Signal-ios: Feature Request: Apple Watch app
This is a simple feature request for an Apple Watch app. I am aware of the existing Apple Watch notification integration, and grateful for it, but I think we need a full-fledged and fully endorsed Apple Watch app.

I support this idea. At least some basic functionality like reading and answering chats on the Watch would be awesome!

This is for issue reporting and not feature requests. This issue should be closed.

There's also a BUG here:
When the mute switch on the side of the iPhone is enabled (which most people with an Apple Watch do because you don't want to get the same notifications on 2 devices), all calls and notifications will be forwarded to/seen as notifications/vibrations/sounds on the Apple Watch. But not for incoming Signal audio calls...
So when people call me, i always only see missing calls. Very annoying.
When i call them back, the same issue happens on the other side, and they are not aware i'm calling them either. I'd definitely call that a bug...

Even when this was previously reported as a bug (see https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-iOS/issues/4158) it was closed as a feature request :-(

It would be great as there is no sensible messaging app for apple watch apart from imessage.
