Signal's new version notification keeps popping up (self.privacy)

Hey just wondering if its a problem on my end but a self update notification indicating a newer version of signal keeps popping up. I already have the latest version of the apk, 6.40.4, installed from their website, but the notification does not go away. I click it and then it states the application has been updated but after a few minutes later it pops up again. Not sure where to ask this but I would assume this place is one of the best places to interact with people that also use signal's non-playstore apk. Is this a bug on my end or are you experiencing it too?

Edit: forgot to mention I'm on grapheneos if thats a factor

Edit 2: apparently it was already reported on github and I missed it

Yes, I believe it has something to do with the new changes implemented because of the usernames.

Well, let them know about it, you have few options for that: GitHub, Official Forum or Signal Support website (how to get debug logs? read here).

There is also unofficial instance on Lemmy, cross post it over there.

I have the same problem on Signal (PNP), custom rom.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !signal@lemmy.ml

Really appreciate it, I didnt even realize they had an official forum
