All I realized was that my desktop version said that my phone is offline, despite it being online. Didn't realize that there were no messages since 4:25pm.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Is there any way to block user (require password) from joining additional groups?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
