@Signalapp Please make it so that if somebody doesn't actually have service, the audio call won't play the ringing sound. It's annoying that I'll think somebody is ignoring me when in fact, their phone never rang in the first place because they didn't have servce. #Signal

@patrickhanft @signalapp hi Patrick, signal isn't designed for this. if u find sth important n wanna jot down, there r 2 options to go: 1. copy to the "note for self" 2. copy to the "description" under the related person's chat box name both won't disappear untill u delete it.

@sysop_host @signalapp I get that message sometimes when the phone has first booted, figured it was something to do with not being able to access content that is set to be inaccessible until first login

You know what I like about @signalapp? It's inclusive. As long as you have a supported version of Android or iOS it works. It's a party where everyone is invited. I turned off iMessage on my devices because I was tired of a service that worked for half the people I know.

Will @signalapp ever be able to overcome the 100 MB attachment limit? It's been THE issue that repel people, who I usually try to talk into using signal app, from using the app. Its really pointless for me to use signal if i still have to use whatsapp to stay in touch with them

@signalapp @KultureShop Chinese government has blocked all SMS sent from abroad to mainland China. We people living in China can't receive any SMS from abroad. So we can't use signal. Please find a solution to solve this problem.

@signalapp could you please look into the feedback sent a few days ago regarding Signal-iOS slowing down and overheating an iPhone 12? I think it might be caused by frequent network disconnects, but not sure. I would much rather be using Signal than iMessage

@signalapp hi Team I am noticing a delay of message from your app for the past week. The message I receive are not showing up at the time I receive them but they would pop up randomly all at once at a much later time. Please help to investigate as it is quite annoying.
