"Messages getting lost entirely is a whole separate matter - so you got the two ticks telling you it'd been delivered, but nothing at the recipient's end? Was this a long time ago? I would stop using it too if I had that problem, I agree."
This is the matter I am mostly talking about. Everything else is annyance.
As far as I remember, it was mostly only 1 tick, but likely also an instance with 2 ticks (grey) - but no trace ever on the recipent.
It happened often during the peak of new users coming to signal, with the latest whatsapp drama ( I use signal since the beginning), but since then not that I am aware off. But it did erode trust for me and others, so I cannot safely recommend it anymore.
Whatsapp, being so popular, gets whitelisted. It has to work or people would be telling each other "don't buy Samsung!" (not unlike the situation with Huawai since the Play store got removed from their phones).
