Are you in a group with this person? I imagine that it could be that they're sending delivery receipts that aren't properly encrypted.

The short-term solution is to go to the conversation you have with this person > three dot menu > Reset secure session.

At least two of my contacts (I'm in group with them) have received a lot of these same messages. I also have two

Message encrypted for non-existing session

in my Note to Self conversation.

I'm not sure, but this might be time correlated to when I opened signal-desktop-bin (1.25.1-1) on my computer (manjaro 4.19.45).

I am also experiencing this on PC - together with high battery usage on mobile.

Is this still relevant? If so, what is blocking it? Is there anything you can do to help move it forward?
