Hey just wondering if its a problem on my end but a self update notification indicating a newer version of signal keeps popping up. I already have the latest version of the apk, 6.40.4, installed from their website, but the notification does not go away. I click it and then it states the application has been updated but after a few minutes later it pops up again. Not sure where to ask this but I would assume this place is one of the best places to interact with people that also use signal’s non-playstore apk. Is this a bug on my end or are you experiencing it too?
Edit: forgot to mention I’m on grapheneos if thats a factor
Edit 2: apparently it was already reported on github and I missed it

Cant link it in an edit for some reason so Here’s the link to the github issue
Yes, I believe it has something to do with the new changes implemented because of the usernames.
Well, let them know about it, you have few options for that: GitHub, Official Forum or Signal Support website (how to get debug logs? read here).
There is also unofficial instance on Lemmy, cross post it over there.
I have the same problem on Signal (PNP), custom rom.
Really appreciate it, I didnt even realize they had an official forum
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !signal@lemmy.ml
Same on LineageOS. Force stopping the app and starting it again helps, but it will pop up again in some time. Helps if you find it annoying though.
Same for me, but so far I have no idea why it happens
Honestly just great to hear i’m not alone was really debating reinstalling
I had an update reboot pending and it seems like that got rid of it for me.
Nope… lasted all of 10 minutes.
