Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Wellthisisawkw6 Well, this is awkward (@Wellthisisawkw6) reported

    @mariam_zakarian @signalapp donate to a monopolistic service that undermines freedom?

  • Wellthisisawkw6 Well, this is awkward (@Wellthisisawkw6) reported

    @mariam_zakarian @signalapp WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption as well. I don't have my own messaging service and would promote messaging systems independent of a specific messaging service, because I don't like monopolistic messaging services like Signal and Whatsapp

  • EPhonegraphy ╰ ʷ ʰ ʸ ˢᵒ ˢ ᵉ ʳ ⁱ ᵒ ᵘ ˢ ╮ (@EPhonegraphy) reported

    @tcely @signalapp @ThreemaApp while that might be true, then what’s the point of using an “unstable” app that tends to down every now and then for some reason, especially for someone like me, that depends on social messaging app in my work environment a lot 🤔

  • Hes_Heating_Up Hes Heating Up (@Hes_Heating_Up) reported

    @MikeCoxCowes @signalapp I've been using this for a few years and honestly this is the first hiccup I've seen that affected service, maybe I've been lucky, but I'm a daily user. I'm fact I was responding to a message when I got this notification...

  • helengrace0108 The Queen Grace (@helengrace0108) reported from Mandaluyong City, National Capital Region

    Hi @signalapp are you fixing the group messaging feature now? It's still is not working. Help pls! Tnx

  • lily_prismatic Lily (@lily_prismatic) reported

    @signalapp Outgoing message delivered checkbox is not working for me on sent messages. I’ve confirmed via SMS that my contacts see my message in their Signal inbox, but it doesn’t show me just the “delivered” checkbox. Once they open it it shows “delivered” and “seen”.

  • Blur512 Shanti Elizabeth (@Blur512) reported

    @signalapp $DATS never went down 🚀🚀🚀

  • gajapal Gajpal Jeslan (@gajapal) reported

    Signal app not working @signalapp

  • mariam_zakarian Zakarian (@mariam_zakarian) reported

    @Wellthisisawkw6 @signalapp Read up on what end-to-end encryption means, I think you're lacking some key info about Signal. Or you're just here trying to promote your own messaging service, in which case, nice try.

  • fat__tire 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 (@fat__tire) reported

    @honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us legal requirement for back doors, a sustained ddos.. federation.

  • kisworo Anton Kisworo™ (@kisworo) reported

    @signalapp my apps still not working

  • lily_prismatic Lily (@lily_prismatic) reported

    @digitaleJedi @signalapp What is happening? On mine, the “delivered” checkmark is specifically not working. I get “delivered” and “seen” once contacts open a message but not “delivered” when they have it in their inbox but haven’t opened it yet

  • semafor Jonas Grønås Drange (@semafor) reported

    @basierterFlo @cskama @signalapp The point was, it’s okay to have down time, but signal needs to tell its users what happened and how they’re fixing it in order to establish trust.

  • EwanIngvald Ewan Ingvald (@EwanIngvald) reported

    @dunkaroosdotjpg @signalapp Same here. Feels like messages sent while it was out are kinda stuck and it's blocking new ones... Tried to delete them, did kit work... Perfectly working with people I didn't try to reach du while thé app was down, not in the conversations with pending messages...

  • MyanMediaWatch MyanmarMediaWatcher (@MyanMediaWatch) reported

    @kln_nurv @MayWongCNA @signalapp My signal was also down today, but now it is working as normal

  • CergaMihai Sebastian-Mihai Cergă (@CergaMihai) reported

    @soumyacpl @signalapp That's implicit in my case. NON SMS messages were not working in already established groups.

  • documentingoxen Documenting OXEN (@documentingoxen) reported

    @Ud_din_nizar @signalapp or run your @session_app service node ;)

  • rotten_ry Ryan (@rotten_ry) reported

    @signalapp It’s still not working.

  • Ritwik1001 Ritwik Raj (@Ritwik1001) reported

    @WolfeWaxer @shawnanston @signalapp uninstall and reinstall the app. It fixed the issue for me.

  • therealsc0t sc0t (@therealsc0t) reported

    @session_app @signalapp @session_app is never down due to its decentralized, onion routed architecture powered by the ox $OXEN

  • digitaleJedi Simon Malone (@digitaleJedi) reported

    @signalapp Nope, still not working here either

  • cskama Kai Mast (@cskama) reported

    @basierterFlo @signalapp From their tweet it sound like there was a single outage that took the whole service down. I don't remember the last time Whatsapp was down for this long (~6hrs), but obviously outages can still happen in a replicated setting due to networks partitions etc.

  • h3pl5 h3pl (@h3pl5) reported

    @Soft_Bred @session_app @signalapp Telegram is spookier than WhatsApp. But keep using a half-proprietary, hardly encrypted "service" that pulls people in by the premise of privacy and anonymity on the basis of it's claims. Even it's E2EE chats use an experimental encryption protocol.

  • LevAronofsky Léon Aronofr 🇫🇷Ⓥ (@LevAronofsky) reported

    @signalapp update : usually when there are problems, I get a notification in *red*, "not sent". Today, nothing. But now I'll now : One check mark : sent to Signal's central servers. (that's what I had). Two check marks : received by the person's device. (I didn't have the second one)

  • lily_prismatic Lily (@lily_prismatic) reported

    @WelzheimerPirat @signalapp @signalappde On mine the “delivered” checkbox is specifically not working. Once my contacts open the message I get “delivered” and “seen” check marks but never just “delivered”. Is that not working for you either?

  • __pity_ Julián Cortés (@__pity_) reported

    @ducheng0 @signalapp I think @session_app is better. It's anonymous and private. The problem is the same: users.

  • WolfeWaxer Maxine Wolfe (@WolfeWaxer) reported

    @Ritwik1001 @shawnanston @signalapp It's still broken for me :( really sux

  • goldnigga Dre (@goldnigga) reported

    @signalapp still having problems with sending

  • Marctraider M T (@Marctraider) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp @Facebook Signal is overrated, and as shown by this global outage its just another unsafe cloud based solution. We need to go back to p2p and self hosted alternatives. (Matrix maybe?)

  • fat__tire 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 (@fat__tire) reported

    @honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us law making signal difficult to run, a sustained ddos.. federation
