Pigeon release note 2.0.0024Updated a month ago

Release date: 07/03/2025

Version 2.0.0024 addresses a critical communication issue that emerged after Signal's updates in January. Previously, users were able to receive messages but were unable to send text and audio messages, calls or search for other users via username.

To resolve this, a significant portion of the code has been rewritten. You can find all the updates on our GitHub repository.

Known issues

• Settings menu: While the fix is in place, we are aware of some UI issues in the Settings menu. These will be resolved in an upcoming update, which will be released shortly.
• Backup restoration: The backup restoration procedure is currently not functioning as expected. However, since updates are now available, this procedure is not necessary. We are actively working on a fix, which will be included in the next release.
• Restore procedure UI feedback: No visual feedback during the restoration process. When the user enters the PIN, the restore begins and may take some time, depending on the amount of conversation history.
• Group Call Info: The list of participants in a group call is not scrollable.
• End of the call doesn’t work when the user exits Pigeon: When the user exits the Pigeon app during a call, the end call button of the keyboard is no longer intercepted and the call cannot be ended. To end the call, it is necessary to re-enter the call menu and click on the End Call option.
• Set-up: It is not possible to select image tiles with the Punkt. key during the CAPTCHA test. It is necessary to use the numerical key '5' instead.
• Voice messages: The duration of a voice message isn't displayed when dictating the message.
• Voice messages: It is impossible to adjust the volume while listening to a voice message.
• Conversations: Tagging functions are not enabled on Pigeon while typing messages.
• Conversations: It is not possible to view media in full-screen mode; therefore, video playback does not work, and received images are only displayed as thumbnails.
• Conversations: It is impossible to start a conversation with a voice message. Text messages must be exchanged first.
• Calling: The call will drop if a call is answered on speakerphone.
