It's a shame that Signal has discontinued its support for normal SMS, hadn't implemented RCS, is spending too much effort on "stickers" and now keeps prodding you to donate money. Then there's the broken notification with iOS users who just don't find out that you messaged them until they launch the app.
As a direct result my use of Signal has pretty much ceased.
I can't blame them for asking for money, it's a free app but it isn't free to run.
That said the notifications are royally annoying. My partner has an android, but calls almost never come through and messages are hit and miss.
Same here re. calls not sounding. Or lately, the call connects, but my mic doesn't work. We have to hang up and call back, then it'll work. Infuriating.
