Failed to decrypt omemo suddenly

Hi,

I am chatting to a person and while i chat i got no problem. After I finish chatting I get a notification that i have some failed to decrypt omemo messages.

The messages appear in between messages.

The person who sent the messages doesn’t gave those messages at all…everything seems ok when comparing the messages on 2 devices…

Any ideas whats happening?

Cheers!

Hi @batori

Were you able to figure out the solution for this issue?

We have been facing similar problems.

Look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

Hi.

The thing i have noticed is that this is happening when you have a weak connection.

It happened to me many times only with weak connection.

I hope i helped you with the answer.

Hi @batori

If it’s a case of weak connection, the messages should not have been delivered in the first place but rather we get see a decryption error which seems like an error handler message in OMEMO architecture.

Did you do anything from your end to get rid of this problem?

Well, no. I did nothing.

The messages are being delivered even though you get that error, at least in my case.
I think a new version of OMEMO is coming out too, if not already? :thinking:

Thanks @batori for letting me know. In our case messages get delivered but content can’t be read/seen since there is an error “Failed to decrypt omemo message”.

We might have to check with the version of OMEMO itself.
