  • ranchisparrow ahana mukherjee (@ranchisparrow) reported

    @ShivAroor @signalapp The thing that users don’t understand is be it WhatsApp or Signal, privacy will always be a problem bcoz these are good platforms for corporates to do targeted advertisement. It’s just a matter of time. Digital platforms has all our details we have given out voluntarily.

  • AshishG70577483 Ashish Gautam (@AshishG70577483) reported

  • ba5ithk Basith (@ba5ithk) reported

    @signalapp Nobody, has ever designed a system that can gain 50 million users within couple of days and it’s not an issue. Take your time, we'll be here waiting because we know data is not only about privacy, but also about how control and power they have on us. #sayhellotoprivacy

  • johanneslaryea Johannes Laryea (@johanneslaryea) reported

  • ValdasVaitiekus Valdas (@ValdasVaitiekus) reported

    @MasterGuantai @signalapp oh no I juat noticed they went down to 4.4

  • ActuallySatya Satyajit Pradhan (@ActuallySatya) reported

    @JoshuaWeigert @signalapp Their user base has increased more than 10fold in such a short period of time. Their servers are having a hard time. They are working on a fix. All they need is a little bit of time and support.🙏 Please support @signalapp, it's the golden standard in terms of privacy.

  • johnnysundari john robertson (@johnnysundari) reported

    @signalapp hi @signalapp iv been using this app for about 2 years now. today, copy & paste is not working. i need to paste a message - its not happening. - samsung s5 help?

  • rajdipesser Rajdip kundu (@rajdipesser) reported

    Hey @signalapp how about asking for login pin/ fingerprint everytime one tries to open the signal app from phone or pc? I think it will add more privacy

  • JohnMcM1 John McManus 📺🎙📡 (@JohnMcM1) reported

    The @signalapp messaging app says it has resolved the technical problems that had plagued it over the past few days, after a flood of new users downloaded the service.

  • Subbu_1994 Hari Subramanian 🇮🇳 (@Subbu_1994) reported

    So now WhatsApp is putting up a status to stop people from migrating to @signalapp and @telegram. Signal has already hit 50Mn users, went down to upgrade it's capacity! Things are looking good already! #WhatsappStatus

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @signalapp Signal does not receive messages or notifications until it is opened. None of the troubleshooting options on your site to resolve this issue works. Most people around here who use different phones complain of this same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Kindly rectify it.

  • anirudh_g Anirudh Garudangiri (@anirudh_g) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp With the number of new subscribers increasing exponentially, you might want to temporarily turn off the new joiner notification (which comes up in the app as a new chat btw). This might help reduce the load on the server with the influx of new subscribers.

  • thepotatokitty Akshit Garg (@thepotatokitty) reported

    @signalapp Why not publish a root cause analysis report for the outage?

  • Nexus6it Gabriele Guidi (@Nexus6it) reported

    @DJHiorns @signalapp Just #donated 5$. If all the geniuses complaining would donate, probably we could avoid any future outage!

  • ad_kannadi Arun Daniel (@ad_kannadi) reported

    @signalapp Take your time but fix it. I am not going back to WhatsApp.

  • AniketBharajkar Aniket Bharajkar (@AniketBharajkar) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys, I’m experiencing an issue where my contacts who are on Signal aren’t showing up on my iOS device but they are there on Android. I tried turning On/Off the contact access but that didn’t work. @signalapp

  • JeevanVThomas Chowkidar Tommy (@JeevanVThomas) reported

    @kavinbm @telegram @signalapp He's right. The only means for such Indian apps to succeed is to have western apps banned. That's the effect of globalisation. It can't be stopped. Whoever offers a better product wins, no matter from which part of the world that service is offered from.

  • ekun_koya ekun-ish (@ekun_koya) reported

    @signalapp i can't use a +234 906 network ID number from Nigeria. Can you help?

  • TheThinkinGhost Punter (@TheThinkinGhost) reported

    @signalapp Can anyone help ??

    @signalapp Please fix all these bugs in signal app coz we are facing messaging issues

  • Subbu_1994 Hari Subramanian 🇮🇳 (@Subbu_1994) reported

  • Matto27502914 Matto (@Matto27502914) reported

    @signalapp When is the update coming? Mine is still not working ..Shall we re- install whatsapp?

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @Exallium @sweetkhanpk100 @signalapp This does not resolve the issue at all. Most people around me here who use different phones experience the same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Other messaging apps are working fine. This needs to be rectified
