What do you mean it's a point-to-point mapping? Genuinely curious.
You mean that there is no server to buffer failed delivery attempts if one of the devices is off or disconnected?
(Side note, I've hit that the same bug where the other person has to contact me first because they don't show up in my contacts, even though they should.)
- newman314 11y agoIt's one device to one device (as stated elsewhere in this thread. Apparently, only Android+Chrome combo is supported for multi-device). Put differently, I can't register the same number to an iPad and iPhone simultaneously at this time and hope to communicate with someone. It apparently gets things all confused. I was doing some more testing and it also appears that I'm unable to call someone with a greyed out name but with available phone icon. Once again, no clear indication if this is a bug (not supposed to happen) or a feature (can call but not text).
- mapgrep 11y agoOh I see. That is indeed annoying. So I guess this bit from the desktop announcement is a stretch: "....all incoming and outgoing messages are displayed consistently on all your devices." I mean I guess if you ONLY have one phone and a desktop that would be true? And I guess if Signal only allows you to register those two things, it is TECHNICALLY true, in the sense that "all" <= 2

- frayesto 11y agoI have Signal on Chrome on multiple computers. It works just as expected with messages shared across Chrome and to the phone. It's all very fast and working quite well.
