I don't get notifications on Signal. Android 6.0. Anyone else experience this?

No, notifications work for me. Android 7.1.1. Check out their support page for some ideas to fix this: https://support.whispersystems.org/hc/en-us/articles/2181125...

Yes, I have ensured all my settings are correct. I get notifications when someone "new" joins signal but not when a message comes through. Same issue with Telegram. I suspect it's an issue with Android notifications.

I did, the solution was to uninstall signal, install it again. Then head to the app section in android and make sure the notification permissions are enabled
