    @tipyn2903 @session_app @signalapp Lol, it's business my friend. If you cant provide the service someone else, thats how we get better products and increased competitiveness

    @signalapp Notice how @session_app doesn’t go down hmmm

    @edwardfirmo @signalapp I understand. That's why, it should be optional, with customizable frequency and a few options for the desired cloud to backup on (v/s local backup). The problem with local backup is it's not useful when you lose your phone - that's a big problem *for some*.

    @signalapp Do you have an ETA for the fix?

    @signalapp Why signal needs register with googlePlay? Running a degoogled android device getting error " Permanent Signal Communication Failure, Unable to register to google play"

    @signalapp Unfortunately still not working for me

    @disinthrallment @signalapp Agreed that fixing is the important issue, and I also offer that while I don't know for certain, it seems related to an issue with systems they don't directly manage (AWS, I believe) having problems—which complicates the matter, no doubt.

    @signalapp Thanks @signalapp , the app is working again. Awesome effort in fixing the problem. 👍

    @session_app @signalapp Hey guys, this is in really poor taste. By all means build great apps and further push privacy, but going to the competitors page for publicity when they are having an issue not in their control is imo not in the spirit of healthy competition. Might just be me tho?

    @signalapp #Bitcoin is never down. Just saying.

    @pipagaopoetry Apparently it's a hosting issue that is effecting alot of places but @signalapp have found the issue and are restoring it.

  • cskama
    Kai Mast (@cskama) reported

    @signalapp You need to be more transparent about what exactly happened or you will lose users for good. Is there a single hoster or data center that can take Signal down? If so, why is your service not replicated? Will you fix this in the future?

    @signalapp While they're trying hard to fix Signal, do remember there's this old-school thing called email that still works.

    @signalapp @session_app Wait this sounds like a promo, should’ve said “notice how decentralized services don’t go down” instead lmao

    @signalapp Failing to validate pin I've been using for years and worked earlier this morning. Part of this issue?

  • SayedAgha38
    Sayed Agha (@SayedAgha38) reported

    @signalapp This is so bad, even one second of distractions is leading to alot of lost to users, this should be fixed quickly and never be repeated again! And i am sure 99% of user have the problem and only 1% is solved in which youer can only text to (note to self)

    @signalapp May we know what is the potential reason? Anything we can do to help next time?

  • secolive
    Olivier Saudan (@secolive) reported

    @SajjanGurinder @signalapp Thanks for letting us know that the problem should be solved. I think the guys at Signal weren’t sure if they intended to do something about it or should simply keep the entire stuff down for no reason.

  • BacilDonovan
    Bacil Donovan Warren (@BacilDonovan) reported

    @disinthrallment @signalapp But that *still* doesn't hurt, because a customer experiencing a problem going to look at a status that then shows an issue—even if it turns out to be spurious—is more likely to just wait. Then, when the false alarm clears and their problem disappears, no harm done either way.

    @honkFl @signalapp Quick reminder that Signalapp's servers are a single point of failure for a secure encrypted messaging service that may have life and death consequences should it ever come under attack.

  • BafDyce
    Fabian (@BafDyce) reported

    @TechDesignau @JasMan1978 @signalapp We are not complaining about their service outage. What I am complaining about is the inability to send SMS (which shouldnt rely on signal servers at all) when there is a signal server outage. As this function should work even without internet connection.

  • fat__tire
    𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 (@fat__tire) reported

    @signalapp Someday this won't be a technical glitch but a substantial technical or legal attack. Please federate.

    @signalapp Any problems. With euro servers?

    @BacilDonovan @signalapp I see you haven’t been in a chat with the customer service person who gets the “it says you fixed the problem, but I still have issues” call.
