    @signalapp Currently (more precisely since updating iOS to 15.4) I don't get push notifications on new messages. I tried a lot like re-registering push registration, offloading the app and re-installing (v5.32.0.13), but didn't help. Do I need to completely de-install? Hope not.

  • BlagojaRistic Благоја (@BlagojaRistic) reported

    @signalapp Can you please help me, I do not receive the confirmation code when I’m trying to instal Signal. Any advice?

  • truelai ͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥtruelai ╪ͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥͥ (@truelai) reported

    People on iPhones having trouble downloading @signalapp from @AppStore? Seeing a couple cases myself. Download stuck at 0%

  • MevaPower F M G♫ (@MevaPower) reported

    @signalapp Due to the uptick in usage, is it effecting the system? I've had messages clocking for over an hour to send and calls not going or coming through. Help!

  • XcuseMyFro Nay (@XcuseMyFro) reported

    @signalapp Can you all fix the bug that’s causing messages to delay. It should not take days for me to receive a message.

  • KosselSimon Simon Basil Kossel Diatta (@KosselSimon) reported

    @Emmanue44067976 @signalapp @whiskeyish Lots of problem with signal. I'm trying to send a video and it says large file. I go to WhatsApp it compresses on its own and it works fine.

  • aussnkeller aok (@aussnkeller) reported

    @ilcreations @signalapp I've also been noticing that message delivery is delayed until the app is opened. Maybe an issue with Signal not being able to stay awake in the background?

    @signalapp what’s going on chaps, messages are coming in hours late and only when I open the app, re registered and then reinstalled and still same issues, not impressed

  • frauxirah xirah (@frauxirah) reported

    @signalapp Problems with the service? Messages don't seem to go out properly.

  • fichte42 Fichte42 (@fichte42) reported

    @signalapp We don't much care if you don't approve of the software we write. We know that software can't be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can't be shut down. Cypherpunks deplore regulations on cryptography, for encryption is fundamentally a private act.

  • tzriggs Thomas Zander (@tzriggs) reported

    Is @signalapp down or is Germany blocking it? These days these things are hard to tell.

  • iskrenmnchv ☮️Ιςκϰϵν 🐶🌍 (@iskrenmnchv) reported

    @signalapp have been trying to fix the application problem for two hours now! It doesn't work in SG Note8 and I have Android9 OneUIversion1.0 Other people can call me and I hear them, but I can't call and they don't hear me. Once I give permission for the phonebook and calls.

  • iamrexofficiall REX (@iamrexofficiall) reported

    @signalapp @Emmanue44067976 @whiskeyish Signal is down, I sent a message and it's has been pending for 7 hours yet not delivered, some contacts are working while others are not, especially when trying to reach out to friends in Europe 😢

  • naervern Nærvern (@naervern) reported

    @breal____ @Reuters @signalapp Such censorship has happened with other messaging apps previously. The demands are for means of persecuting individual users, to take down calls for protests and such. All that under the excuse of fighting internet crime

    @__racha @WhatsApp At the risk of sounding like a broken record….@signalapp time?

  • WesternCivic WesternCivicCapital (@WesternCivic) reported

    @signalapp Why will it not update? I get a message that it will be loaded on my phone "soon". (Which it will not allow me to screenshot) huh? Thus, my signal is currently not operative thus causing me problems. What gives?

  • Calabreez Peter (@Calabreez) reported

    @signalapp having a strange issue that seems to trigger when my network switches on Android

  • MrHackson MrH₳ckson.eth (@MrHackson) reported

    @leviglenhue @_mormaid @signalapp Now if signal gets off phone numbers as usernames then they could tackle this issue.

  • steinarren Steinar (@steinarren) reported

    @signalapp The last couple of weeks notifications from Signal have been unstable. Sometimes I get notofications when someone messages me and sometimes i don’t. Looked at the website but suggested solutions does not work/solve the problem. Is there a known issue? I use an iPhone 8
