I'm following up to share that the *Signal fix* is already available in *OONI Probe Desktop 3.9.3*.
Please update to the latest version on OONI Probe Desktop too: https://ooni.org/install/desktop
Thanks so much,
Maria.

Hi friends,
The OONI team has released *OONI Probe Mobile 3.8.6* on Android, F-Droid, and iOS.
Please *update* to the latest version: https://ooni.org/install/mobile
The latest version (3.8.6) includes an *important fix* for the data quality of the *Signal Private Messenger App experiment* ( https://ooni.org/nettest/signal) results.
Specifically, we have changed the tested endpoints in the Signal experiment so that the testing of the Signal app no longer leads to faulty measurements (though false positives can still occur).
The latest version improves the quality of Signal measurements, thereby enabling you (and researchers around the world) to more accurately track the accessibility or blocking of the Signal app.
We'd hugely appreciate it if you could please update to the latest OONI Probe Mobile 3.8.6 version ASAP.
The fix is already available in OONI Probe CLI ( https://ooni.org/install/cli). We aim to release the fix on OONI Probe Desktop soon too.
We apologize for any inconvenience, and we thank you for your patience as we worked towards shipping this fix.
We also thank you for your support and for continuing to contribute measurements!
Best,
OONI team.
