    Only issue I’ve had with Signal in the past is sync between desktop and mobile, is this still as bad as I remember?

      I use Signal as my main messenger and it works just fine. The only drawback is phone number requirement, but it is simpler for casual users. I’d really want them to add an alternative, more secure and private signup method.

      Personally I haven’t had issues with the Signal on various platforms since I started using Signal back in 2020.
