Bug description

Quick Response Messages, and messages sent via "alternative methods" are not displayed in Signal, or are not sent via Signal

Steps to reproduce

• Send a message using an assistant app or as a response to an incoming call
• Check Signal for sent message (it won't be there)
• Check pretty much every other SMS messaging app installed for sent message (it WILL be there)

Actual result: Sent messages are not displayed in Signal
Expected result: ALL SMS messages should be shown in Signal (since it's the default messaging app)

Screenshots

Device info

Device: Samsung Note 9
Android version: 9
Signal version: 4.35.3

I know this topic has been brought up a few previous times but none show any resolution or plans to fix this behavior (that I could find, at least).

Hi, funny thing is that while signal is the default SMS app the quick call response SMS will not show up in signal as mentioned above but when I open up the preinstalled SMS app, in my case google messages, and make it the default SMS-app after the fact, the quick call response SMS send previously will show up after some seconds. So its stored somethere and waiting for beeing picked up - right?

Same issue here on a Note 8 running Signal 4.48.17.

I am an iPhone user so when my friend responds to my message via the Assistant, I get the message (so it sent correctly), but the message doesn't show in his thread.

*On my iPhone I got a message from him that said 'Test' and I responded with 'Yes'. 'Test' was not shown on his thread.

Also, is there not a way for it to send en IM instead of an SMS? Maybe IM if you have internet and SMS if you don't?

Have you tried it with another app like Textra?

I hope they fix this bug

Just picked up a pixel 4 and at the end of a call that wasn't answered you have the option to send them a quick message. The message sent also does not show up on the signal sms thread.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?

Yes, it's still relevant. And it's stale because no developers picked up the ticket to work the issue.

You can reopen the issue. This is technically a feature request though.

Am a bit confused, it seems it was implemented in TextSecure.
