  • YashPatkar Yash Patkar (@YashPatkar) reported

    @signalapp Why does signal take so much time to send an ordinary text message? I've always rooted for signal, but this issue forestalls me from recommending the app to my friends

  • david_billard David Billard (@david_billard) reported

    Many friends with recent #Huawei phone are experiencing problems with many apps (including #SignalApp ) that refuse to launch if #google play services are not installed. Why do all these apps *need* google play services? I can understand for some apps. But @signalapp ?

  • OmkarMishra_OM Omkar(om) 🇮🇳 (@OmkarMishra_OM) reported

    @signalapp hi team signal ...i am trying to generate an account on signal , but varification code did not received that's why unable to generate account ..please help !

  • infinityhodl crypto betsy (@infinityhodl) reported

    @signalapp @onceusername Hey my signal has stopped notifying me on every device for the last week. Used signal for years. Not sure how to fix?

  • TheOneAW Theoneaw (@TheOneAW) reported

    @signalapp problem with the verification servers, no message received on new phone for three days

  • HiralThakrar Ht (@HiralThakrar) reported

    @signalapp Facing problems with Audio and Video calls. Need to keep the APP open in the background to receive and answer calls. I have followed the trouble shooting guide and couldn't resolve the issue. I'm using the latest updated version. Both of us are on the latest version.

  • CeraulaSibilo Sibilo Ceraula (@CeraulaSibilo) reported

    @signalapp Love the app but I've found some frustrating issues...I can't copy a message, save a voice note or forward a message. Can you sort this?

  • sivavaid DR. SIVA VAIDHYANATHAN🗽🤘🏽 (@sivavaid) reported

    @GretchenSPeters @WildCrimePro @signalapp The libertarian fantasy of “consumer choice” is one reason we can’t crack down on abusing companies like Facebook. It becomes someone else’s problem.

  • 3yyash Abdelrahman Ayyash (@3yyash) reported

    @ghqsy_ @signalapp I used it several times today. But it seems down now.

  • headgaar Edgar (@headgaar) reported

    @signalapp Guys you gotta fix your battery usage in android and iOS. Background activity eats a big portion of it.

  • alopix Dustin Steiner (@alopix) reported

    I just realised that you can make video calls with the @signalapp desktop app 👍 Video was very jumpy but that seems to be an issue with the other side’s Android device since we’ve seen that before …

  • not_Shashank not_shashank (@not_Shashank) reported

    @signalapp I have signal and managed to get most of my friends on board as well but the backup and recovery option with the 30 digit something pin is a bit too much and I couldn't get it to work even once... Maybe I'm dumb but help me out. I resently reset my phone and lost all messages.

  • lostinasianomad Russell (@lostinasianomad) reported

    @9NewsAUS Delete WhatsApp immediately. Use a safe and secure service alternative like @telegram or @signalapp

  • ghqsy_ GehadQuisay (@ghqsy_) reported

    Has @signalapp been down all day?

  • Cell_Fish CellFish (@Cell_Fish) reported

    @signalapp messages are not delivering to the other side (too much late double ticks) though I and my counterpart have good internet connection. Can you please help me?

  • SchulteMarkus 🔴 Markus Schulte (@SchulteMarkus) reported from Köln, Nordrhein-Westfalen

    @signalapp hmmm push notifications worked fine, but it's having issues for a few days. I checked my Android settings, seems to be fine.

  • keawijkstra Klaske Wijkstra (@keawijkstra) reported

    @DuckDuckGo @signalapp Signal is not the only safe chat service. Wire: not even a tel. nr. needed and available without Google and Apple.

  • Mr_HavalBarwari Haval Barwari (@Mr_HavalBarwari) reported

    @signalapp can you please fix the issue with contacts who remain in my signal contact list even after removing them from my iOS address book? It even won’t remove from windows desktop app contact list. This is very frustrating.

  • Cryptosphere14 Cryptomer (@Cryptosphere14) reported

    @signalapp Hey 👋 The problem of privacy is very obvious, we the people have become the product for the duopoly of FB and Google. An alternative way of how the ads are shown is needed and @AlkimiExchange is going to be world’s first decentralised ad exchange. Please check them out $ADS $DAG

  • stevemaximus Steve Smith (@stevemaximus) reported

    @signalapp whatever you changed in the gifs has basically made the gif search unusable. Please change it back. Search results are terrible!!

  • DabiruVishesh Dabiru Vishesh (@DabiruVishesh) reported

    @signalapp guys, I received an SMS from an employer 2 days ago, but the app did not show it at all (my default SMS app is #Signal)! Fortunately, he messaged me again and I saw it in the notification; I could have risked losing this interview, please fix this problem! 🙏

  • leeejeffries Leee Jeffries (@leeejeffries) reported

    @guyrleech @signalapp Thats a terrible memory leak. What is the app?

  • ZaherJT Zaher J. (@ZaherJT) reported

    @signalapp the importing feature on the desktop app, is giving me an error of not connecting to the internet. While I am connected on both devices to the internet!

  • heisKingdavid Kingdavid (@heisKingdavid) reported

    @TheDailyShow Honestly i feel like crying. I've been talking about privacy for months. If Facebook dies no problem we have twitter. If whats app dies we have @signalapp . everyone should take cyber security seriously. Rn iphone us a necessity not luxury. Also less gmail and more @ProtonMail

  • mikezentz Mike Zentz (@mikezentz) reported

    @skiffprivacy @moxie @signalapp Well that's great! You're saying if I were to submit a subpoena for information from your platform you'd be able to supply what just metadata? Login timestamps and such?

  • operaisma ANTIFAbulous (@operaisma) reported

    @PinkoScare @signalapp I see. I dont think I had signal when that was the case, I was thinking about how currently it wants you to remember your PIN and occasionally asks your to input it to help you remember, but I don't think it forces you to input it or locks you out

  • deniszanin Denis Zanin (@deniszanin) reported

    If you have problems dealing with PGP keys and sending me an encrypted message, feel free to use my pub. @signalapp number.

  • skiffprivacy Skiff (@skiffprivacy) reported

    @mikezentz @moxie @signalapp We don't store much metadata at all... not even login timestamps

  • Janesotherstuff Jane Laurie (@Janesotherstuff) reported

    Hey @WhatsApp - I deleted my account in January but my name still appears to my contacts. It’s INFURIATING. How do I amend this? Your ‘customer service’ has yet to help me with this... one of the reasons I moved to @signalapp ...

  • Farfrob Rob Farfan (@Farfrob) reported

    @Clubhouse so far working fine on Android. I switched over the app from my ipad just now. But for some reason the invites i am sending to my contacts are not working. My default chat app is @signalapp @SignalMessenger. receipients don’t get the invite. :-(
