Installed the @FlatpakApps version of @signalapp for Linux on my openSUSE desktop and Fedora desktop. During initial setup, both finished the "Syncing Groups & Contacts" but none of my contacts are there? This has never happened to me before. Is there an issue with the Flatpak?

@signalapp The signalapp on my phone (iPhone SE) has stopped sending push notifications some time ago and I can’t fix it. Have you heard of this problem or how to solve it?

@signalapp On Desktop (Windows 5.10.0) I accidentially archived a pinned chat. Moved it back to the inbox, now cannot pin it again and get an error message "can only pin 4 chats", which I understand, but I only have 3 chats pinned. Can I reset/change the "pinned chats" manually?

Stupid @signalapp desktop app is broken beyond repair. One by one my devices ask me to re-link with my phone for no obvious reason. Message history and everything is lost on the desktops then. Not the first time and I guess not the last time I guess 😡

A good way to solve this problem is to only use apps that are cross platform like @signalapp or @WhatsApp. The new Google Messages app will also be cross platform.

@passthejoe @FlatpakApps @signalapp Yeah, this is strange. I've never had this issue with Signal Desktop before. And it's happening on the desktop and laptop, running two different distributions.

@signalapp I finally figured out what I dislike about the new color changes in Android. Why am I a different color in every chat, but every distinct person I talk to is the same gray? I get the problems with generating distinct colors, but shouldn't my bubbles be a constant?

@signalapp does desktop version help? (only think of highlighting whole conversation from desired chat on desktop version, then copy&paste)

@signalapp love your app! I have some audio issues when video calling between android and iOS: when I pick up a video call, the audio plays like a regular call (muffled). I have to hang up and call back to get the audio video

@signalapp I no longer get notifications that I’ve received a message on my signal app. Seems to be a common problem. Is it an app update issue?

@natrolleon @signalapp It's not the problem of me using it. It's the problem of iPhone users not receiving the texts I texted a girl I know and she didn't receive the messages on her nomal message app until she downloaded Signal. And when she texted her Mom using signal, her Mom didn't get her texts

Hey @signalapp. Trying to make a group chat w/some friends. Signal is giving me the error of “these persons don’t support New Groups”. One of the two just downloaded the app, so it shouldn’t be out of date. Ideas?

@signalapp will there be a fix for sending videos from Android to iOS at some point? Works fine from Windows to iOS but not android to iOS.

Hi @signalapp, can I ask support?Every time I update the app on the "main" device (iOS) the used space by the app itself (not the data,which are few MB) increases with no reasons (i'm near 3GB).On the linked device instead the situation is ok: Why? How to fix and avoid data loss?

@signalapp why wont you fix the problem with disappearing messages? I hate how the other person can turn the feature off and also the fact that onyl when i start conversations, the messages can be deleted with a set timer- like what if the other person messages me first? thats a problem.

@EdwardFerguson_ I don't blame you wish I could but too many stubborn friends and craft groups on there that won't switch to twitter. Similar problem with FB messenger I genuinely wish people would embrace @signalapp but I've been told by a friend not going to as all my friends on FB messenger

@Apple and @signalapp with the speed at which data is moved today, there is absolutely no good reason you can give me as to why I can’t edit a text message in I-messenger or Signal after I hit send. Fix it now!

@CinnamonMelody2 @signalapp Same thing is happening to me. My message won’t deliver until the recipient opens the app. Stated doing this out of nowhere. Please fix this @signalapp

@signalapp why notifications of signal don't work. The first time I installed this app it gave me no notifications. It gave sometimes only when it was running in background or else I wouldn't receive any notifications. Later I deleted it because of notif issues.

6/ Some messaging apps like @signalapp are preventing this by using end-to-end encryption, meaning they don't have access to the users' actual messages. The issue however is that you can’t do much with the data, and thus most companies can't use e2e encryption.
