Do you guys think this person is onto something? Or are they just being paranoid?

Hopefully I'm not using a fake app... I'll answer questions.

edit: For people that didn't notice, that's the reddit chat, but that person told me I was using a posee just by the invite link so I thought the conversation was more important than my actual app. I wanted to see if I was missing anything, I don't think this person was onto anything and I have no idea where they got that information. I do know they're from India, kinda wierd.

Signal on Apple devices, beta user for many years. Struggling with storage space on Mac and iPad, looking for solutions please

Post with more details was removed, no idea why.

Is there an alternative to Signal that will let me upload SMS backups? I know they stopped doing so four years ago, and I'd really hate to lose 11 years of messages due to their incompatibility.

I am donating already every month. Signal, why do you tell me that I should donate?

Hello, is there a way to unlink my mobile number, now that you don't need one to have the app?

Someone texted e on signal saying this is their new CAD number. This was just after they changed their phone.

I am aware of safety number; but this CAD number is new to me and I could not find any info by searching online.

Cheers

Sometimes when I pause playback and resume later, it doesn't properly resume.

Either it starts from the beginning or a few seconds up to a minute earlier.

Anyone with similar issues?

I use a Pixel 8 with the latest version of Signal and Android.

video calls are very fragmented on both Android and iPhone now when I call my wife it's not smooth when she moves or walks. It's blocky. If that makes sense. Anyone else experiencing this?

I know that a lot of users are opposed to this but I find myself wishing there was a feature that would let users pause and resume a voice recording instead of only having the option to cancel or send the voice note. That's a big plus that WhatsApp has and I think it would make the user experience for people coming from WhatsApp even greater. I wonder if this is something the devs would ever consider.. I'm on iOS

Edit. Feature request was submitted by someone else already back in 2018. https://community.signalusers.org/t/pause-while-recording-voice-message/3357

Noticed this on the latest release.

After recording and submitting, it takes over a minute on my Pixel 8 until the spinning wheel disappears and the message got sent.

Who is ThoughtCrimes.org? And why can't I use the call or video chat features on her iOS

I keep noticing it happening with one person in particular and im wondering what it means

Anyone else having this problem lately. It's taking sometimes on the order of hours for messages to be delivered.

Please I hate them so much

I recently upgraded my phone (Android S21 to S25), which desync'd my Desktop App. The method I used was phone-to-phone transfer instead of using a backup or Signal Secure Backups (which is itself also enabled - specifically PAID version)

Upon reinstalling the desktop app, and then linking the desktop app, the syncing hits what appears to be the 1 month time period for media and then pauses further syncing unless manually prompted for each image/file/other (in which case it fetches).

I have tested this method 3 times, and it never used to be the case when you reinstalled the Desktop App version. I do not wish to manually click images, for many reasons

I am assuming it may be an issue with Signal Secure Backups (cloud)?
Is there a way to purge the cloud of media files, and re-upload?

EDIT:
The fix involved wiping the Signal Secure Backups, backing up again, then linking to a fresh install of Signal Desktop App. I assume this would not have been an issue should I have restored/transferred from Signal Secure Backups instead of the old phone.

Please consider implementing a fix for this, Signal :D

I do not need them downloaded to my gallery just to be visible int he app without having to double click every damn picture. This only happens on days where my ipad is off at night. The most recent ones show up fine, and if i scroll up to messages from 3 days ago, those load, but the previous day are always like this.

So far the only work around i found is deleting the entire app and all data. Redownload and resync (faster than individually clicking 30+ messages )

Sometimes this happens on PC version and less often on my iphone version, but every day on ipad version.

For reference, I use Signal for work chats, and so when i leave the office it looses wifi and i do not connect at home so when i come back in the morning, it doesn't auto download anything during the time when Signal .. well.. has no signal.

Hey, I have been using Signal on 2015 mac but Signal warned me that op system must be updated or else Signal will shut down. Well, op system is as up to date as it can be on this old laptop. What solution have others found?

In the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've noticed that voice notes take a lot longer to send. E.g. a 46-second note took 17 seconds to send; a 2 minutes and 13 seconds note took 50 seconds to send. Sometimes I'll record and send a note to one person and then forward it to someone else, and the app won't allow me to forward the note until it's gone through.

Has anyone else experienced this lately? If not, I'll need to see if the issue lies with my device (Galaxy S22 Ultra, Android 16, One UI 8.0). The notes still go through immediately on my desktop. Thanks!

Greetings everyone, most all the information is in the title. I've tried every solution from Google searches about adding rights to the Google photos folder and on and on and on without going into excruciating detail. I've tried all the suggested settings for Signal as well.

When I hit the plus key to send a photo from my gallery, in the Signal app, the only option that's available are Google Photos collection folders. There is a camera folder that contains the pictures I've taken from the last few days since I upgraded to the S26 from my A15 that is FUBAR. All of my photos were restored from the Cloud backup from Google Photos. I can access all the restored photos from every app but Signal. Furthermore, when I see the use other apps option the only app listed is Google Drive.

Seems relatively simple enough. However, all my other messaging apps work fine I'm able to access the Google photos in Discord, Reddit Google Chat etc. which indicates/verifies the permissions are correct.

The only work around I can find is going to Google photos and do a share to Signal, which works but that's not the issue. Not a huge deal but obviously something's wrong.

Everything's up to date from the Android software to the Signal software to the Google Photos software on and on and on. I'm at a loss any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the long post it's kind of a rant as well.

Recently when trying to make a signal audio call my friend will answer and the signal app says something like “Answer, Securing…” but it never secures and ultimately never connects.

This has been going on for a few weeks.

I’m on iPhone, my friend on Android.

Anyone else with this issue?
Any ideas how to fix?

I'd like to know if a virus or spyware can be transferred to a new device if the chats/data were originally uploaded from an infected device.

Hi Signal developers I don’t know if it’s the right place or not. Could us who use OpenBSD also get a desktop app or at least web access. You supposed to be all in on privacy ?

Hi everyone. Is there any estimated timeline for the stable release of Signal’s numberless feature on iOS? I’m wondering when iPhone users might be able to use Signal without registering with a phone number, or whether
