Similar here. Just an hour ago I had to jiggle Signal to send a message, their implementation is super wonky compared to whatever Wire, Telegram, Threema, etc. uses and it'll often not work for hours. There is also zero indication on when it works and when it's broken, to find out I have to send a test message in a group with only me in it, and then delete that six times if I want to clean it up (2 removals on 3 devices: long tap, remove, yes I'm sure, get a placeholder "this message was removed", long tap, remove that placeholder). Wire is a much better experience in that sense and has more features. But then those features each work just a little less well than they do on Signal. With the recently rolled-out conference calling they seem to have resolved one of the worst bugs: until a few months ago we'd often have one person not be able to hear another on a group call, while everyone else could hear them. Never had that problem on Signal. Or on iOS (unfortunately have to use that for work) it used to work fine, until an iOS update 2 years ago since which I have to open Wire (and leave it open) for it to download messages, which takes 5 minutes for 250 messages and in the meantime you just can't really use it. Notifications work, but it doesn't seem to download the contents. Signal updates fine on that iOS device, but then yeah on Android I have this other Signal connectivity issue so... pros and cons, pros and cons Overall though, compared to Signal, Wire is hugely underrated. It's just as good, if not better, but it just gets zero network effect. People are all on facebook's chat apps, and only if you're lucky Telegram and/or Signal, but Wire? Threema? Matrix?! Forget it :/. My family is now on Signal, I chose it for the network effect (so it would not be for only me, they would hopefully see more benefits than just talking to me), but it was quite a tough choice between mediocre choices after they were on Telegram for a while.
