Freshly installed Sony Xa2 Ultra dual sim with Android 8.1 and Sailfish 3.1.0.11

Installed Signal messenger, which can receive messages. However; contacts aren't shown when messages are received, only numbers. The contacts are shown in the peoples app.

Tried restarting the Android-support.
Tried removing Signal (incl removing the data), syncing the contacts to the Android layer and only then starting Signal.
Signal has permissions to access contacts in the Android-settings.
Tried removing the Android contacts.db (as decribed here: https://together.jolla.com/question/189945/xperia-x-google-contacts-not-synced-on-android-apps/?answer=196146#post-id-196146 ) but that file doesn't seem to be there anymore.
Tried giving Signal permissions to access Sailfish contacts, as described on the Zendesk page for Whatsapp, but the option to give permissions is missing from the Sailfish Android-support settings

(reference: image description )

Any idea's on what to try next?

did you install coderus' aliendalvik control? there you have the possibility to open the andoid contacts app. you can take a look if your contacts are synced to the android layer.

Hi,

I suppose that's not very common. ive did exactly the usual steps and everything is working perfectly. And yet, just to be sure , let me suggest you to check for the Android App permissions. image description Hope this helps
