    @signalapp signal app have a bug ! if i shared any links in typing box and close the app links repeats in typing box please fix the box

  • Imthebest14life Imthebest14life (@Imthebest14life) reported

    @signalapp theres an option in signal where i can make messages disappear if I start new conversations only. Why cant messages disappear if people message me and i have it enabled? I dont like the fact how the other user can disable disappearing messages. Fix this! @signalapp

    @faltenbalg @signalapp The fundamental problem with web interfaces is: there's no way to version, sign and securely distribute a web page. Instead, you're re-requesting the code you'll run every single time you visit the site (making audits practically impossible).

  • MuirMic SivilianOnBace (@MuirMic) reported

    @bellja747 @signalapp I've swapped phones Multiple times while I've had this issue. I've also tested it with other apps that replace your default SMS AKA WhatsApp and used Google's default messaging app. And only signal does it.

  • harshdeepsethi Harsh (@harshdeepsethi) reported

    @signalapp I have had an issue with video calls on speaker mode. Very low voice. ios user

  • MuirMic SivilianOnBace (@MuirMic) reported

    @bellja747 @signalapp It literally corrupts any image not just degrade them. I can take resolution scaling down but when half the image is missing there's something very wrong

  • wraithdu Erik (@wraithdu) reported

    @signalapp Not sure if something is wrong in 5.21.6, sent a few images today that didn't completely render on my outgoing side (few lines of pixels, rest is gray), but look fine to the recipient and if I tap the image. Some hours later, issue is resolved on its own. Pixel 5

  • aliromah alison harvey (@aliromah) reported

    If you have to communicate with persons in Afghanistan, @signalapp is currently probably the most widely used secure messaging service. If you don't have to, bear in mind your communication could put people at risk.

  • BoshevskiFilip Filip Boshevski (@BoshevskiFilip) reported

    Having problems with linking new device, 1 hour and still 30 messages loaded. @signalapp 5.14.0

  • Omniscient_Sage idiotic_Savant (@Omniscient_Sage) reported

    @MeinNamenichdu @signalapp First of all it's a non profit company , they are providing us service for free, what are you expecting??? Are you paying for it? Then stop with your high horse attitude. And its not like they are not trying to fix it. Especially after @elonmusk 's tweet signal is overloaded.

  • HeartsPeaceHeal Pip Miller (@HeartsPeaceHeal) reported

    @AzoraMoon @signalapp This. I could use it for client texting, etc if that wasn't a requirement. They don't know me, and I don't know them, so no one wants to give out their real number. Please fix this, @signalapp!!!

  • wrl william light (@wrl) reported

    trying to transfer my @signalapp account to a new phone using the "transfer" functionality and it's just... not working. "unexpected error occurred". it's such an important app but the UI/UX just constantly tries my ******* patience.

  • llorenzin Lisa Lorenzin (@llorenzin) reported

    @xabean @signalapp I hate to ask, but - have you opened a ticket with @Signalapp? I had a problem a couple years ago after one of their upgrades, and they not only figured out the issue, they gave me a custom build to fix it so I didn't have to wait for the fix to come in the next GA release!

  • MeinNamenichdu Meinname (@MeinNamenichdu) reported

    @Jmw986 @signalapp The problem is, it was hard to convince people. And suddenly the app doesn't work anymore because of the lack of updates. Many people don't want to use it any more. Then they prefer to write via whatsapp. For some, that's too much effort for too few chat partners.

  • jackvelour Jack Velour (@jackvelour) reported

    @71k5co @TimSweeneyEpic @signalapp is a great solution to the problem of Apple scanning messages.

  • Benl324 Benjamin Leff (@Benl324) reported

    Whatever happened to my personal image and online social media references were attacks on my account. If you cannot contact me on @signalapp I am not safe and need help.

  • albulushi_12 البلوشي (@albulushi_12) reported

    @signalapp You should pay attention to fixing the problems of the program, not the stickers

  • bellja747 ¢krypt∅ (@bellja747) reported

    @Fervent403332 @signalapp If the issue is as serious as you say you should document the problem on their GitHub, or official forums. Spamming them on Twitter is not going to get you the kind of attention you're looking for.

  • StromschlagYT Stromschlag (@StromschlagYT) reported

    Hey @signalapp please fix listening to voice memos on iPhone! When listening to a voice memo holding the phone to my ear it stops playing the sound after every voice memo.. UI shows it plays the memo, but no sound. Need to exit conversation or exit app and start again. Huge PITA.

  • H3R3TIK4L H3R3TIK4L (@H3R3TIK4L) reported

    @mcflyhh @signalapp Not to be that guy, never had a problem with signal on Linux. First sync is a bit slow maybe

  • bellja747 ¢krypt∅ (@bellja747) reported

    @MuirMic @signalapp Dude that sounds like a problem with your phone

  • Mrhow7x Sundeep (@Mrhow7x) reported

  • mcflyhh mc.fly (@mcflyhh) reported

    @_darrenmartyn @signalapp I am running it since one day in strace and well, what can i say, it runs without any lag. But i see a lot of error messages...

  • mcflyhh mc.fly (@mcflyhh) reported

    I am trying to use @signalapp on the desktop with linux. It is insanely slow. Am i the only one with that problem?

  • magic_of_thanos Thanos (@magic_of_thanos) reported

    @signalapp The problem here is, to download the stickers one has to use the signal desktop

  • NullPriestess La Wren 🏳️‍⚧️ (@NullPriestess) reported

    Anyone else on the @signalapp beta channel on android having problems? Currently crashing on startup on my pixel 5. :/

  • luciofm Lucio Maciel 🏳️‍🌈 (@luciofm) reported

    @NullPriestess @signalapp 5.22.3 should fix the issue... Let us know if it doesn't solve it...

  • mikewiow MikeW (@mikewiow) reported

    @signalapp More delay issues? Pal sent me a reply at 8pm last night.....finally delivered to my phone (plugged, charged & online all the time) almost 12 hours later. You're starting to make WhatsApp look good 🙄

  • MuirMic SivilianOnBace (@MuirMic) reported

    @signalapp I've had a bug for the last year where if I send any image from my phone to anyone not using signal through SMS it corrupts the image please fix this before getting sticker packs come on
