The deployment of large-scale antenna arrays for cellular base stations (BSs), termed as `Massive MIMO', has been a key enabler for meeting the ever-increasing capacity requirement for 5G communication systems and beyond. Despite their promising performance, fully-digital massive MIMO systems require a vast amount of hardware components including radio frequency chains, power amplifiers, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), etc., resulting in a huge increase in terms of the total power consumption and hardware costs for cellular BSs. Towards both spectrally-efficient and energy-efficient massive MIMO deployment, a number of hardware limited architectures have been proposed, including hybrid analog-digital structures, constant-envelope transmission, and use of low-resolution DACs. In this paper, we overview the recent interest in improving the error-rate performance of massive MIMO systems deployed with 1-bit DACs through precoding at the symbol level. This line of research goes beyond traditional interference suppression or cancellation techniques by managing interference on a symbol-by-symbol basis. This provides unique opportunities for interference-aware precoding tailored for practical massive MIMO systems. Firstly, we characterize constructive interference (CI) and elaborate on how CI can benefit the 1-bit signal design by exploiting the traditionally undesired multi-user interference as well as the interference from imperfect hardware components. Subsequently, we overview several solutions for 1-bit signal design to illustrate the gains achievable by exploiting CI. Finally, we identify some challenges and future research directions for 1-bit massive MIMO systems that are yet to be explored.
