I was a signal user until 2021, something glitched, probably because I had a weak data signal a few times so I thought signal was glitching so I abandoned it.

Well I need it again now because starting today July 6th Google is monopolizing all my native SMS apps and I don’t like the vibe of that and I do not agree to click agree to every step of the process Google taking over all my SMS activities.

As far as I know the only way to use Signal is if both communicating parties are both on signal, so how can I make this my main SMS app with businesses and everything & everyone who texts my main phone number?

I don’t have a lot of friends and so far I have one friend who agreed to go to signal with me, and I texted him and he didn’t respond so I thought he either ghosted me or it’s not working. How can I make signal work? It’s not working.

    When you sent your friend a Signal message, does it show 1. A spinning circle, 2. A single clear checkmark, 3. A clear double-checkmark, or 4. a filled-in double checkmark?

    1. Your message hasn’t made it to Signal’s servers; you have an internet issue.
    2. Your message went through Signal but hasn’t landed on your friend’s phone. Either they didn’t install the app or they have a connection problem.
    3. Your message made it to your friend’s phone but they haven’t read it.
    4. Your friend has read your message.

    Make sure your friend installed the app and launched it at least once!
