Signal-android: QuickReply always sends Signal message regardless if last message was SMS

Created on 1 May 2019  路  3Comments  路  Source: signalapp/Signal-Android


Bug description

When I receive an SMS from a contact, and use the "quick reply" function in the notification window to reply, it always replies with an encrypted signal message. Even if my last selection in the chat window was SMS (which is a sticky option now)

Steps to reproduce

  • select "Insecure SMS" and send a message
  • exit the app, wait for a response. Use Quick Reply to reply.
  • message sent will be Secure Signal instead of Insecure SMS.

Actual result: message sent will b e secure signal
Expected result: Message sent should match the sticky option in the chat window (or possibly even better, whatever kind of message you are replying to, e. g. if you quick reply to a secure message your message should be secure but if you quick reply to an sms your message should be sms)

Device info


Device: Motorola Moto X 2014
Android version: Lineage OS 7.1.2
Signal version: 4.38.3
