Signal Private Messenger

The UX design now went straight to the absolute bottom with the "stickers"-update. This unnecessary feature can't be turned off. The respective icon even takes up space in the already cramped text input area. Even on the left side where the main user focus is. Put it into the "+" menu where it belongs! 1 star until this madness is banned from the text input field and sanity is restored.

There's heaps of feedback already echoing the need to improve basic usability, privacy and security over... stickers. *100% agree with those!* So i'll use the rest of my words adding some subtle, easy to fix things that might be underrated: put a faint line to mark the border between each contact on the contact list. And soften that stark black and white contrasts in both the dark and light theme. Better UX (not stickers) can help adoption of signal and other privacy apps as default choices!

Good app totally spoiled by the notification settings. The app does not remember the selected tone and subsequently will make no sound when a text message or signal message comes in. Weirdly tho, if you are still in the app when you receive the message it works. I have checked the settings and sadly it only is a problem with signal so I am sticking with WhatsApp till it's resolved

The "make profile visible" issue is a constant source of frustration for all the users on my signal threads. On my (android) phone, I get a pop up window when I first join or start a thread which lets me make my profile visible but once done, there is no way view that setting. If you have several threads, it's hard to remember if you did that and impossible to verify that you did it correctly. We all end up spending a good deal of our time asking each other if you can see see my name and telling each other to access settings that either don't exist or are practically impossible to find. I think it may be different for iphone users because some on the thread swear that it's available any time but I've spent well over an hour on my phone trying every possible icon to no avail. Other users who don't have that problem are annoyed that they can't see my profile probably think I'm just not able to figure it out. Please just make a simple button in settings for all users of both platforms to make the profile visible!

Nice app, but needs some work. Had issues sending MMS initially. You can't customize your chat font, bubble style, or color. You can change individual chat colors, but there's no general setting to make them all share the same settings. You also can't use a swipe gesture to delete a message or thread - only to archive messages. This is annoying because it means I have to delete every conversation individually by opening it.
