New Signal Contacts Not Appearing (lemmy.today)

submitted 2 weeks ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've been fairly successful at getting people to get on Signal of recent. However, I cannot find them in Signal to send a message. I'm on GrapheneOS, have them saved in the default contacts app (not something isolated like Fossify), and I have refreshed the contacts list in Signal. That doesn't work. So I type their number in the "find by phone number" and then all it offers is to "invite to signal".

Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? I'm trying not to lose people from the Signal train but this is a real turn off for normies.

Have you considered that they just told you they signed up?
