Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • CerebralWisdom Cerebral Wisdom (@CerebralWisdom) reported

    @signalapp Are you ever going to fix the MASSIVE PRIVACY PROBLEM of Signal automatically contacting people in your phone's address book?

  • Iglagoolagos An Alien (@Iglagoolagos) reported

    @signalapp @VaushV I don't have a cellphone because I don't travel much & don't want to pay absurd amounts of money monthly for something I'd never use. You claim to care about privacy, yet force me to sign a contract with a corporation to use your service. Total hypocrisy.

  • jakobjw Jakob 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🇺🇳 🌍 (@jakobjw) reported

    @signalapp Could you also build an Apple Watch app? Is there any intention to do this? I can offer to help if required. Since it's open source, can anyone just do it?

  • HenrySabio Henry (@HenrySabio) reported

    @tveastman @signalapp We can’t expect regular people to teach themselves and convince other people to use things like PGP. But we can help them make sure they know who they are talking to is who they are talking to AND keep that communication private. That’s the point here.

  • mewtwozero PJ (@mewtwozero) reported

    @pixelnull @signalapp No it can’t signal does not keep those records the only way they would know who you messaged and what you said is to gain access to the device at which point it makes no difference what messaging service you use.

  • DrewJohnsonPhx drew Johnson (@DrewJohnsonPhx) reported

    @startpage @signalapp Write your emergency # on arm w/sharpie. Take what you need. Leave extra stuff at home or in car. Don't restrict right of way, don't disturb business's, don't damage, destroy, hurt. Avoid problem areas. Follow police instructions. Let your message be known. Be safe.

  • mjavsykb Bea (@mjavsykb) reported

    @signalapp Before you try to use current events to increase downloads, you should fix the glaring confidentiality issues. Don’t give people more to be insecure about.

  • notegone Ivan (@notegone) reported

    @signalapp I think I would like to be able to use the standard Windows title bar and menu bar on Signal-Desktop even when using dark mode. The JavaScript thing regresses a lot of behaviors and I already had a Windows theme to fix the color the menu bar

  • jamadan_dev Jamadan (@jamadan_dev) reported

    .@signalapp tried to transfer to a neew device and seem to have lost all my messages Still available on my mac app. can you help?

  • bengal_pup Atiq Rahman (@bengal_pup) reported

    @signalapp @AlecMuffett Totally junk app! Incoming call notifications are broken for weeks!!!! Their CEO/developers are lazy a$$ sh!ts doesn’t give a f*ck!!! No reps sent in GitHub issues either!!

  • weems raging at injustice Abolish Qualified Immunity (@weems) reported

    @drugwaractivist @signalapp @telegram It's scary how people are doing that sort of thing. What sad is people organizing in blue states will be harming the people they wanted to help.

  • MarshallApplew5 Marshall Applewhite Law (@MarshallApplew5) reported

    @RichFelker @signalapp @yuvipanda They won't. People have been trying to get them to fix various glaring issues for years now. They're too busy adding sticker packs to care.

  • TheRealBent130 Bent (@TheRealBent130) reported

    @pixelnull @signalapp @OSINTtechniques They're not just being asked to trust Signal's code, but also their servers, since they'll likely be using them if they just get the app as-is. See last year's VPN exit node *********** for why that's an issue.

  • 1flyfishgirl 🍷FlyFishGirl🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 (@1flyfishgirl) reported

    @signalapp And help cover up crimes!

  • strangesparrow Strangesparrow (@strangesparrow) reported

    @signalapp FURTHERMORE: Read up on OPSEC! Use an encrypted service. Don't like **** on FB or Insta. Don't post pics from protests or actions. Don't forget covid is still a thing. Mask ******** up.

  • ItzVRL ItsVRL 🛡️ (@ItzVRL) reported

    @signalapp Badges is cool, Google pay is not. But if my Signal Sun can help I'm grateful for the project. I'll continue my support.

  • fonytauci 𝕗𝕠𝕟𝕪 (Havana syndrome survivor) (@fonytauci) reported

    @tveastman @signalapp Telegram has the same problem and i don’t know how to turn it off on either app

    @tveastman @signalapp Telegram has the same problem and in don’t know how to turn it off on either app

  • gothlacroix QAnus (@gothlacroix) reported

    @runasand the problem: every company ever says they offer "encryption" but consumers don't know that what they're being pitched isn't like @signalapp

  • ehrlich_will WIll A. Ehrlich 古亨特 (@ehrlich_will) reported

    @signalapp @anniefryman Well fix the iOS notification bug, then, god damn it.

  • pixelnull ———————————————————p̴̴i̴̴x̴̴e̴̴l̴̴n̴̴u̴̴l̴̴l̴ (@pixelnull) reported

    @mewtwozero @signalapp it does matter if A) you can't afford a cell phone service, or B) you want to use an old phone for these types of conversations and don't want service on it

  • nnnnicholas nnnnicholas.eth⛱ (@nnnnicholas) reported

    @tveastman @signalapp tom is right this feature is terrible

  • reznavajo Just a guy on an Indian reservation (@reznavajo) reported

    @tmprowell @signalapp It's the only messaging app I have ever used. But the pwd lock absolutely doesn't work on my Android. Also, if you go from Android to iPhone, all msgs are lost. No help from @signalapp on such issues.

  • natashamynhier Natasha Mynhier (@natashamynhier) reported

    Resources women can use to protect their privacy (against surveillance) while messaging, researching, or sending money. Private messaging - @signalapp Private research - use a VPN Private money transfer - @zcash DM for help on how to use. Inspired by @durumcrustulum

  • rorypresley Humble & Hungry Rory (@rorypresley) reported

    Switch to @signalapp for fully private communication. If you need any help, please reach out to me.

  • mfoktaeder MF (@mfoktaeder) reported

    @Georgy763 @jonahcockshaw @signalapp Signal and Telegram are not working the same in the backend, I wish it would be possible to have a conversaton on the Phone and continue on an other device, last time I tryed it was not possible, therefore I use rather Telegram even tho its less secure

  • NachoCarrilloG NachoCarrilloGuzmán (@NachoCarrilloG) reported

    @signalapp The problem is, every single app in this world says this words! Which one of you we should trust? None of you

  • sebbikul Sebbikul ∞/21M (@sebbikul) reported

    @Squinkii @signalapp @tehemopenguin (1/x) To help others. Currently, 4.2 billion people are living under authoritarian rule that violate the most basic rights. (Source: HRF) A study conducted by Nature Communications found that an artificial neural network can identify individuals with 14.7% accuracy
