you need to reach a larger list than your account currently allows, ask them to raise it.

More room to work
The sidebar now collapses to a slim icon rail when you want the full screen for a conversation. Hover it and it peeks back open, so every page is still one glance away—nothing is buried.

Households and shared phones
Sometimes one phone number belongs to more than one person—a parent booking for two kids, a caregiver handling messages for a relative. You can now link those people to whoever holds the phone and label who each incoming message is about, all in one thread, so your team always knows who they're really talking to.
