When did you last try it? Startup speed of Signal-Desktop has been much improved in recent months, like, by an order of magnitude. Maybe give it another shot.

- fauigerzigerk 6y agoIt opens pretty quickly for me, but almost every time it wants to be re-linked to a mobile device. Signal is really annoying with all the things it wants me to do. Re-linking a mobile device. Re-entering a PIN/password for no reason other than to prove that I still know the password. And when I'm finally logged in it shows me a completely useless selection of mostly obsolete contacts.
- lorenzhs 6y agoI think you need to open it at least every other month or so, otherwise it loses the pairing. I've never had to relink a desktop instance under any other circumstances. You can turn off the PIN reminders in Settings → Privacy.
- fauigerzigerk 6y ago>You can turn off the PIN reminders in Settings → Privacy. Ah, that's good to know. Thanks!
- rconti 6y agoI feel like I'm constantly re-linking machines. I have 4 computers I use regularly, so it's a hassle. I can't say for sure if it's been a month since I last opened the app-- maybe a week or two, sure.
- jabirali 6y agoInteresting, it does indeed start in seconds instead of minutes now. That’s great! I also see that the other issues I noticed previously (high latency when typing, “compose key” not working) have now been fixed as well.
