I am currently switching to a new phone.
So, it would be very helpful to have this issue fixed as soon as possible.

@danmcgoo This should be fixed in 4.75 and has started rolling out to production. If you'd like it sooner, you can join the beta group via the play store page listing or going here: https://community.signalusers.org/t/beta-feedback-for-the-upcoming-android-4-75-release/17727

@cody-signal Thank you for your quick answer and for your responsiveness. That's a huge relief for me.

@cody-signal I just finished the transfer from my old to my new phone. Thank you again.
