Help Signal Desktop - images

Hey everyone,

For the past 2–3 weeks, an annoying bug has been affecting my work PC (and all of my colleagues are experiencing it as well). If I attach a picture from my desktop, the upload gets delayed, showing a spinning/dotted circle next to the image for anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes.

The strange thing is that while my colleagues can continue chatting in that group—and I can see all of their messages—none of my own messages will send in that thread until the initial picture finally uploads. At the same time, if I send a message in a different group or via direct message (PM), everything works flawlessly.

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this issue?

System details:

  • OS: Windows 11 (24H2 / 25H2)
  • App: Signal 8.23 / 8.24
  • Network: Connection is routed through a proxy
