    @signalapp good morning. Since yesterday I have an urgent problem with my app. When I open the app and go to any chat, the app closes. I can’t read and send anything anymore. I have an ‘old’ iPhone 6 Plus. Please advise as I use no other chat app anymore. Thank you.

  • IvanMcKz Iván ✖ McKenzie (@IvanMcKz) reported

    @signalapp messages are not delivering to the other side (too much late double ticks), can’t make audio call or video call, though I and my counterpart have good internet connection. Can you please help me?

  • PortalezRegis Regis Portalez 👋 (@PortalezRegis) reported

    @signalapp down ?

  • s_molgaard Sune Mølgaard (@s_molgaard) reported

    Hi @signalapp, If someone doesn't want to use Signal anymore, how can I, with Signal as my normal handler of SMS, send them messages that actually get through to them? In other words, how would that person remove themselves from your service?

  • RichaSinha1608 Richa (@RichaSinha1608) reported

    @signalapp you guys…please check your server communications..I am a regular user of signal and previously there used to be some instances when messages did not get delivered to the other party until they open the app. But lately this issue has increased

  • chintan_connect Chintan (@chintan_connect) reported

    @signalapp I love your app but I've been unable to access it ever since it asked me to upgrade. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times. The app is on my phone but I'm not allowed to open it. Could you please help me? I'd like to use Signal again.

  • FatMandysBack Fat_Mandy (@FatMandysBack) reported

    @benjamistan @signalapp Feels like they've found security issues that need immediate patching

  • tiptech_ Muk3sh (@tiptech_) reported

    @signalapp @moxie signal should impliment email login insted of mobile no. Login that makes it more private

  • JEhrenhofer Justin Ehrenhofer 🏳️‍🌈 (@JEhrenhofer) reported

    @CryptoTweetie @skatcat743 @signalapp You can look up their latest IRS filings. They spend millions a year on staff, servers, and SMS verification. Their donations are effectively a rounding error.

  • linuxdaddy Justin Cook (@linuxdaddy) reported

    @signalapp is eating my iPhone battery. This is since #ios 14.6. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • MedicPlastic Doc. Block (@MedicPlastic) reported

    @signalapp hey, it would be great if you could have linked android devices on one account for signal. As of ymnownyou can't have an Android phone and tablet linked on signal. But you can have an Android phone and iPad.... Come on signal, help a brother out.

  • found2021 Found2021 (@found2021) reported

    @signalapp I can’t seem to be able to delete my work number on signal as I have changed jobs ! I have a different number. Please help out thanks.

  • FelicityMillman Felicity (@FelicityMillman) reported

    Has anyone else got this notice on their desktop @signalapp recently? It required a new download/install and happened while open 😬 "Unhandled Promise Rejection Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '[REDACTED]\temp\[REDACTED]e62\signal-desktop-win-5.7.0.exe.sig' "

  • rwentzel Richard Wentzel (@rwentzel) reported

    @signalapp Hi! I want to register a 12-digit (097) number for the use of Signal in the Netherlands. I got an error, invalid number. Any tricks? It is a data-only sim.

  • Mr_HavalBarwari Haval Barwari (@Mr_HavalBarwari) reported

    @signalapp When a link is sent to a contact very fast, more often than not the link previews doesn’t generate. Can you guys fix this? It should preview regardless of send speed. Please.

  • imzalar2020 imzalar2020 (@imzalar2020) reported

    @signalapp Voice search also has problems. No sound, please take care of it?

  • dtugend Dominik Tugend (@dtugend) reported

    Can someone test if @signalapp has the same problem?

  • dgoosens Dmitri Goosens (@dgoosens) reported

    @PodcastAddict I have no issues what so ever to finetune my Linux laptop... Freedom comes at a price But... I'm not a smartphone addict, just want to call, send messages via @signalapp, some #twitter and listen to #podcasts I don't want to change phone every two years #KISS

  • thejaspersamuel Jasper Samuel J (@thejaspersamuel) reported

    Sold WhatsApp even after knowing FB privacy problems,then left Whatsapp because of FB's monetization. Started @signalapp now going to sell it Amazon? Then they'll monetize signal you'll start another app. Liar @brianacton

  • CryptoTweetie ℭsilla Brimer (@CryptoTweetie) reported

    @__Raphanus @skatcat743 @signalapp I don’t know. Maybe a smart contact? Integration of some kind of centralized service? Automation? Software devs should get creative here.

  • AMajalee A. Majalee (@AMajalee) reported

    @signalapp I don't get any call notification when someone calls me via video/audio call. But later on get a notification that there was a missed call. Am I the only one facing this issue or is it universal?

  • codename_water CodenameWater (@codename_water) reported

    @signalapp please change the color scheme back to pervious one or just make it optional. And app is lagging sometimes and video calls are very distorted. Can u please look into these issues in next update?

  • lmartinezpr Luis Anthony Martinez (@lmartinezpr) reported

    @signalapp @jna_sh I am not able to automatically download images to my photo library, I have the correct access and all people that I know off using iOS has the same problem… please fix this.

  • Lewified Ben Lewis (@Lewified) reported

    @StreamlinedWill @signalapp @mobilecoin I just tipped a friend in #Monero for helping with solve a tech issue. Seems legitimate to me.

  • dtugend Dominik Tugend (@dtugend) reported

    I wonder if @signalapp solved this problem in a different way.

  • edwradio Ed Williams (@edwradio) reported

    It's the latest development in the story we broke last April showing that NM officials were using @signalapp for official business and then deleting their messages—likely violation of #opengov laws and big problem for foster kids' lawyers

  • Silbers_ Silbers (@Silbers_) reported

    @signalapp The privacy is nice and all that but the server problems and the delay of sending messages is AWFUL. If this continues I will have to switch to a different Messenger. I can't have my messages arrive 30 minutes later!

  • AtaKent9 Ata Kent : 𐰃𐰖𐰃:𐰏𐰇𐰤𐰠𐰼:𐰱𐰃𐰤 🌬 (@AtaKent9) reported

    @signalapp The only problem during video calls is the network if it is of poor quality, Signal has trouble managing to degrade the video to stabilize the communication.

  • dizzyke Brian Dykeman (@dizzyke) reported

    Is it just me @signalapp or do other iPhone 6 users have an issue with front facing camera pictures sent through the App being rotated one step counter-clockwise? This issue didn't present until about three updates of the App ago.
