  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @anpandoh As with a lot of poor decisions Apple makes it should not be anything Android users know or care about. AirTags and iMessage are the two problems Apple created for everyone that didn't buy devices they made. AirGuard (from @seemoolab) & @signalapp are practically required now.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @DannyCasst You know your iPhone is the problem for sending SMS in the first place. Install @signalapp and you too can have private messages for Apple & Android devices.

  • sofiachqareuli Sofia Chqareuli (@sofiachqareuli) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp cant receive a verification code. No local operator restrictions. No restrictions on My details emailed to the support few days ago, no response piz help! Thnx! Everyone can reply

    Did you know that in the event of an internet outage @signalapp will remain functional? ✅ If you have downloaded @signalapp, please DM me, let's connect! 📳

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @wheelsee It doesn't work. Sending SMS is not a reasonable thing to do. For @signalapp, all the information you hand over is your phone number. Your default app is causing the problem.

  • KingOfCoders Stephan Schmidt 🚀 (@KingOfCoders) reported

    Idiots at @signalapp should fix the bugs instead of adding payments. Can't connect desktop to Signal as the mobile app does not recognize the QR code :-( (And I have been a Signal evangelist for many years)

  • ramboxapp Rambox (@ramboxapp) reported

    @DanieClaassen @signalapp doesn't have a web interface where we can add to Rambox, they only offer their service via their desktop clients. 😥

  • TerraPhoenixDes Dave Boehnlein (@TerraPhoenixDes) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Took a look, but didn't see my issue. Do you know if there is a way to send an SMS via Signal even if the recipient is a Signal user (i.e. bypass the encryption and send an unencrypted SMS on purpose)?

  • presentservices Matt "Mookie" Thayer (@presentservices) reported

    @moxie A few of us have an issue... @signalapp is not receiving or updating certain contacts (2-3 people) until the signal app is opened then we get all at once. Can't trust that Signal is going to update/notify us anymore. Tried messing with notifications and reinstalling. Halp?

  • toholdaquill J.M. Porup (@toholdaquill) reported

    Help me out here--a study a few years ago showed how easy it was to mitm Signal if users don't verify each other. My DDG-fu is failing me. Anyone? #infosec @signalapp

  • taeateit Tae Mcgrew (@taeateit) reported

    @signalapp My messages weren't sending, they were just showing the loading circle forever so I deleted and reinstalled the app. Now it is saying it is sending me a verification code but I am not receiving the code to my normal sms. What can I do to resolve this? Please help, thx.

  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @signalapp I'm having trouble with my app and trying to get help. How can I reach your customer service?

  • NickNewisle Niklas Nyholm (@NickNewisle) reported

    @signalapp Calls are very unreliable. I have issues with many contacts. Same problem; calls don't ring on the receiving end, even if the dial tone is heard on my end. Sometimes that call will arrive (ring) hours later, but if answered, nobody there. Happens on Android and iOS.

  • TechTheory21 Larry (@TechTheory21) reported

    @moxie @0xcharlie you should create an email service that private like @signalapp

  • PrototypeGamin9 Prototype Gaming (@PrototypeGamin9) reported

    @signalapp I am facing a problem with signal I only get notifications only when app is in background or its running

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @JuneOkal Apple made terrible choices compared to @signalapp.

  • Network_Guy JC (@Network_Guy) reported

    @badiucao @signalapp They have been soliciting funds this way for a few months now. I don't recall reading anything about financial problems.

  • Vespasianvs1 Andy 🏳️‍🌈🇪🇺💙 (@Vespasianvs1) reported

    @signalapp having a problem with 5.30.0. I can send individual photos but as soon as I try to select multiple photos from my gallery and press send, it closes the send message but nothing actually happens. Tried with multiple recipients and different images.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @mstk24192859 iOS + RCS won't solve this problem. It's just an upgrade to SMS after all. Try @signalapp for encrypted messages that work for both iOS and Android.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @jayn01a Did you install @signalapp on your iPhone? Just switching is contributing to the problem Apple created.

  • OskieMignon Oskie Mignon (@OskieMignon) reported

    @tcely @signalapp Problem is I'd be the only one in my circle to be using it.

  • sofiachqareuli Sofia Chqareuli (@sofiachqareuli) reported

    @signalapp cant receive a verification code, no local operator restrictions, no restrictions on 📱. My details emailed to support a few days ago no response. Plz Help! Thnx!

  • mainlyrock mainlyrock (@mainlyrock) reported

    It seems like the latest iPhone @signalapp update has removed my profile picture. Not a huge problem, but maybe this could be fixed

  • tim12s 𝕱𝖔𝖝/𝕾𝖊𝖆𝖌𝖚𝖑𝖑 𝖋𝖎𝖑𝖙𝖍 𝖌𝖗𝖎𝖋𝖋𝖎𝖓 🐺 (@tim12s) reported

    @signalapp Please explain why I should continue using your service when I get multiple texts 3 days late, and outgoing texts don't go out.

  • ernestognw Ξrnesto | ernestognw.eth 🦇🔊 (@ernestognw) reported

    @mengeroshi @signalapp Whisper basically died because of the lack of incentives to turn it on in while running an eth node. It's pretty old. Same happend to Swarm (IPFS like storage). @ethstatus was one of the main Whisper adopters, but they deprecated it in favor of a custom messaging service

  • bigdave914 Big Dave (@bigdave914) reported

    @signalapp please help it’s been months now. I’ve opened multiple support cases with no response.
