Signal: This is how you pixelate faces in pictures

HOW DO I EDIT PICTURES WITH PHOTOSHOP

You can easily pixelate or make unrecognizable people on images sent with Signal with a built-in feature. We show how to do it.

Signal is becoming increasingly popular as a WhatsApp alternative thanks to many practical features. One of them is the pixelation function for photos with faces.

WhatsApp only offers such a feature for pixelating faces in the iOS version. The majority of users with Android devices have to make do with external apps.

Pixelating, blurring, or otherwise hiding faces can make sense for a number of reasons. On photos shared with only casual acquaintances, you protect the privacy of other people or of yourself.

Especially from large groups with many members, photos that should actually remain private can easily reach the public. By pixelating the face, you don’t have to worry about it.

Signal uses a soft-mark filter with automatic face recognition or manual operation using a swiping gesture.

Expiring messages are also a good idea for protecting Signal privacy. Shared texts, images and videos can then automatically disappear from chats after a specified period of time.
