SIGNAL notification problem on Tecno Smartphones is apparently caused by the "Auto-Start Management" setting in the Phone Master tool. @tecnomobile, kindly fix the problem.
@signalapp
Please reach out to @tecnomobile to help resolve the issue by letting Signal run by default. In the meantime, affected Signal users can open the "Phone Master" app, tap on the "Toolbox" tab, tap "Auto-start Management", and enable the setting for Signal.
