Re:Worried About the Privacy of Your Messages? Download Signal by ashark on Thursday December 08, 2016 @11:47AM (#13131633)
I just tried out Signal earlier this week with my wife and a friend.

The friend had a crash shortly after opening it on iOS, but it went OK after that.

You can't paste or drag in images directly on any client, as far as I can tell.

The "desktop app" is a Chrome app (not even Electron). Not loving that.

There were some hiccups with contact syncing.

It decided it should be responsible for alerting me to receiving ordinary phone calls (!?) on my iPhone, for some reason, which was annoying.

We abandoned the experiment pretty quickly :-(

[EDIT] it also lacked nice-to-haves one might be used to from other messengers, like auto-emojification.
