Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reportedApple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.
-
MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
-
Notesnook (@notesnook) reported@signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

Andrew W 🥝 (@aw_nz) reported@0xPhilH @vonderburchard @signalapp The users got hacked, not Signal. If those users' Signal accounts hadn't been phished, it's likely at some point in the near future those same users' accounts on some other service would be phished as the same vulnerable point of entry (the user themselves) remains.
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reported@signalapp @mer__edith I explain the why this is a problem in my definitive case against mass surveillance essay.
-
Nasser (@nasser_kari) reportedI've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp usernames help, but spam control gets harder when phone numbers stop anchoring identity
-
Mark12-17 ✝️🇮🇱 🇺🇸 (@Mark1217000) reported@signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages
-
shhh (@Truthseekerrz) reported@Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground
-
CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

Sebastian (@seb_mc2) reported@eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported@signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it
-
Oyindamola⛓️ (@bitcoinzaddy) reported@signalapp Can you please fix the erratic behavior of Signal when registering with a +234 number? pleaseee
-
Tee Time (@topicswithatee) reported@signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2
-
Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reportedWhatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.
-
Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported@zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.
-
Ian Bradbury (@bradbury2010) reported@PaulSmithDM @signalapp I thought "crap parents are so terrified of" might have been a clue that I agree with you completely. The missing tone of voice makes it harder though. I regard this "ooh the kiddies" as utterly despicable. The problem now is to find a party that won't do it.
-
Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedOMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.
-
Idea Catalogue (@idea_catalogue) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks for instance someone could mail you pics you don't want, also anonymously. but i don't call for the post office to censor everyone's mail. you can choose not to open the mail from unsolicited senders. or pay a service to filter your mail and not forward ones screened for ******
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
-
LianZaKim @Kim (@liankimpi) reported@signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.
-
Jason Sackey (@jsonsackey) reported@oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.
