My main grievances with the Signal app are mainly centered around UI and UX, and features. Without trying to be mean, I think it's plain ugly and clunky. Features like live location or persistent multi-device messages etc will probably never be implemented with the current strategy of Signal.

The fact that this "improved" version does not show a single screenshot of the UI on their own website, signals to me (pun intended) that this app will address none of my wishes.





I searched so long for a single screenshot, looking at the app stores (in my browser) and Github with no success.

It really is weird not to show a single screenshot when the 4th listed feature is design ("Material You | Extra theme that follows your device palette").


Just installed it, it looks exactly the same, just a bit more purple theme

Really? Signal does everything I want from a messaging app. I can't imagine what could be better about its GUI. But I'm no GUI designer.

Came here to comment exactly this. Even opened github expecting to see something...
