Opening up the picker for sending a picture was notably slow. Approximately a three second count from pressing the button to having the pictures available to choose from. Then similar occasional lags throughout the process (e.g. hitting "back" from a picture to return to the library and select a second picture).
By contrast, Telegram has a quick selection of the last few pictures available immediately, and the general picker opens quicker if you request it -- maybe because it's using the stock iOS picker rather than the custom one Signal implements?
Since sending a picture to a contact was a super common action of mine, this was incredibly frustrating.
Signal also had notification issues if I was running the desktop client at the same time. It'd sometimes clear notifications from my phone before I'd actually read them in either location.
- saagarjha 7y agoTelegram does not use the system iOS photo picker, since it asks for permission to access all photos on the system.
- kemayo 7y agoMight need that just for the initial recent-pictures bit?
- feanaro 7y agoThanks. I've never encountered either of those issues, possibly because I'm on Android. Specifically, the photo quick selection is instant for me.
