Signal-Android
Fork from the JohanW fork of Signal, a private messenger for Android. It adds the option to import Whatsapp conversations. The purpose of this fork is to make the transition to Signal easier. It was created out of a personal need and might not be supported or extended in the long run. (by jukefoxer)

Tell HN: Contributing to Signal iOS is a waste of time
The README says [1]:
> If your pull request follows all of the advice above but still has not been merged, this usually means that the developers haven't had time to review it yet. We understand that this might feel frustrating, and we apologize. The Signal team is still small, but we are hiring.
Again, this is how open source works. If you need the README to tell you "btw, we don't owe you anything, it is all best effort, and it may be that we don't have time to address your PR", then you haven't (yet) understood open source.
Don't take it personally, a ton of people complain like you do. Which is why I don't open source my code anymore. Then people can't benefit from it, but at least they won't annoy me.

Signal's Meredith Whittaker on the Telegram security clash
Signal apps and server are all on GitHub and frequently updated, for what it's worth: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Server https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS.

- Police used Cellebrite to break into my phone, how do I prevent this in the future?

Governments spying on Apple, Google users through push notifications -US senator
Fortunately, they did foresee this! The push notification only contains enough information to tell the phone that it should fetch the actual notification content from Signal's servers.
Here's a Signal dev talking about it on the Signal-Android GitHub: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/12961#iss...
And similarly for Signal-iOS: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/962#issuecomm...

Telegram raises $210M through bond sales
I also use both extensively and I agree, Telegram has the best UX of any messaging app. The desktop app is QT I think so it feels very snappy compared to Signal's electron app.
Signal's iOS app is a native Swift/UIKit app and open source however, so I'd encourage you to report any bugs or issues you find: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS

App crashes on open | iOS 16.5 | will stop donation
Yeah I was able to find a few tasks that might be similar to your issue, though I don't know the exact details how the app behaves in your case, as in if you get error message or something like in this issue, or if it just closes on open like in this issue comment. Regardless, the generated crash report from the phone itself is probably good to add in your email to support (which is different from the debug log, just to specify in case you have been sending only that, here's a link for more details).
