      It depends on what is in the updates.
      The important thing is the security updates.

        Elk9877 we try to follow signal as close as possible. Currently we are undergoing some restructuring. We only really release immediately if there is a security issue wich signal fixed. That isn't the case for the last 8 updates.

          Understood. Do you know when you plan to make another release?

            Uhm, so... I tried using it, and maybe my fault but I tried logging in a few times, it took forever to load (the captcha for example took like 20s). In the end my Signal account was locked, no guide, no help, so I need to wait 6 days and try Molly again, account is gone.

              Exactly. Security updates should be the only thing anyone is concerned with. I hate when apps push updates such as "Changelog: - Added language support for Swahili. - Added language support for Xhosa. - Expanded emoji selection", basically nothing worth updating for. Such trivial updates should only occur when there is a security update included.

              I just downloaded Molly but it turns out I can't import my chat backup from Signal until Molly is updated, because it won't allow Backups from a newer version (seems like an artificial limitation but I dont know how to circumvent it).

                Elk9877 yes you have to wait till we catch up with signal.

                @Nuttso I guess the registration / Captcha loading / SMS verification just took very long, so I might have tried it multiple times. In the end Signal is blocked on all Apps and I need to wait for 6 days and my account is gone... So I will try to re-register with Mull, but yeah.

                Also I was not able to log out of my phone which is strange but I guess matches the "Signal runs on one phone and one phone alone" idea. So I might have tried to log in to a device while already logged in.

                  missing-root did you had a vpn or bad connection while you tried to switch? Because the captcha is server side.

                  Yes, VPN. Maybe they use some shady blocklists, they used Recaptcha and after lots of issues switched to hCaptcha as if that would be the solution
