Might be a good idea to create a feedback bot/channel that is auto joined on signup, to make it easier for people to submit feedback to us. Could be beneficial at least for the beta.

In the desktop application we allow the users to set the nickname of their contacts.
By default this nickname is preferred over the users display name which is preferred over their pub key.

The user pub key should also be shown while nickname or display name is being shown.

since 1.0.6 update from today on ios, no messages goes through in note to self and so the sync with session-desktop on windows doesn't work from ios to PC.
it works from PC to IOS but when the message is landing on the ios device the device crashes.

Long time also at encrypting the message and tracing a path steps.
Maybe it's just temporary

I know the official Signal app will probably never provide support for this, as it’s been a highly requested feature on their forms for years, and they still haven’t done anything about it.

Can you please add the option to save an offline backup or make these files available within iTunes when doing a local backup? Or maybe even offer to do end-to-end encrypted backups through iCloud using CloudKit? I’m not a dev, so I don’t know the best way to do this, but having no backup options to migrate your messages to a new iPhone when you have to trade in your old phone or it gets damaged is a huge oversight by the native Signal app, and I hope you can improve upon this.

Thanks!

Describe the bug
Mobile can't join current version of open group server. Desktop is fine.

Going over the server logs: iOS seems to be using an invalid token and not refreshing the token. Server is returning a 403 for GET /channels/1

I can hack around the 'invalid token' to pass the /channels/1 check but mobile still continues to send an invalid token, even after that. Even if I return a 401 instead of a 403.

Also I've seen requests to //loki/v1/get_challenge which are not (/no longer) valid but even if I patch up the server to support them, iOS still can't join

Android seems to also have the same behavior.

I just can't prompt iOS to get a proper/correct token

Will update issue as I learn more.

Reported issue

After pairing an iPhone with a Desktop client, where the iPhone is the primary device, the user was getting send failed consistently, he was able to receive messages and send into the open group. Both his iOS device and desktop were showing no paired devices, despite him never unpairing the devices

This is a feature request to add the ability to support multiple different session ID's, along with the ability to setup and manage their own separate contacts and group associations.

I appreciate the privacy focused direction of this project, but having it be necessary that users consolidate all their communications under a single identity still results in an unnecessary consolidation of risk.

Describe the bug

Primary device A1 = Desktop
Secondary device A2 = iOS or Android
Different cases are happening when unpairing:

1. A1 unpair successfully (= secondary device is removed from the Devices list), but A2 isn’t unpaired. A1 received a message “Error handling incoming message” from an unknown user (see screenshot).
2. A2 unpairs successfully (= clean start + “Device Unlinked” notification) but the Device is still in the Devices list in A1 despite it has notified that the device has been unlinked. Sometimes the “Error handling incoming message” happens as well.
3. No issue.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Cases 1 or 2 described above are not happening every time, but that scenario is quite good, especially with A2 = iOS:
B1 = other device friend with A1.
Scenario:
I had a Desktop device A1 with 1 conversation started with B1. I is not mandatory to have the part with B1, but I noticed a higher rate of error cases.
Pairing A2 to A1. Once the linking process is done, sending a message from B1 to A1, wait it arrives on A2 (it’s likely to be the ‘Please accept…’ message) and then unlink the secondary device.

I can't send a screen shot unless I reinstall but it's on the initial screen that asks if you wish to create or restore the account.

The header text overwrote the body text and a similar situation occurred with the footer.

Dead link.

Currently we use regular polling, but we should switch to long polling like it's done on the desktop.

Received a report about the lack of Accessibility of Session for Blind/Deaf users

Sadly, Signal, the chat application you based Session on, already has the following accessibility issues:

• The "move to last message" button is unlabeled for the blind. When focus moves to that button, VoiceOver, the apple-integrated screen reader, only announces "button"—and that's what gets displayed on braille displays as well. Session inherited this issue.
• The attachment menu is accessible, but ALL submenus are NOT. Certain actions can get performed, but ultimately sending an attachment is impossible. Also, many icons have "bad" names: "ic flash mode off button", for instance, or "X button" to close a submenu. Session inherits these problems.
• Actions such as reply, forward etc. are not accessible for the blind. Session probably inherits these problems, provided it implements these actions.
• Media in chat histories are not accessible, nor are media-related actions such as safe or forward. Session probably inherits these problems.

Additionally, Session has the following accessibility-related issues:

• Focus is trapped on the chat history. I cannot access settings, the box to send session requests, or anything other than already existing chats. The only way I can start a action with someone else is if they reach out to me first, and even in that case I have to write my session ID down somewhere, because I can't access that in app, either.
• The "submit" button is unlabeled if the text input for messages is empty, and turns to "UpArrowDarkMode button" when there's text in the text input.
• Options to choose certain things, like which notification-type should get used, probably only use a visual selection indicator. Consider using native radiobuttons/checkboxes or related equivalents, or at least set the accessibility roles and attributes appropriately.

Option to enable per contact / chat?

I am wondering if there would be a way to add a feature where the sender, in a P2P/Group conversation, could be alerted if a recipient of a message took a ScreenShot, Copy/Pasted text etc...? This would not need to be a push notification, just something within the app alerting the sender.

I know Wickr has this functionality, but being as I am not a dev, I’m not sure how difficult this would be to implement.

Thank you for this great project and keep up the wonderful work!

GIFs over a certain length (size) fail to send. An assumption is made that this is because of a file size limit. A large percentage of GIFs are over the curently imposed limit.

Increase GIF file size limit so that the vast majority of GIFs can be sent.

1.) Some GIFs fail to send while some send with no problem. Perhaps a size limitation?

2.) GIF metadata warning message should be present for the first time you send a GIF, not every time. Perhaps a tick box “Do not show this message again” can be useful.

3.) Profile picture should be displayed at the top of a Session/Group chat to the left of the Name.

4.) Original message not found error when the original message is clearly still visible. Screenshot 1.

5.) If you mute a session/group it shouldn’t permanently say that it is muted under the group name. That space should be reserved for group information such as member count. It looks very cluttered and the muted microphone icon is indication enough. Screenshot 2.

6.) Old Loki messenger icon displayed above session when it is in the app tray. Screenshot 3.

If a node fails when fetching swarm, we should remove it from memory so we don't use that node again

When trying to initiate a conversation with an invalid pubkey, it just says "invalid pubkey" which isn't very helpful.

We should give some visual feedback before hand as well as have descriptions such as "Invalid length" or "Not hex characters" etc...

Notifications out of the app does not say when you have a message.

Must open the app and select a contact. Write to a contact. Even if the contact answer you and if the app is closed, you will not have the notifications.
