Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • planetm34 Dennis (@planetm34) reported

    @signalapp Do you have some issues with push notifications since iOS 15? I am getting the messages only, when I open the app. All notifications are activated for the app as well as the background data. App re-install does not fix the problem.

  • ArminderDahul Arminder Dahul (@ArminderDahul) reported

    @signalapp is *still* broken on iOS 15. Using iMessage instead.

  • TifooFR Tifoo (@TifooFR) reported

    @lejyby @signalapp Well some friends and myself encounter the same issues on several android phones. When you select pictures to send it may keep a black screen or hang

  • OP52049301 OP (@OP52049301) reported

    @AlecMuffett @signalapp Fixed it for you. “In November 2011, Whisper Systems announced that it had been acquired by Twitter. Neither company disclosed the financial terms of the deal. The acquisition was done "primarily so that Mr. Marlinspike could help the then-startup improve its security".

  • trustMaximuss Maximuss 📈 (@trustMaximuss) reported

    @tarteone @signalapp Snarkiness or stupidness?When was I debating about transferring old msgs? The only issue I mentioned was the annoying PIN prompts from Signal. There’s other ways to keep it secure but I can get why it wouldn’t affect U since U prob don’t have a life & got nothin else better to do

  • Crispy2019 Crispy (@Crispy2019) reported

    @firefox @MarcoPoloApp @signalapp Are you going to fix the spacing for bookmarks?

  • comrade0possum all challot are beautiful ↙️↙️↙️ (@comrade0possum) reported

    @signalapp I'm an Android beta user & since yesterday the app has been highly unresponsive. Various screens (messages with a contact, settings, disappearing messages selector) don't load, and actions taken from the main contact list (like archiving) have no effect. Known issue?

  • jlobster Josh Liebster (@jlobster) reported

    @Dejify @signalapp The FB/WhatsApp outage?

  • lejyby Jérémy "Le JyBy" Barbay (@lejyby) reported

    @TifooFR @signalapp I am sending pictures using Signal on Android all the time without any issues whatsoever?

  • aguswekss aguswekss (@aguswekss) reported

    @signalapp re-login, and lost chat history. 😟

  • _DannyAlexx Danny Alex (@_DannyAlexx) reported from Kitchener, Ontario

    @redOz92 @Snowden @signalapp Do you think Joe Rogan is your dad? Have you been taking any medication to help with this?

  • FisherGrubb Fisher Grubb🇿🇦🇿🇼 (@FisherGrubb) reported

    @Cheezlethakidd @Snowden @signalapp Nope, use Signal to also manage your SMS messages & problem solved. You have no idea about privacy issues if you think texting & using Signal are the same. Instead, view it as under SMS, all your messages are stored by gov or telco, then can be used to analyse your personality

  • Quasi_anarchist Justin Bryan (@Quasi_anarchist) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Signal user here. I love it. Its the only privacy focused app iv been able to get my FAM into. But I wish they would get there s** together. They have not been updating changes to the server side on their Repo's, so, they aren't really open source anymore. Thanks for your service

  • SeriousMike90 Mike (@SeriousMike90) reported

    @TifooFR @signalapp never had that issue

  • Toperz79 Toperz (@Toperz79) reported

    @signalapp Telegram boasts that they got about 80 million new users during the FB outage. And how many arrived at Signal?

  • hschauhan Himanshu Chauhan (@hschauhan) reported

    @signalapp Ringing is still a problem. I call from Linux to Linux, mobile gets ring but desktop doesn’t.

  • Avieshek Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported

    @signalapp But @telegram is literally replacing email not just WhatsApp outside of USA, sorry man - can’t trust you twice and already seem with no plan other than reverting back to subcription service after reaching scale, just like WhatsApp was last time before being bought by Faecbook

  • cf268bab8e8e4b7 Official noob (@cf268bab8e8e4b7) reported

    @signalapp Please fix late notification issue otherwise it's good messaging app

  • Rajpals94368875 Rajpal singh (@Rajpals94368875) reported

    @signalapp #Signal your voice call and video call are End to end encrypted and messages are End to end encrypted please help me i m confused

  • Avieshek Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported

    @signalapp But @telegram is literally replacing email not just WhatsApp outside of USA, sorry man - can’t trust you twice and already seem with no plan other than reverting back to subcription service after reading scale like WhatsApp last time before being bought by Faecbook

  • Madze731 Madze (@Madze731) reported

    @whnt Better. I don't use Facebook nor Instagram. And while Whatsapp was down I thought I need a messenger that is as easy but independent from Facebook. Realized I already have @signalapp . It's more secure just barely used. So without Facebook, I hope more would use it.

  • nicolasmagand Nicolas Magand (@nicolasmagand) reported

    Following WhatsApp outage, I wonder is @signalapp just says “LOST SIGNAL” when the service is down.

  • thesystem Zack Shure (@thesystem) reported

    @signalapp your notifications on iOS 15 are still broken, also after the last update.

  • Gabhar_Angora Gabhar Angóra (@Gabhar_Angora) reported

    @firefox @MarcoPoloApp @signalapp This also seems like a good time to remind you if we wanted a Chrome like browser we would use it instead, so could you please stop watering down Firefox experience with imposed features literally no one (but someone with clear lack of common UI/UX sense) asked?

  • Deathbot72607 Billybobjr (@Deathbot72607) reported

    @jonahmiller_42 @signalapp No, they're both equally better than each other only in an outage Signal will be better.

  • ritchiedevs Richard • Web Developer (@ritchiedevs) reported

    yarn grunt... TS error: @signalapp/libsignal-client not found. Whut, its right there in node_modules >:( same stuff when running tsc manually

  • leonzandman Leon Zandman (@leonzandman) reported

    Strange. Since a few hours @signalapp notification seem broken. They only appear after opening the app.

  • knc331 Naresh Chowdary (@knc331) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp People are so attached to WhatsApp it's became super difficult to convince them to move any other app even if it is more secure and private. While I'm using Signal, I need others to be also on Signal to communicate so it boils down awareness and self thought. Bad state to be in.

  • Dakk48141059 D₳kk (@Dakk48141059) reported

    @astro_reece @signalapp I left back in May 90% of the people I message daily are on Signal. I just have to get my Mother, not any fault of her. I just keep forgetting to walk her through it. She wouldn't be issue like most people were.

  • ShahlaSparkle Shahla Khan (@ShahlaSparkle) reported

    @techguruca @signalapp @WhatsApp Thanks Irfan but pls excuse my ignorance, how do I verify the validity of the message through address bar? Is that where the url goes? The message appeared as soon as I logged in to my Google after the two step verified login.
