    @michaelcaster Maybe such censorship will help @signalapp to realize the registration without phone number. This is the only way to help people in affected countries.

  • Yufeng12153210 Yufeng (@Yufeng12153210) reported

    @signalapp @CinnamonMelody2 hi there, I tried to sign an account in the mainland China but couldn’t get the verification code or call. Plz help me fix this issue asap

  • redeeenn mxcxrons (@redeeenn) reported

    @signalapp Help!

  • bengal_pup Atiq Rahman (@bengal_pup) reported

    @signalapp Developer don't look at github issues. They don't resolve them. They don't comment!! Dictatorship, lousy eng. team at Signal App! cc @elonmusk

  • Immorta68383222 Immortal (@Immorta68383222) reported

    @disclosetv Just uninstalled it 👍🏻 Lets hope that @signalapp speeds up its service

  • KitDiesel1 Kit ꑭ Diesel (@KitDiesel1) reported

    @WiteWitch_ @signalapp can you please help?

  • grage52 Greg (@grage52) reported

    @timetogrow_up @katieb050 @signalapp Stand down. POL and other things established and verified.

  • achornback Andrew Hornback (@achornback) reported

    @threatresearch @signalapp Timing? Network latency? I have a similar issue with the same sort of MFA setup in an on-Prem application. If the timer is more than halfway done, I have to wait for the next code.

  • MelanievonBraun Melanie von Braun (@MelanievonBraun) reported

    @michaelcaster @GreatFireChina @signalapp Cracking down on secure messager apps is a bit of a whack-a-mole, game isn‘t it? How about Threema, which doesn‘t use a phone number for identification at all?

  • KYCfree 𝕂𝕐ℂ³ (@KYCfree) reported

    @orangedmike @signalapp is a great messenger service if you wish to use a single application for both E2EE & SMS messages. If you aren't interested in combining SMS then you can avoid submitting your phone number altogether by using @session_app instead 😎

  • akhmxt Kalim (@akhmxt) reported

    So if you regularly use @signalapp on iOS, you might have encountered this issue where your phone's screen will completely freeze when you answer a call. I have been facing this issue for two months now. At first I thought it was only with my phone but its actually quite common.

  • MichaelLwk Michael Loh (@MichaelLwk) reported

    @signalapp VER 5.39.0.15 forwarding list keeps jumping and doesn't scroll as before. It is not as responsive as before on IOS15.5, really horrible as hv to trial n error in order to JUST select my 5 contacts. U guys indeed messed up.

  • HasanASaleem SS (@HasanASaleem) reported

    I love @signalapp as recommended by @elonmusk . I shifted in the wake of Whatsapp related privacy issues. However, (according to #threema) even Signal is not GDPR compliant, remains at the mercy of the US judges, and had their last audit in 2014.

    @signalapp registration problem

  • BTCBoromir ₿itcoin ₿oromir (@BTCBoromir) reported

    I've had increasing issues recently with @signalapp where my calls won't ring for others and they will just get a missed call notification. Same thing for calls I receive. I'll never get a notification and then ask of the sudden I have a missed call. Anyone else have this issue?

  • leavemydata GoIncognito (@leavemydata) reported

    @signalapp hi there. Im facing an issue where my contacts dont appear in signal contact list unless they send me a message. Anyway to fix that? Thnx

  • bengal_pup Atiq Rahman (@bengal_pup) reported

    @signalapp We do. But it doesn't feel like you prioritize most basic features enough i.e, audio calls, video calls, group calls. Incoming call notifications are broken! I don't know why I am sticking with this app despite continuous tons of issues!

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @PaddyOFurnitu18 @signalapp What does pending mean? That they have been sent but not yet arrived? Can you describe your problem in more detail?

  • alanbeattie Alan Beattie (@alanbeattie) reported

    @signalapp Hi, have problem with Signal. Can I DM you or call someone?

  • OwPremiere Outwit Premiere (@OwPremiere) reported

    @signalapp i'm having issues when trying to install the app. I'm using @CalyxOS. It saya that won't work till google playa services are updated. Any tío?

  • gregorylolson Greg Olson (@gregorylolson) reported

    @Sarahngb @signalapp No problem here - just used it to call a friend

  • michaelcaster Michael Caster (@michaelcaster) reported

    1/4 🚨🚨 I'm hearing early reports that #China has further escalated its crackdown on @signalapp. This is terrible for civil society who have been able to use Signal for secure communication. #Encryption

  • PatrickBody92 Patrick Body (@PatrickBody92) reported

    @michaelcaster @signalapp I had an issue trying to set it up due to blockages last November time? Something like that. So might have been going on for a while longer than you’re currently aware of

  • jakobjw Jakob 🇺🇦 🇪🇺 🇺🇳 🌍 (@jakobjw) reported

    @glennsorrentino @signalapp Next: Get aunty off a centralized service ; )

  • bbatsov Bozhidar Batsov (Bug) 🇺🇦 (@bbatsov) reported

    @ccoetzee1 @signalapp I totally get this. It's hard to overcome the power of the network effect. :( Fortunately WhatsApp was never very popular in Bulgaria, but unfortunately the most popular messenger service is FB Messenger... And the second most popular is Viber. :(

  • wayfaring_BTCer Wayfaring Bitcoiner (@wayfaring_BTCer) reported

    @BTCBoromir @signalapp I’ve had this issue too

  • bbatsov Bozhidar Batsov (Bug) 🇺🇦 (@bbatsov) reported

    @Vasko_Georgiev1 @signalapp Signal is OSS, end-to-end encrypted and respects your privacy. FB mines all the Messenger and WhatsApp convos, regardless of their claims they don't. Viber isn't any better IMO. Telegram is kind of OK, but Signal is definitely the most trustworthy messenger service today.
