Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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

  • Kumud_TS Kumud Teresa, PhD (@Kumud_TS) reported

    @signalapp We need the internet to help us, not rule us. Data privacy is a basic right. #SignalApp

  • waqar1khan Waqar Khan (@waqar1khan) reported

    @signalapp still not working on tecno phones. need your attention

  • InnerVoice2020 Inner Voice (@InnerVoice2020) reported

    @LowkeyRespond @signalapp Was down for more than 24 hours for me. Either that or my friends n family collectively decided to stop talking to me for 24 hours :)

  • AshishG70577483 Ashish Gautam (@AshishG70577483) reported

    @m___anny @signalapp I just gave you a possible explanation of the problem miss.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • haiMOUNT Misbahul Munir (@haiMOUNT) reported

    @signalapp No problem

  • FairLadyFran Francis Cook (@FairLadyFran) reported

    @signalapp Would we see these error messages if we missed a message? Could we have missed one with no warning? (Or were they ignoring me) 😝

  • 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.

  • Jessevd Jessevd (@Jessevd) reported

    @dfilskov @subhav_sharma @signalapp AFAIK messages are still relayed through their servers, but data is encrypted from end to end so they cannot be read. I don't know of any P2P service like that.

  • dsouza2004 Ad88 (@dsouza2004) reported

    @signalapp Love signal...but still not working....messages not sending

  • SenselessEarth Nick (@SenselessEarth) reported

    @Vamsin2000 @signalapp Terrible idea. Security and end to end encryption is the point of signal. Adding features such as payment or anything else that does not give signal full control of security diminishes the idea of the app. You want payments and other features? Use the other apps. I want privacy

  • ValdasVaitiekus Valdas (@ValdasVaitiekus) reported

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

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

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

    @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?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • thepotatokitty Akshit Garg (@thepotatokitty) reported

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

  • ManaEahart kaliflower (@ManaEahart) reported

    @signalapp Here's to @signalapp team for their hard work & massive effort resolving this issue 👏👏👏🥂

  • jmelick Josh Melick (@jmelick) reported

    Opening @signalapp these days shows like 20 new friends each time - lol and good. Problem is, I tried using it exclusively previously and it just isn’t as nice as @whatsapp - don’t miss this opportunity tho Signal!

  • 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.

  • ViejoEngineer Jose Madrid (@ViejoEngineer) reported

    @signalapp I had a different side effect where the app was crashing so I had to uninstall and reinstall. I didn’t have much history which is fine, but could be a problem for people who had history. Thought I would put my issue here.

  • samruddhi0 Samruddhi S (@samruddhi0) reported

    @b50 One more thing... Transiting from WhatsApp was easy due to @signalapp 's simple interface. Had it given a terrible user experience, we would not even consider it an option. So, thanks to them.

  • sandeepiroy Sandeep Roy (@sandeepiroy) reported

    @AravindhRagava @signalapp There’s a drop down arrow on right, choose whichever currency you want.

  • _iamandeep Amandeep (@_iamandeep) reported

  • 5yali3 5yali (@5yali3) reported

    @signalapp Calls is not working in uae why?

  • 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.

  • ad_kannadi Arun Daniel (@ad_kannadi) reported

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