I really hate that the desktop app unlinks after a relatively short period of time. I rarely use Signal, so few of my friends are there, so I have to relink the desktop app almost every time I open it. I wouldn't mind scanning a qr code every now and then, but then the history refuses to sync because security. So far I haven't find how to change it.
The Android app is stable enough, but the UX of having to look at the phone while typing a reply on a normal keyboard is annoying. This is why I prefer Telegram every time.
- wccrawford 10mo agoI've got Signal on 2 computers, 1 of which I only run it occasionally. I've never had to reconnect it. I'm not sure what's going on for you, but it seems really abnormal.
- k1t 10mo agoIt automatically unlinks the desktop app if you don't open it for 30 days. There is now at least a reminder on the phone app that will prompt you a few days before one of your desktop apps is about to get unlinked.
