Whisperfish - The unofficial SailfishOS Signal client

Sorry for the wait, but it’s finally here. There is one important caveat: if you currently have a working, linked (secondary) Whisperfish installation, it will currently not be able to correctly handle PNI, as we missed the migration messages. A work-around is to relink your Whisperfish by resetting it, removing the linked device in Signal Android (or Molly, or Signal-iOS; you primary device), and adding it again.

In principle, we should implement the relinking with retention of your messages, but that is still a lot of work.

There are some reports of Whisperfish not connecting the first time you start it after the upgrade. A restart of the app should fix it, but I’m interested in the logs of installations where this happens!
