The link previews saved in the media was quite annoying, glad to see they address that.
Quick question for other signal users: if you have the app automatically lock after a moment, when you try to share something using signal and need to unlock the app in the process, do you find yourself having to attempt the share process twice as the first time requires the app to be unlocked before the sharing works? Not sure if what I'm saying is clear?
Yes. But it seems to have resolved itself in the last few months. I'm using Molly I'm not sure if that matters
When the phone is cold. I have to unlock the work profile, then unlock signal/molly. If I am sharing to a contact from the share quick contacts list, it seems to always work the first time.
If I'm sharing to a contact that I have to open signal to select it used to work 50/50 the first time, but sharing the second time after unlocking everything worked.
