Signal stopped working about six months ago. I receive notifications, but it will not allow me to enter my four digit code nor will it a permit me to respond to message, requests or share information. I have tried numerous times following all suggestions online but nothing works.

I can’t delete any chats and immediately freezes every time I use it.
