I'm trying to use Signal Private Messenger (org.thoughtcrime.securesms) as my default SMS app. However :
  • The default Messages app will take care of random incoming SMS
  • If I disable the SMS permission of the Messages app, not only it will crash, but Signal won't receive incoming SMS at random, so many SMS are lost
However, I can send SMS perfectly with Signal. Receiving is the problem.
I :
  • Installed Signal
  • Chose it as default SMS app in the phone's options
  • Changed its permission in the Security app (so it can start itself in the background, and another SMS permission IIRC)
  • Tried disabling battery optimization for Signal; it did not change anything
