Now all chats are automatically sync'ed in real time across devices, provided that those devices are all connected to the internet (otherwise they sync upon connecting to internet).

The only drawback I have found is that if desktop Signal is running on my computer, but I’m away somewhere else in town and have my phone with me, I miss calls (but not text messages). Only the Signal on my desktop rings when I’m called, while the phone doesn't ring.

Doesn't https://signal.org/blog/ice-forking/ deal with that? Hasn't it been implemented yet?

I've had the desktop app open all day, and answered a Signal call on my phone earlier. I'll do more tests.

EDIT: just tested it, phone rang, I answered on desktop. Seems to work as intended.

It doesn't ring but it shows an incoming call, however you can't pick up. The green button does nothing.

Sounds like a bug. You could contact [email protected]. I imagine they’d be interested.

You can disable receiving calls on your desktop in settings, I believe
