(@MaikMuellerArt) reported
Hey @signalapp, why can't you, like other messengers, prevent your app from falling asleep (and not notifying about messages) on various android devices? This is seriously the only messenger I had to fix battery settings on friend's phones manually to keep it working normally.

@signalapp my friends are suddenly being spammed “chat session refreshed” and not receiving messages I have sent intermittently. What is happening, how to fix? Thanks!

(@abhijeet_ghosh) reported
@signalapp has stopped receiving messages or calls in the background. Only when I open the app, I get the messages and missed call notifications. Please fix this issue, as this has made Signal virtually useless. It seems to have started after the latest app update or iOS 15.

I love @signalapp's quote-tweet-like reply button so much that it feels like other tools (Google chat, Slack) are broken.

@signalapp I think there's a bug which cause the chat not to auto scroll down when new messages are send or resieved. Have you guys noticed?

@frigidcode @matrixdotorg @signalapp lol Frank you hate every piece of software. Are you sure this isn't a settings problem? I get all my notifications on iOS without fail.

@FormerlyStC @signalapp There is an option in settings "do not notify when contact joins signal" if understood correctly. Unless you meant using a login names instead of phone numbers for increased security (like in @myWickr )

@whatsabschalten @signalapp @mdlinington I figure that's no news for her, but yeah, there appears to be a background refresh issue in Signal, probably related to iOS15. Ping me if you need more intel.

@signalapp You do NOT need access to my contacts! I want to manually add only 2 contacts (out of thousands). The 2 highly private people already know my phone number & try to send me messages but I can’t see them due to NEW “signal needs access to all your contacts”BS. Wtf? Help!

@emilymiller @signalapp @ghc hi! this isn’t a hacking attempt, but I’d love to ask your help in debugging what might have happened here. my DMs are open, but I’ll send an email to the address on your twitter profile too. any bugs causing something like this should be updated in the most recent app releases.

@signalapp @ghc Sharing PDF in Signal is not viewable or downloadable. I think that's a big problem. Let's solve this problem.

.@signalapp took a backup on v5.22.8 of the Android app, and tried migrating to a new phone with backup file and recovery code, and I'm getting a "can't recover backup from a newer version of Signal" error Both were updated to the latest version (no beta) Any advice?

@mediafinger @signalapp But no, those other options don’t exist. And they know it and mention it on their help page. So at least I don’t spend the day digging in vain for a solution that doesn’t exist.

(@encthenet) reported
I have no clue what solved it, if it was the new signal-cli that I installed, or reregistering my phone. This is the problem that even @signalapp is centralized for it's directory service, and can DoS users, by doing things like unregistering users and the like.

@FormerlyStC @signalapp Unfortunately not. If your contacts have open signalapp, they will see if you have signal by blue send button (they don't know if u r online or your status like in WhatsApp). I agree that using login name in any messaging system provides more privacy than using phone number.
