    @signalapp doesn’t open even on reinstalling on iPhone 6 from last three days.Nobody provides the fix to this issue

  • ryanwaldroop Ryan Waldroop (@ryanwaldroop) reported

    @craighead @mer__edith @signalapp My 90 year old grandma has no problem using Signal and Facebook Messenger and SMS. Just a different button to press depending on who she wants to talk to. No big deal.

  • floridarican85 Flint Ironstag (@floridarican85) reported

    @signalapp I have been having issues trying to get decent help from your customer support about a phone number change but have gotten nowhere in 2 weeks. Could I DM you the details and ask for further assistance? I still require your app

  • Badger_of_Hon3y TheHoneyBadger (@Badger_of_Hon3y) reported

    @signalapp Mastodon has real security and privacy issues, no e2ee and the admin on the servers can see any private dms between two parties

  • vahidlazio Sky (@vahidlazio) reported

    @signalapp Hi, please enable login with email instead of phone number.

  • stsDrex Daniel "Drex" Drexler (@stsDrex) reported

    @signalapp Signal dropping support for insecure messaging modes is a critical error which cripples the Signal mission of providing secure communication. It's all well and good to say "privacy isn't optional" - but we both know that's a lie and by removing onramps you make it more optional!

  • samehysabry Sameh Sabry (@samehysabry) reported

    Hey guys, your app keeps on crashing before it is even fully launched (post authentication), are you familiar with that problem? @signalapp

  • durumcrustulum Deirdre Connolly¹ (@durumcrustulum) reported

    @BucciaBuccia @signalapp Yeah that sucks. I really wish Signal wrote down anything in detail about how the whole service works, if I were one of their engineers or cryptographers especially

  • THEREALALIEN9 therealalien🛸 (@THEREALALIEN9) reported

    We cannot share a tweet directly to @signalapp from @Twitter app. I’m using an iPhone. Fix this please.

  • JoeGAbdo Joe 🇱🇧 (@JoeGAbdo) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys, no one answers the support requests sent by email. How else to get help on an encountered and recurrent issue with your App ???

  • catvincent Cat Vincent (useless eater) he/him 🏴 🏳️‍🌈 (@catvincent) reported

    @Anfinith @signalapp They announced it’s being taken down.

  • shuvrosettledo1 Shuvro (@shuvrosettledo1) reported

    @signalapp There is a huge problem that makes me not use signal. It's about the data. On iOS it was impossible and on Android I couldn't have my chats. My texts messages are important to me. I want my data to be with me anywhere I go. I don't want them wiped.

  • STP_KITT STP_KITT (@STP_KITT) reported

    @thisisjmx @signalapp Thanks for the answer. Problem is the debit card companies aren't any better.

  • MarieFehmarn 🇩🇪 Marié ☮️ Fehmarn 🇺🇦 (@MarieFehmarn) reported

    @pquade @signalapp No problem. :-) I mean everyone should decide for themselves what they do with their data and profiles, Im not going to mastodon.

  • MaheshKAhuja Mahesh Ahuja (@MaheshKAhuja) reported

    @signalapp Although I don't feel anything for stories, it might help with broader adoption. I wish you kept SMS support, but I understand it doesn't fit the security model. I do hope you could implement usernames or other form of ID replacing phonenumber.

  • JoshuaSteinman joshua steinman (🇺🇸,🇺🇸) (@JoshuaSteinman) reported

    @kpertsev @signalapp God help us all

  • SamDasTweets Sam ଦାସ (@SamDasTweets) reported

    @signalapp Please fix an annual/ monthly service charge, that shall be better. Just a suggestion.

  • lazerwalker emilia ✨ (parody) (@lazerwalker) reported

    @RainofTerra @signalapp Probably doesn't help you today, but part of their explicit public reasoning for killing Android SMS support was that being a blocker to moving away from phone numbers as usernames

  • A_Alkhouri84 بنت عبدالله (@A_Alkhouri84) reported

    @signalapp The application is not working after the last update

  • emendieren Emen Dieren ❤🖤 #Kassel #Watch (@emendieren) reported

    to people of #iran or other countries: we run a #signal proxy. in case your government blocks specific messenger services (such as @signalapp) but has not shut down internet completely, you can use it to bypass the block DM me for details if you're interested #IRanASignalProxy

  • lywyn Elmo Muggsy (@lywyn) reported

    @Android I have never had this issue texting my daughter's iPhone. SMS works fine and for anything more I recommend a secure text app over weak RCS. Try @signalapp for a better tick experience.

  • karl_louis_ Karl Louis (@karl_louis_) reported

    @signalapp Not working.

  • OfficialGirish Girish Kumar 🇮🇳 (@OfficialGirish) reported

    @signalapp Updated to latest version 6.2 and still same issue.

  • cra Chris Aniszczyk (@cra) reported from Austin, Texas

    had a dream that @signalapp built a public timeline service…

  • BarrySteeleNB 💧Barry Steele (@BarrySteeleNB) reported

    Why has @signalapp removed my contact list and replaced it with history? It's getting harder to use and with the dropping of SMS, this app is losing it's attraction very quickly. Give me back my landing page. This is terrible customer experience management.

  • vineettiruvadi Vineet Tiruvadi, MD, PhD (@vineettiruvadi) reported

    @signalapp Help them do e2e encryption #pls?

  • Tonys_Write Tony B (@Tonys_Write) reported

    @signalapp Can't believe you are pushing this over SMS. I will sadly have to find a new service.
