Incorrect timestamps from Mexico #522
Comments
Signal doesn't do anything special to timestamps, it just asks the OS what time it thinks it is. Our best guess is that their device has been set to the wrong time / time zone (perhaps they are deliberately adjusting their clock to work around the device applying DST when they don't want it to, or vice versa?). You could ask them if other people they chat with in Signal see the same thing, or even to provide a debug log to compare their local timestamps with timestamps provided by the Signal servers. (This isn't really the best place to file the issue either, since this repository only contains utility functions used by the client apps and the server. But since your best guess was that it was a server issue rather than a client issue it's understandable, so let's just continue here.) |
Thank you, I'll try to get more info from the other party (I might be the only person they communicate through Signal with, though) and come back here with my findings. |
OK, it wasn't a Signal issue, indeed. |
Not sure if this is the right place to log this bug, I'd normally go server but issues seem to be disabled there.
Description:
Chatting with someone. My timezone is Central Europe (CEST = UTC+2), the other person is in Coahuila, Mexico (CST = UTC-6).
Actual results:
My chat timestamps are correct. The other person's timestamps are one hour behind (ie when the timestamp for a message from me is "now", the timestamp for their message from the same time is "59m"; as time passes, my timestamps change correctly, ie "2m", "7m" etc, their timestamps change to indicate an hour behind).
Expected results:
Timestamps from Mexico should display correctly.
