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. 😀 👍

    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.
