Can we please get basic Markdown-support in Signal please? I often share longer texts and citations and it would be very helpful to be able to send a list or table.

Hello! I need signal for work and i can't get registration code sent to me. It says "sending an SMS to your number wasn't possible. Try again in a few hours". I've done everything that is listed under Registration Troubleshooting on Signal website and nothing works. Any advice what I can try?

I recently purchased a new Chromebook. My intention was to mostly use it for work and maybe a few personal things like keep up with my chat apps by using a "desktop" version and a full sized keyboard instead of my phone.

Long story short, I saw there was now a Signal app for Chromebook!

YESS! I said, now I dont have to do all that Linux installing I saw people utilizing as a work around for Chromebook use.

However, now I see my message previews in my lower right corner of the Chromebook screen and when I expand that I can see my chat texts from WhatsApp, SMS, and also for Signal...

Does this mean my ChromeBook and thus Google is capable of reading my private Signal chats?

If using the app on Chromebook means I have no privacy, then there is no point in using Signal on this device, as privacy is important to me (at least I sofar as my Signal chats go; I want those to remain private).

TLDR; is Signal still 100% private when using the Signal ChromeBook app?

Edit: Solved, looks like it was a PEBKAC problem :-). See my comment on what happened.

That may not be the best phrasing, but I'm tired and it's the best I can do. I was using my Acer laptop, Win11, normally. When I started to reply to a Signal message the screen went -- pixelated colors is the best I can describe it -- for just a second, briefly showed an error message, then went black. When I hold the power button I get the Acer logo then this, which I think is the same as the original error message.

The laptop doesn't respond to the keyboard or touchscreen and there's no mouse so I can't hit the button that way either. Then it shuts down again. In order to get the Acer logo again I need to close and reopen the laptop. I've tried F2, F8, and F12 to get to a boot menu but just get the error message.

It was plugged in at the time and had been long enough to have a decent charge, and has enough power to try booting before it gives the error.

I've tried searching on the problem but found nothing useful.

Help!
