signal is testing a feature that allows you to send cryptocurrencies
Encrypted calling app Signal is testing a new UK privacy-focused payments feature in order to give users a viable alternative to WhatsApp Payments.
According to a new post, the app's latest beta update brings support for a new feature called Signal Payments, which allows you to send and receive payments via the platform using MobileCoin.

MobileCoin has a close relationship with co-founder and CEO of messaging app, Moxie Marlinspike, who advised the company ahead of its latest funding round announced last month.
The app has introduced several new features over the past two months to take advantage of the recent backlash against its biggest competitor, WhatsApp.

Signal also received a new backup feature that allows you to easily transfer chats to a new device.
