Ask HN: Signal on Android not receiving iPhone texts?

1 pointsby qqnalmost 7 years ago
I am sharing this partly to resolve it, partly to warn others to not rely on Signal until this is fixed. I set Signal up on my Pixel 2 (Android 8.1 but updated to 9 last week) as my default texting app. Over the past month I&#x27;ve missed SMS texts from at least two work colleagues&#x27; iPhones (and goodness know how many others). They do receive my texts though.<p>Has anyone else experienced this bug? Am I doing something wrong in setting Signal up as my default texting app? How can I fix this? Are there other apps I ought to use instead? I haven&#x27;t researched the stock Google messaging app but try to stay away from them as much as I can for privacy; is it pretty secure? In the interim I&#x27;m switching back to the stock Android texting app as default, and recommend others do the same. Delivered &gt; encrypted.<p>I have messaged Signal via https:&#x2F;&#x2F;support.signal.org&#x2F;hc&#x2F;en-us&#x2F;requests&#x2F;new and am waiting for a reply. A cursory search online shows no problems like this so far though.
