  I meant have you tried it? Do you know if it’s any good?

    Yes and yes, but I have no need for it.
    I prefer to use Signal’s Android version by way of SailfishOS’ App support.

      Ah right okay.

      The Android version of Signal works well in Waydroid in Ubuntu Touch also, bu running it permanently in the background like Signal is designed to do is problematic for several reasons that make it kind of a painful proposition. But if I needed it just to send or receive a message punctually, it would be a great solution.

      Okay then, it sounds like Whisperfish might work well enough as a primary Signal client to make SailfishOS worth giving a spin. Thanks!
