  • negrone negrone (@negrone) reported

    @signalapp app no longer opening after latest beta update. On Samsung s21. This a known issue? Can't even get in to back up so I can reinstall.

  • _laura_gardner_ Laura Gardner (@_laura_gardner_) reported

    @signalapp Since the update, gifs I send in the app are just showing as static pictures. Little help?

  • PhoenixxSh00des Phoenix (@PhoenixxSh00des) reported

    @signalapp giphy searching is still broken in 5.9.7

  • Kendr90124388 Kendré (@Kendr90124388) reported

    @signalapp That's cool all! But when are you guys gonna fix the delay issues with sending and receiving messages? Sometimes I just be receiving messages that was sent 30 mins ago and I use @signalapp as my main texting app. Please fix this issue and add more features!

  • Cryptosphere14 Cryptomer (@Cryptosphere14) reported

    @signalapp Hey 👋 The problem of privacy is very obvious, we the people have become the product for the duopoly of FB and Google. An alternative way of how the ads are shown is needed and @AlkimiExchange is going to be world’s first decentralised ad exchange. Please check them out $ADS $DAG

  • operaisma ANTIFAbulous (@operaisma) reported

    @PinkoScare @signalapp I see. I dont think I had signal when that was the case, I was thinking about how currently it wants you to remember your PIN and occasionally asks your to input it to help you remember, but I don't think it forces you to input it or locks you out

  • Farfrob Rob Farfan (@Farfrob) reported

    @Clubhouse so far working fine on Android. I switched over the app from my ipad just now. But for some reason the invites i am sending to my contacts are not working. My default chat app is @signalapp @SignalMessenger. receipients don’t get the invite. :-(

  • intalik Intalik Jalál Milne (@intalik) reported

    @signalapp there are problems with the video functionality of your app on Android. Video chats lag and drop making it unusable. FYI

  • headgaar Edgar (@headgaar) reported

    @signalapp Guys you gotta fix your battery usage in android and iOS. Background activity eats a big portion of it.

  • t15_v vT15” (@t15_v) reported

    @guyrleech @signalapp Did you dump process before killing action ? Dev team should check it and fix - it seems to be memory leak…

  • _christianost Christian (@_christianost) reported

    @signalapp Some updates on this issue: I just installed the newest update I got in the meantime via the PlayStore (I'm a beta tester, the displayed version is 5.10.6) and now the app is directly crashing after startup, after I can see the list of messages for less than a second :/

  • Mr_HavalBarwari Haval Barwari (@Mr_HavalBarwari) reported

    @signalapp can you please fix the issue with contacts who remain in my signal contact list even after removing them from my iOS address book? It even won’t remove from windows desktop app contact list. This is very frustrating.

  • jadesharp1992 Jade Sharp (@jadesharp1992) reported

    @signalapp it's very difficult to find the send button, because voiceover does not read anything out, so if you could please fix this, a lot of your blind and visually impaired user base would be very greatful!

  • infinityhodl crypto betsy (@infinityhodl) reported

    @signalapp @onceusername Hey my signal has stopped notifying me on every device for the last week. Used signal for years. Not sure how to fix?

  • ZaherJT Zaher J. (@ZaherJT) reported

    @signalapp the importing feature on the desktop app, is giving me an error of not connecting to the internet. While I am connected on both devices to the internet!

  • mogulshri Shri Krishna 🇮🇳 (@mogulshri) reported

    @signalapp app is not working properly when i send messages it used to be disappeared pls fix it.

  • heisKingdavid Kingdavid (@heisKingdavid) reported

    @TheDailyShow Honestly i feel like crying. I've been talking about privacy for months. If Facebook dies no problem we have twitter. If whats app dies we have @signalapp . everyone should take cyber security seriously. Rn iphone us a necessity not luxury. Also less gmail and more @ProtonMail

  • stevemaximus Steve Smith (@stevemaximus) reported

    @signalapp whatever you changed in the gifs has basically made the gif search unusable. Please change it back. Search results are terrible!!

  • MichaelLipka Michael Lipka 🇨🇦 (@MichaelLipka) reported

    The audio quality of @signalapp voice calls is superior to that of Canada's wireless carriers. Even "HD" calls. For what consumers pay for wireless service in Canada, this shouldn't be the case. I'd rather use Signal anyways. No tracking of SMS or metadata.

  • sivavaid DR. SIVA VAIDHYANATHAN🗽🤘🏽 (@sivavaid) reported

    @GretchenSPeters @WildCrimePro @signalapp The libertarian fantasy of “consumer choice” is one reason we can’t crack down on abusing companies like Facebook. It becomes someone else’s problem.

  • leeejeffries Leee Jeffries (@leeejeffries) reported

    @guyrleech @signalapp Thats a terrible memory leak. What is the app?

  • Jodethetoad1 Jodie Kendrick (@Jodethetoad1) reported

    @WhichUK This happened to me in January and I have not been able to reinstate my WhatsApp account since. @wa_status have ZERO customer service, and despite me sharing screenshots of the scam, they will not reactivate my account. Dreadful service. Switched to @signalapp

  • jadesharp1992 Jade Sharp (@jadesharp1992) reported

    @signalapp hi, any plans to fix voiceover when you lock the recording on a voice message? You completely lose voiceovers audio, and it's very frustrating!

  • deniszanin Denis Zanin (@deniszanin) reported

    If you have problems dealing with PGP keys and sending me an encrypted message, feel free to use my pub. @signalapp number.

  • MischiMaya Michele (@MischiMaya) reported

    @signalapp my app is suddenly crashing every time I try to open it. Tried restarting phone, force closed app. Nothing worked. If I uninstall will I lose my messages? I have a new message I can't read bc of the crashing issue.

  • janomac2 🍃J҉A҉N҉O҉ 🌦 (@janomac2) reported

    @signalapp Good day I have a problem trying to register my phone number and I don't get the confirmation text so I can use the signal I can do?

  • david_billard David Billard (@david_billard) reported

    Many friends with recent #Huawei phone are experiencing problems with many apps (including #SignalApp ) that refuse to launch if #google play services are not installed. Why do all these apps *need* google play services? I can understand for some apps. But @signalapp ?

  • BitOfDoge BitOfDoge (@BitOfDoge) reported

    @naomibrockwell @signalapp @moxie Thanks for letting me know. A lot of people use antivirus and given that you waive all-out rights when you install it, I wonder how long it will.take till we have an issue with one of those. Best,

  • c_me66 wahid واحد (@c_me66) reported

    @signalapp why are you not on TikTok, it will really help to promote signal, I made a number of people to download signal coz of a TikTok video. Get on TikTok now!

  • CarlosMot Carlos Mota Liranzo (@CarlosMot) reported
