@signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

@signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it
Bryan (@talktobryan) reported 9 minutes ago
@signalapp is down 😭😪
fabian (@fabianleitner) reported 10 minutes ago
@signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control
Eternal Imagination (@eternal747) reported 11 minutes ago
@KELECHUKWU_OTF @eazytvmedia The only problem with it is that it feels too casual. People don't use it for Professional Groups. I want to mention @signalapp here. People should really consider it, over WhatsApp.
Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported 14 minutes ago
@manasiwibi @signalapp Yes. It's still a problem. Hallo? Can you fix it signal?

@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?
David (@DavidRenoNV) reported 23 minutes ago
@GuntherEagleman @US_Minitrue @signalapp needs to shut them out of the service. They’re engaged in illegal activity.

@theonejvo @signalapp What was the fix? Sounded like an exposed control plane gave everyone access which seems somewhat intended?
Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported 27 minutes ago
@signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash

@signalapp Day 79. Silence is deadly. Iranians are being killed in the dark. Please, use your voice to help us be heard. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

@signalapp signal view once on iOS is useless since it allows receipt to take screenshots. Fix it plz.

@monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
🇸🇰 Ivan Jaros (@IvanJaros) reported 30 minutes ago
@TechloreInc @signalapp should fix this by only notifying about a received message and sender without preview of its content

Hey @signalapp The Problem With Reply voice message and VoiceOver is Back. If You reply To a Message With Voice Message and VoiceOver is enabled you Don’t cud Play The Message
Jamieson O'Reilly (@theonejvo) reported 43 minutes ago
@KieranOnBase @signalapp tldr: not the end of the world, this vuln only impacted users behind reverse proxies (which was still quite a number of users). patch is now merged to main code so all good for that specfic issue
Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reported 50 minutes ago
I use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

@VictoriaCFontan @signalapp Stop giving strangers your login.

@signalapp How about banning names like that? Won't fix it, makes it harder.

@signalapp you have a glitch. Your view once feature allows for a screenshot. Plz fix it.

@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.
Nasser (@nasser_kari) reported 59 minutes ago
I've enjoyed using @signalapp for a long time but this week I've tried hard to open it on my Windows laptop and each time am getting this error popup. Even after downloading it via the browser and Microsoft Store, the results are the same. Please @signalapp team, tell us what's going on with the Signal we all love.
