We reproduced this issue on a test device. Signal iOS 2.25 includes some changes to the way that timers are updated that should prevent this rare bug from happening again in the future. Version 2.25 will also retroactively address this for any errant messages that should have disappeared.

A friend of mine is also experiencing this issue:

  • message does not disappear on iOS

Debug log from iPhone where Messages do not disappear:

Platform info
Signal version: 2.22.0.4
Linked device version: iPhone SE with iOS 11.0.2

Debug log from Android phone where Messages do disappear:

Platform info
Signal version: Signal 4.17.5 (beta channel)
Linked device version: Fairphone 2 with Android 6.0.1

Additional Info:

  • Messages do also disappear on the Signal Desktop instance of the Android phone. The iPhone does not have any linked Signal Desktop instances.
  • It might be unrelated, but my friend cannot toggle the disappearing message button on her own, because it is not completely visible. I added a screeenshot to the PR which should have fixed the layout issue https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/pull/1536

I'm trying to come up with a reliable way to reproduce the issue.
