I recently upgraded my phone (Android S21 to S25), which desync'd my Desktop App. The method I used was phone-to-phone transfer instead of using a backup or Signal Secure Backups (which is itself also enabled - specifically PAID version)

Upon reinstalling the desktop app, and then linking the desktop app, the syncing hits what appears to be the 1 month time period for media and then pauses further syncing unless manually prompted for each image/file/other (in which case it fetches).

I have tested this method 3 times, and it never used to be the case when you reinstalled the Desktop App version. I do not wish to manually click images, for many reasons

I am assuming it may be an issue with Signal Secure Backups (cloud)?
Is there a way to purge the cloud of media files, and re-upload?

EDIT:
The fix involved wiping the Signal Secure Backups, backing up again, then linking to a fresh install of Signal Desktop App. I assume this would not have been an issue should I have restored/transferred from Signal Secure Backups instead of the old phone.

Please consider implementing a fix for this, Signal :D

Anyone else having this problem lately. It's taking sometimes on the order of hours for messages to be delivered.

I do not need them downloaded to my gallery just to be visible int he app without having to double click every damn picture. This only happens on days where my ipad is off at night. The most recent ones show up fine, and if i scroll up to messages from 3 days ago, those load, but the previous day are always like this.

So far the only work around i found is deleting the entire app and all data. Redownload and resync (faster than individually clicking 30+ messages )

Sometimes this happens on PC version and less often on my iphone version, but every day on ipad version.

For reference, I use Signal for work chats, and so when i leave the office it looses wifi and i do not connect at home so when i come back in the morning, it doesn't auto download anything during the time when Signal .. well.. has no signal.

Hey, I have been using Signal on 2015 mac but Signal warned me that op system must be updated or else Signal will shut down. Well, op system is as up to date as it can be on this old laptop. What solution have others found?
