Hey Matt, what about import SMS from the native app to Signal, perhaps, would you know how to do it?

[@GeniusLounge]

I don’t know how. I think perhaps that the messages are there, but you need to start a conversation with that person and they’ll show up.

Help ! Have tried to get past verification stage but phone just hangs when after entering cty code plus number. I have tried 9 times to install via PlayStore and directly via website. Ensured access/setting privs are ok. Have a old Galaxy 6s with upto date android os. No error message just loops around as if is trying to connect to a server.
Any ideas ?

You never get the verification code? Or the prompt to enter it?
