I want to love Signal but is so hard to love at times: 1. The Signal backup restore process is ridiculous and kludgey. It took me quite some time to figure out how /Internal works on Android 9 devices using the files app for example. [1] 2. If your phone fails without a backup the only way to rejoin groups is having people post a message to each group. I wish there was a middle ground between full backup and dump my keys/group list.[2] 3. The Linux app will, at random, take minutes to load because it is loading 100s of messages. But, this happens even if I was running the app 5 minutes before. Watching the logs I see sqlite insertions happening no faster than 10 a second. The old web based Signal client worked great. I would love to have that brought back. On my wishlist, which I haven't posted anywhere publicly, includes: 1. Clicking a contact circle _should not_ show me the Android contact, it should show me a list of actions I can take in Signal instead: call, message, video call 2. Video conferences are often used with families. Please create a full screen video call mode that is friendly for parents with kids. This means that I can let my kid touch the screen and not immediately drop a call or switch apps. A full screen mode with optional pin or swipe pattern to exit would make me love the app forever. Also, for context, my experience comes from converting dozens of family members off of Whatsapp to Signal over the course of 6 weeks earlier this year. For the most part it has been fine but these sharp edges have caused me pain trying to support my family members. Whatapp lost my trust with the announcement of Fb messenger integration and the unencrypted backup to Google Drive. I am hopeful that Signal will improve overtime. However, the web client deprecation and my recent experience with the backup/restore process has me concerned.
