    Hey @signalapp Using a Xiaomi phone, The voice notes are processed with an annoying effect. It doesn't happen with any other app but just signal. Already sent you an email with an audio sample but haven't got any response or fix yet

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

    @freenando75 @signalapp Why? Log in with your tablet and the phone number of your Nokia. Then connect your tablet to your Linux system. At least the first one should work without problems.

  • Northernfire Northern Fire (@Northernfire) reported

    @signalapp Is your service still under pressure? I can send messages and people receive it but not the other way round. My phone keeps silent :(

  • FUCKINGPOKEMON FUCKINGPOKEMONTRAINER (@FUCKINGPOKEMON) reported

    @signalapp Why it is so hard to register with you? I was already in, the suddenly your app requires me to use my text messages service only with your app, then kickedme out and now i cant register or enter because I'm already registered.?? wtf

  • Sabawit3 ሳባዊT (@Sabawit3) reported

    @admediainsider @signalapp @karunasharmaa There is no problem. Left Facebook on 2011 and will do it with WhatsApp too. Their loss.

    Dai @signalapp your app on @Android is not giving notifications on time. They get delayed by hours! Please fix

  • dacentral Abhishek Srivastava (@dacentral) reported

    @signalapp Signal is down again. No message sending, no calls.

  • i_relish_code Muhammad Iqbal (@i_relish_code) reported

    Today, I switched to @signalapp from @WhatsApp because of the coercive new terms of service by whatsApp. I chose signal over telegram because it is free as well as opensource, developed following gold standards with no commercial ambitions.

  • 9pokerface ANIRUDH (@9pokerface) reported

    @signalapp It's again down with the latest update. This is your @zoom_us moment. Please don't ruin it.

  • leobrennauer Leo Brennauer (@leobrennauer) reported

    @signalapp started facing an issue with the Signal Android application. Messages are slowly sent without apparent reason (network quality is good and other applications works just fine)

  • LittleRayBook Little Ray Duin (@LittleRayBook) reported

    @TaslCan @signalapp It is good that you got it working. Terry has the same phone. She doesn't fix things; she lives with the errors! Happy Tuesday to all of you from all of us!

  • olischolz oliver scholz (@olischolz) reported

    @moxie and @signalapp - Regularly when making calls from the Signal app, the receiving side does not ring, despite all their notifications being set up properly. Is this a looming problem from your growth spurt?

  • mazhakkutii123 = മഴക്കുട്ടി = (@mazhakkutii123) reported

    I am getting multiple echoes in audio, while making audio video or group audio/video calls on @signalapp the audio echoes multiple times and reverbes. This continues with 'relay calls' switched on or off. What could be done to fix the echo in audio? @elonmusk @brianacton

  • FreddySeltzer FreddySeltzer (@FreddySeltzer) reported

    Anyone else having issues with using @signalapp for SMS/MMS messages? I'm guessing it might have to do with the overload of their services..

  • NoderOf Noder of the truth 🛡 (@NoderOf) reported

    @yashalevine @torproject @signalapp This is FUD. Tor uses many layers of and protocols ensuring one node cannot know where the info came from. Singal is e2e encrypted. No vital info is stored in servers. Meta data analysis for both is viable and happens. This is an intrinsic problem of IP protocol

  • MishiChoudhary Mishi Choudhary (@MishiChoudhary) reported

    People power, in this context, means choosing to use technology in ways that protect you, rather than threatening to harm you. @signalapp is a centralized service operated for the good of its users, rather than the profit of its proprietors. #FOSS

    @DraganTventi @signalapp What kind of problems do you have?

  • masubhatlife 🍗🍚🍑📱💻🎧🎸🤔 (@masubhatlife) reported

    I just received an email from @signalapp service support team regarding my concerns with not receiving the OTP to activate my account. They seem really dedicated to provide us new members with their service and expand their servers. Hope to get connected ASAP with #signal.

  • MarcPhilippeB Marc ₿aumann (@MarcPhilippeB) reported

    @signalapp when do you plan to make chat backups possible on iOS? I would love to switch to @signalapp but I can’t afford losing my entire conversation history when my phone breaks down, gets lost or stolen.

  • kaiserschorizo Kaisers Chorizo (@kaiserschorizo) reported

    @signalapp Thank you Signal for your service. These past few days is more evidence that Facebook and Whatsapp is garbage.

  • dvett Dave (@dvett) reported

    @signalapp it doesnt seem like messages are syncing between my phone and the desktop app. messages on my phone show up on the desktop, but messages i type on the desktop do NOT show up on my phone. i've tried to re-link the desktop but that doesn't help.

  • narazamsa Axat (@narazamsa) reported

    @signalapp Messages going slow still, buffer time. Please fix this.
