  • RichyLogitech Richy Logitech (@RichyLogitech) reported

    @signalapp This is your time, fix it faster please. And make it accessible to all countries not just chosen ones.

  • WAYNE_IZ_BATMAN WAYNE (@WAYNE_IZ_BATMAN) reported

    @signalapp after reinstalling the signal app i am not getting notifications. I have to open the app everytime to check new messages. Help!

  • di5ko Erik de Jong (@di5ko) reported

    @signalapp I'm in a group chat where I can't see any messages of a certain participant, while others can. How to fix?

  • CphD 🇲​🇦​🇷​🇹​🇮​🇳​ (@CphD) reported

    @AnirbanRoyy @signalapp Check on the first one, I agree an "immediate" option would be ideal. Never missed it in praxis myself, though. The second one, I don't understand, why is it a problem that you can do it with other apps as long as it is not possible with Signal? maybe photo to explain?

  • current_thread current_thread (@current_thread) reported

    @signalapp Will there be a postmortem on the outage?

  • DayaKathir Daya Kathir (@DayaKathir) reported

    @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp Yes, Same issue here.

  • TheGrumpyMartin Martin Nobel (🇫🇷🇷🇪 ) (@TheGrumpyMartin) reported

    @DayaKathir @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp Uncheck Signal from Super clean mode resolved this issues for me.

  • _endormi 456e646f726d69 (@_endormi) reported

    @signalapp Those were surprised that the service went down after million downloads a day are ridiculous. You couldn't possibly be prepared for such an amount within a day. Good Job!

  • BroccoliBeton Broccoli Béton (@BroccoliBeton) reported

    @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp Had the same problem. At first quite a while ago. Fixed it by toying with the notification parameters in my phone's settings (Android user). Never had the issue since

  • janvlug Jan Vlug 🌱 🤍❤️🤍 (@janvlug) reported

    @Eldroga75 @signalapp For a few contacts, after the server problems at Signal, I also had the "bad encrypted message", I think for one contact I had to reset the session both on my phone and as well on my Signal desktop.

  • sriganeshr Sriganesh Raman (@sriganeshr) reported from Chennai, State of Tamil Nādu

    @TinaGurnaney as #hikemessenger closes down, I'm thinking about your question as to why it lost? It had so many features. @signalapp which probably is very basic is winning. Why? @kavinbm #messaging

  • ahmetsekmen1453 احمد (@ahmetsekmen1453) reported

    @signalapp There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. The content of the gifs is in a state of harm to morality It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

  • bonbonparteh bonbonparteh (@bonbonparteh) reported

    @signalapp A major problem I’ve been experiencing for some time now is that when I call someone via Signal their phone doesn’t ring. When they open a Signal they only get a missed call notification even though I’m still trying to call them.

  • functrainer David Hanlon (@functrainer) reported

    @MorgeMoensch @signalapp Sorry, didn't see it because I had to scroll down. Perhaps a visual at a later stage for us n00bs :)

  • Kei0x Kei0x (@Kei0x) reported

    @heyDivyanshu @signalapp No, it doesn't take a min to rollout and no, you can't just fix everything at once. That's not how it works. Also, it's the weekend and their workers are still going at it. Have some empathy.

  • vantex24 David 🎲 (@vantex24) reported

    @signalapp Still got issues, some groups I can't see posts but can post to but others cannot see Nor can some messages get received to some contacts, while others are getting messages fine very weird

  • plmorpheus Przemek Malik 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇵🇱 (@plmorpheus) reported

    @signalapp I have still issues with sending photos and movies, especially movies. It take to much time, yesterday sending 10-15 photos took ca. 30 min. And no, this is not my net problem. Sending these same photos thru WhatsApp in the same time took ca. 45 sec...

  • TheHuti Huti (@TheHuti) reported

    @signalapp just so as you know, there are still people having issues with sending and receiving messages

  • simonevdm Simone (@simonevdm) reported

    Can you please take note @signalapp ? This will help with the privacy of your users. Please stop the automatic join notifications, if only if one of the contacts is not on the other phone. That is really creepy to me.

  • jknair0 JK (@jknair0) reported

    @signalapp Hey @signalapp the images sent from Android to iOS shows up as some weird file WAI file. This is there before the server error.

  • _melodiousthunk Strahinja Boljevic (@_melodiousthunk) reported

    @JonaceKabaso @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp Try going to settings and allowing Signal to run in the background. It's a notification issue, not with the app I think.

  • watching_ju ju (@watching_ju) reported

    @utzer @gaurav_ksinha @signalapp This online-status is also a big privacy issue, I guess WA and others are using it for tracking, as the app is constantly sending messages to their servers including additional infos (like IP).

  • _cluxter_ cluxter (@_cluxter_) reported

    @rucci_harucci @signalapp You have to use something to send text messages at some point. So he should use the best thing which currently exists. If Signal betrays us at some point (which I doubt but who knows), he can switch to something else. Whatever he uses, he will face this potential problem anyway.

  • ananth Ananth Composes (@ananth) reported

    I'm not getting any replies in my signal chats? Is it due to @signalapp outage or simply people are avoiding me 🤔

  • MrKeyXY K. Braun (@MrKeyXY) reported

    @signalapp During outage I sent my friend a msg. It could be sent (1 tick) but it didn't reach him. Today I sent a msg again. It arrived immediately & was read (2 filled ticks). Unfortunately, status of first msg is unchanged. Is there anything I can do to repeat transmission?

  • Healing_Cross Marcus Tesch (@Healing_Cross) reported

    Part of the problem with alternative messengers might be explained with this phenomenon. Sending a message to your friends with #WhatsApp: "Hey, dude, I just want to inform you: I sent you a message with @signalapp or @ThreemaApp rsp. Won't you answer me?

  • Mydomain188 Mydomain (@Mydomain188) reported

    @signalapp Why not signal. app if you need I can help you get it.

  • ahmetsekmen1453 احمد (@ahmetsekmen1453) reported

  • somerville73 Aidan Somerville (@somerville73) reported

    That @signalapp is seriously annoying! No desktop client and you have to “verify your pin” ie login, everyday. Not a fan

  • Mafi_Actual Mafi (@Mafi_Actual) reported

    @signalapp I mean, great I guess, but you still don't have total security because of the IME vulnerability. Maybe fix that?
