  • drharisaslam Muhammad Haris (@drharisaslam) reported

    @Peter57570148 @signalapp Yes thats why i installed that but facing issues for more than 12 hours now. I know its because of growing users and load but they should have anticipated that and action should have been quick

  • BorjeLundin1 Bröderna Sven o Borje Lundin (@BorjeLundin1) reported

    @signalapp Maybe it's a good idea to block new users until server problem is fixed. So we don't risk a total collapse. Otherwise, thanks for a good app.

  • EliasAarnio Elias Aarnio (@EliasAarnio) reported

    FYI @signalapp : on at least Linux desktop app we are receiving a lot of errors saying "Error iprocessing incoming messages." Some friends of mine have over 10 000 of them caused by one or few messages at max. This said, I am extremely happy about the capacity problems. :D

  • Grafpixel1 Grafpixel® (@Grafpixel1) reported

    @signalapp Sorry I just deleted my app because it is not working.

  • MurusalH Murusal Hassan (@MurusalH) reported

    Just Installed @signalapp Now the main issue I have to find friends who use this.

  • l0adr geneva (@l0adr) reported

    I understand what it's like to have a large service down. and in the case of Signal, it's the pressure times over 70000 times. Thanks for the swift recovery @signalapp, take a break!

  • davidebrady David E Brady (@davidebrady) reported

    @bellja747 @simpgunner @signalapp It's been down since yesterday

    @signalapp In iran we have problem from last night

  • JessicaMulein Jessica Mulein (@JessicaMulein) reported

    @CedarStoneTower @ashtonpittman @signalapp Technically some on-phone text analysis pre-sending could maybe help but that's.. yeah.. not how that platform works.

  • PreciselyPriv Precisely Private (@PreciselyPriv) reported

    @signalapp Any update on how things are going on your end and/or an ETA on when the service will be fully operational again?

  • Viking_Buda Viking_Buda (@Viking_Buda) reported

    @signalapp Take your time fixing the problems my friends, privacy is priceless. It's better to take the time needed to fix what it has to be fixed than rush it and putting privacy at risk 👌💪

  • MichelleCaira Michelle Caira (@MichelleCaira) reported

    Feel really sorry for @signalapp - all that time waiting on folk finally finding a WA alternative - and the system is down for a long time. Telegram still working though :-) #signaldown #SignalApp #telegram

  • i_tkumar T Kumar (@i_tkumar) reported

    @signalapp Take your time!! First time I am feeling happy about service being non-available. We want you to come with bang & screw #WhatsApp.

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @LovEcosophy @signalapp @session_app 4.5* not bad for an app that has had some pretty shitty reliability issues up until now.

  • venusdevotee2 venus devotee 🌺 (@venusdevotee2) reported

    @WhatsApp deleted Facebook and whatsapp, deleted messenger too ages ago. never going back, and I'm so so happy with @signalapp 's service and privacy. thanks for giving me a reason to delete Facebook and whatsapp!!

  • red_zelda RedZelda (@red_zelda) reported

    @signalapp Uff. Reading this reminded me, that I hate people. Everyone should be aware that no service in this world ist prepared for quintupling their users in a matter of a few days! Can everyone just chill and wait? Nobody will die from not being able to send a text for one evening -.-
