Second that. I hear back my own voice, it drains the battery and the connection is almost always choppy.

I wanted to be able to use Signal to replace whatsapp, telegram and FB messenger. I've convinced some of my friends to install it, but none of them are happy with it.

On both mobile and desktop sometimes messages take hours to appear and on mobile it reserves ~2GB of storage for no apparent reason.

I trust that people behind Signal are brilliant got the security right, but the UX is simply not there yet.

2 GB on a fresh install? That would be definitely a bug. Did you check the storage usage (settings, storage)? Is it there as well?

Your debug logs would also be welcome for messages taking hours to appear. For mobile it's usually something with battery savings or FCM. For desktop that's the first time I read about that, are you sure that the messages had actually been sent?

I feel that for mobile it is still not as reliable as WhatsApp, but for desktop it's nice to be able to get your messages without mobile connection.

In case the storage is due to numerous messages and media, you have the option to limit the number of messages saved for each conversation, default is no limit I think.

It was indeed mostly media. There doesn't seem to be an option to limit the maximum size for media, or for remote backups.
