Riddled with issues.

I’m trying super hard to get people to move from WhatsApp to Signal… but:

1. [BUG] Photo access permissions is an outdated mess - ironic, considering it’s supposedly a privacy focused app.
2. [BUG⚠️] Cannot find some contacts and they cannot find me, even though we both have each other’s numbers (critical).
3. [BUG] Swiping back home from a chat is much harder than it should be.
4. [BUG] Use the regular API for voice notes just like for video calls so that iOS “voice isolation” works (AUVoiceIO) (I have confirmed with apple that this is caused by signal using a different API).
5. [BUG] “Contact joined Signal” notification not being shown/sent.
6. [FEAT] Tapping on group profile photo should offer to view or edit it.
7. [FEAT] Send message silently
8. [FEAT] Schedule message delivery
9. [FEAT] Drag n’ Drop support to add images etc.
10. [FEAT] Saving group profile photo takes extra taps which can be avoided.
11. [FEAT] Tapping on profile photo on top left of home page opens a tiny menu, causing extra taps too.

I am an iOS Developer and would be honored to help implement these changes.

@Signal, the mic to you.

It should be noted that none of these are features that other apps have not accomplished already.

Behaving like a little children complaining because the toy he stole from the neighbour is broken is never helpful.

Grow up a spine, put your money where your mouth is, stop complaining. Do the effort of creating dedicated bug reports for the issues you are describing, instead of simply whining here and erasing the bug report template that would have allowed the developer to maybe understand what the fuck you are talking about. And which would avoid loosing time having people too nice to answer your rude message, like @incyi, come and ask for the actual needed informations.

Just don't post stupid claims like that, no need to brag. You're an iOS developer? Cool dude, you don't need no ones permission to start working on it and submit a pull request.
