"This is almost certainly poor wifi / cell coverage, not Signal having "hiccups" or "latency." I routinely have real-time texting conversations with friends and I can see the messages are "seen" almost instantaneously, half-way across the US."
Here in europe not so much. Most of the time it works somewhat instantly, but it too often happend, that a single message arrived a unknown time later.
It seems signal is optimizing for real time chat, so people do not notice, but sending a single message can be delayed. The thing is, it happened too many times already, that it arrived hours or days later, up to the point that I would not use Signal anymore for any important, time critical message.
- newaccount74 4y agoYeah, Signal is definitely not a reliable messenger. I've also had messages arrive with hours of delay. iMessage is way more reliable in my experience.
