    My biggest issue with Signal is that it doesn’t reliably work. I’ll message back and forth with a friend on there and then receive a text message a week later asking why I’m not responding on Signal. And it’s because I didn’t receive the messages.

      That’s really weird. I use it for my out-of-band chat for work since we all mute our Teams after hours. It’s been reliable the entire 3 years we’ve been using it. Maybe I’m just really lucky?

      Do you have google play services installed? If not, your power optimisation settings might prevent signal from running in the background, which it needs to to receive messages
