>Not to mention the app is a buggy mess. At least on iphone.

If you think it's buggy on iPhone you have no idea what's going on on Android. The iOS venison is actaully the "polished " one as Signal devs daily drive iPhones.

I have used it on Android for years and on iOS since 2 months or so ago and I haven't encountered any bugs as far as I can tell. What am I missing?

Have someone call you on Signal. Missed calls galore. Also texts. It just dozez all the time (despite having been configured in Android to not let it sleep) and texts come late and calls get missed.

It doesn't "doze all the time" here, seems like you're blaming Signal when it's your phone's power management software not working as described.

The only people I know that have this kind of issue with Signal are all on Huawei phones, we've configured them and it's worked for a while but Huawei only seem to care about letting Facebook/Whatsapp/Teitter/etc.. run properly.

I have this problem on different Samsung phones. And I only ever had it with Signal, no other messenger.

I guess you already tried all this: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360028198711-Ph...

and assume you mean you've tried other somewhat-niche messengers, not just the major ones that get special treatment.

[hutzlibu]

A bit of it. But it is besides the point: A messenger, that is working reliable and intentionally designed for the masses - does not come with the need, to fiddle with configs, to get basic functionality working.

I do not like Meta, but I never experienced with whatsapp, that someone send a message and this message just vanishes, so the sender thinks he is getting ignored. But exactly this happened way too often with signal.

"What am I missing?"

Like the other poster mentionied, you might have missed, that you missed things. It is sadly unreliable for me, too, which is just unacceptable with a messenger.
