@Jmw986 @signalapp The problem is, it was hard to convince people. And suddenly the app doesn't work anymore because of the lack of updates. Many people don't want to use it any more. Then they prefer to write via whatsapp. For some, that's too much effort for too few chat partners.

You know what I like about @signalapp? It's inclusive. As long as you have a supported version of Android or iOS it works. It's a party where everyone is invited. I turned off iMessage on my devices because I was tired of a service that worked for half the people I know.

@signalapp @KultureShop Chinese government has blocked all SMS sent from abroad to mainland China. We people living in China can't receive any SMS from abroad. So we can't use signal. Please find a solution to solve this problem.

@signalapp could you please look into the feedback sent a few days ago regarding Signal-iOS slowing down and overheating an iPhone 12? I think it might be caused by frequent network disconnects, but not sure. I would much rather be using Signal than iMessage

.@signalapp - I was prompted to update my MAC desktop version. It took me to the full install (re-install) and now won't start - "Optimizing Application" (hanging there). I've tried re-boot and re-install. Still same. Any help?

@signalapp I deleted my WhatsApp account this week. Sometimes we need to ask, How much data to we want to give 1 company? Why do we 'accept' for convenience? Why do we allow 1 company to collect data on us when we haven't signed up to that service?

@bellja747 @signalapp I've swapped phones Multiple times while I've had this issue. I've also tested it with other apps that replace your default SMS AKA WhatsApp and used Google's default messaging app. And only signal does it.

@AzoraMoon @signalapp This. I could use it for client texting, etc if that wasn't a requirement. They don't know me, and I don't know them, so no one wants to give out their real number. Please fix this, @signalapp!!!

Having issues with sign in, My usual Verification PIN isn't going through which is very odd considering I have been using the same PIN to verify monthly. What could be the issue (No option for Fingerprint login which was working a couple of minutes ago) @signalapp

@Signalapp Please make it so that if somebody doesn't actually have service, the audio call won't play the ringing sound. It's annoying that I'll think somebody is ignoring me when in fact, their phone never rang in the first place because they didn't have servce. #Signal

@Fervent403332 @signalapp If the issue is as serious as you say you should document the problem on their GitHub, or official forums. Spamming them on Twitter is not going to get you the kind of attention you're looking for.
