I really hate that the desktop app unlinks after a relatively short period of time. I rarely use Signal, so few of my friends are there, so I have to relink the desktop app almost every time I open it. I wouldn't mind scanning a qr code every now and then, but then the history refuses to sync because security. So far I haven't find how to change it.

The Android app is stable enough, but the UX of having to look at the phone while typing a reply on a normal keyboard is annoying. This is why I prefer Telegram every time.

I've got Signal on 2 computers, 1 of which I only run it occasionally. I've never had to reconnect it.

I'm not sure what's going on for you, but it seems really abnormal.

It automatically unlinks the desktop app if you don't open it for 30 days.

There is now at least a reminder on the phone app that will prompt you a few days before one of your desktop apps is about to get unlinked.
