    @signalapp Also check if your rivals (you know who "THEY" are,) are deliberately sending DDoS attacks to bring down your server

    @signalapp please make downloads $1 ... This is crazy that your long-time loyal users and supporters can't use the service now. #ElonBrokeSignal

  • jr_fall Jason Fall (@jr_fall) reported

    @MikellTaylor @signalapp So it's not just me having trouble?

  • Kshitij1975 Kshitij Deshmukh (@Kshitij1975) reported

    @SkypLabs @sunny051488 @signalapp I wonder if they have shared their system architecture somewhere? If I think it is what it is, messages getting routed from point a->b, then adding servers, means adding queues and queue processors. It’s almost like adding more lanes that help me get from a->b.

  • Shahfarrukh Farrukh Shah (@Shahfarrukh) reported

    @signalapp when will the issue get resolved. It has been more than 24 hours now.

  • _sHArCKEr_ sHArCKER (@_sHArCKEr_) reported

    @signalapp Still down after 24 hours 😭

  • TaslCan Mehmet Can (@TaslCan) reported from Bursa, Bursa

    @signalapp hello signal family I downloaded signal app in my phone but I can’t sent any message to anyone please help me 😭 My phone is iPhone 7 Plus 📱

  • SPBAHUGUNA1 S P BAHUGUNA (@SPBAHUGUNA1) reported

    @signalapp We are getting messages on signal but not calls. What's the problem?

  • Sachiny72019207 Sachin yadav (@Sachiny72019207) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp why not fix the problem how much time fix the problem please reply

  • welshdai15 David Hutton (@welshdai15) reported

    @crahane09 @signalapp No... Chinmay, they're not trusting them. Something to do with privacy issues due to Facebook's newly enforced privacy policy. I've been considering changing myself. Currently unsure what to do.

  • taipva Tomas (@taipva) reported

    @signalapp Any update on the issue?

  • joaooliveira Jσασ Oʅιʋҽιɾα (@joaooliveira) reported

    @kopsportugal @signalapp Well, 100K groups make an even stronger group anywhere. Trying to solve the issue on the immediate only tackling the root causes would take years. Meantime revolutions and revolt happens on a blink of a eye!

  • SapolaBhai Akash Singh (@SapolaBhai) reported

    @signalapp common guys...fix it already

  • Brooks_Lawson1 Brooks Lawson (@Brooks_Lawson1) reported

    @rtinhk @signalapp There's no reason to believe funding is an issue at this time. Exponential growth is the issue. Connecting enough servers to facilitate this growth is a physical hurdle, not a financial one.

  • nileshbansal nileshbansal (@nileshbansal) reported

    @signalapp It's not working for me. And having no status update does mean the team does not care about basic communication to 50 million users. It's good to have a simple update "we are still trying to resolve the issue"

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @stevec00ps @signalapp Are you still having problems? If so, have you restarted the encryption?

  • bigfack 白左thirst-worldist🏴🔰 (@bigfack) reported

    @hdevalence @signalapp I wonder if they hit some kind of low level limit in the same vein as the November AWS outage.

  • Jhdonato Jhonatas D Gonçalves (@Jhdonato) reported

    @signalapp Hello, here I want to praise your work with this amazing app and ask two questions: is the app expected to return to working normally? What if it has features that other messengers have, and that you will put on without losing the security issue?

  • gaborgurbacs Gabor Gurbacs (@gaborgurbacs) reported

    @JanvanEck3 @Facebook @signalapp 1. On one hand, signal had 10s of millions of downloads since FB-WhatsApp integration was announced. 2. On the on the other hand, Signal needs infrastructure investment (servers) to scale in its current setup. 3. Telegram is also a good service. Also has a crypto angle.

  • yogithahr Yogitha Rajeshwar (@yogithahr) reported

    @signalapp Please add a time stamp. This is getting me in trouble with my friends when I forget to reply or have to prove a point🙈

  • akhil09aug Akhil (@akhil09aug) reported

    @signalapp Not working yet.... Kindly fix it soon.

  • fharper Frédéric Harper (@fharper) reported

    So glad @Facebook changed WhatsApp privacy policy. People will start to understand its not a good platform. Even if it means @signalapp is down right now because they had a massive income of users. I closed my WhatsApp account long ago and never looked back!

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @Nico_Nicaise @signalapp Are you still having problems?

  • davidebrady David E Brady (@davidebrady) reported

    .@signalapp it's been almost as day now, when is the service likely to resume?

  • devpato Pato #OpenSource♥️ (@devpato) reported

    @fharper @Facebook @signalapp I use WhatsApp. I'm advocating for signal. Signal being down it's okay. WhatsApp goes down a few times a year

  • Amarjeet_Das Amarjeet Das (@Amarjeet_Das) reported

    @signalapp Service resumes... Thanks

  • XaltiGal Geesje Hallerdijk (@XaltiGal) reported

    @CalmSuryavanshi @JovisJoseph_ @signalapp Shifting because privacy policy? That's naive. I've been using Signal since 2018. Well, use whatever you like, I'm not against WhatsApp or any other app. Let them compete and serve us the best service. My point was for your misinformation.
