This isn’t an ad, I wasn’t paid for this post. Just to clear the air: fuck facebook, fuck elon musk and twitter, fuck anyone who thinks this is a paid advertisement. I wish I was paid for this shit, I just wanted to spread the word. Thank you. 😀 👍
I am a fan of Signal but mine has been broken for like six months now. Anyone else getting this bug? I try to open it and get an error ‘Couldn’t open Signal, send a bug report to troubleshoot’ etc. I sent the bug report to the developer team at the address provided but they couldn’t really figure it out. I’ve tried deleting the app and reinstalling and all that to no avail.
Ran into the same kind of issue when I switched phones. Closest thing I could find to a solution since it seemed to have something to do with the size of my “backup” was to wipe everything and restart. sooo I just wiped everything and went to RCS
Oh that’s strange, I’ve been daily driving signal since a year now. I’ve grown to like it more and more with each update
Agreed. Works perfectly well for me too. If only I could convince more people I know to use it…
What OS and phone?
It’s an iphone 8, almost six years old now, running iOS 16.4.1. I emailed the dev team at signal and corresponded a bit; basically they said they looked at it but can’t spare the resources to do any real troubleshooting. Apparently it’s a really small company which is fair enough. A new phone would probably fix the issue but I dropped a thousand bucks on this phone and I plan on using it until it dies or until I lose it, whichever comes first so…
I’m not sure it’s the phone. I’m using a 1st gen iPhone SE on 15.7.7 and it works fine. I’d suggest a factory reset but that is a lot of hassle or at least update to the latest iOS 16.5.1 and see if that helps.
