Overall summary

I updated to 7.11.0 today, also changed phones so i had to relink my laptop. I added someone to a group via mobile number and now I get the recurring pop up "Verify to continue messaging", I do the verification online (different browsers) and it says verification failed. Have tried 10+ times.

Steps to reproduce

As above.

Fails, continuous loop

Hey there - I'm sorry this is happening to you. Would you consider installing the beta? It has some fixes for these repeated captchas: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007318471-Signal-Beta

Hi Scott, sure, beta installed and seems to be working fine.

As a side note on version 7.11.0, despite not being able to complete the verification, the chat's are still syncing.

I've just gotten this issue when upgrading to 7.12.0. It's quite annyoing. The verification keeps failing and the recaptcha keeps popping up. Please for the sake of all our sanity ... roll back that commit.

The same issue in 7.12.0. I never have so many problems with Signal like last years (months) when they update every week. It's a pity that there is no any stable alternative which has privacy under concern. I don't believe that Signal is going in right way ....

This cropped up this morning for me with v7.12.0 which then persisted with the upgrade to v7.13.0
