Accept group invites #216

Open ghost opened 1 year ago

ghost commented 1 year ago

What happened:

I got a group invite, but it appeared in the alphabetical sorted part (no messages) of my contacts Also I don't see an option to accept it (so i did it via my phone, but i'd love to get rid of that)

What I'd expect:

The group should be displayed on top of the contact list There should be an option to accept or decline the group invite

Ref. upstream: https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/1208

The workaround for now would be to run:

signal-cli updateGroup -g <GROUP_ID>

Note (to self): this issue is about accepting invites to a group (i.e. when being added to a group by a person not in contact list). When added to a group by one of the contacts, the new group shows up in scli with the first message received in the group's chat.

the workaround is kinda shitty in the way that i won't realize the group invite unless i stumble upon it in my contact list (or someone tells me) but thank you for telling me how to do that, for a next time :)

Didn't know that it's just about groups from non-contacts, but that kinda makes sense
