Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • tweetByClaus Claudiu (@tweetByClaus) reported

    @man_rat_ @signalapp Can you explain your problem in more detail ? cause it sounds like it might not be Signals fault, and they've also added a Proxy option to the app, So I can give you a proxy address to use and see if it solves the problem... or help you setup a proxy server yourself, if you want

  • s_lelli S. Lelli (@s_lelli) reported

    @indutny @signalapp Maybe a simple fix could be to share location only with people in a chat or a private chat, and have position managed with the same level of privacy of the chat.

  • emptyMethod Kevin CHEN 💙 | 🇨🇳🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@emptyMethod) reported

    @UnscriptedPoet @signalapp No, they are so arrogant that they refuse to fix it and even locked the developer's account.

  • EseEstevan Ξ₴ЃΣṾΛЛ (@EseEstevan) reported

    @signalapp can't even send a 4MB gif lol.. please fix

  • decode_dev Kalyan Dikshit @ 127.0.0.1 (@decode_dev) reported

    @tmhanssonit @signalapp @WhatsApp Hmm, any vpn by default on the wifi network. If not then surely there is an issue from Signal side. Can you try to open an issue on github?

  • BarnabyNo1Dog Barnaby (@BarnabyNo1Dog) reported

    @signalapp I am having problems signing up. The one off code isn’t being received and when I’ve requested a call it just goes back to the screen to put in my one off code that I don’t receive! Help please! I’m trying to set this up for my mother.

  • rijsdijk Frederique Rijsdijk (@rijsdijk) reported

    @sahirs @signalapp Problem is, it's distributed. Block one, another one pops-up.

  • MicheJarrett Michelle Jarrett 💙 (@MicheJarrett) reported

    @signalapp any help with this please? I opened the app last night and 42 messages flooded in

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @apeku_benjamin @signalapp Unfortunately, we can only help those who want help!

  • rijsdijk Frederique Rijsdijk (@rijsdijk) reported

    @signalapp I've reworked the configuration files a bit to make it run without a Docker. I run it on a dedicated IP since I already run Apache on tcp/443 but if anyone is interested and can't figure out how to do this, let me know and I'll help you.

  • dannyznet Deniz YILMAZ (@dannyznet) reported

    @signalapp message notifications issue... Unless you open the app, you cant see the notifications, most of time. 😔

  • TweetingRoland Roland (@TweetingRoland) reported

    @jumeiste @signalapp I tried building it on my chromebook; faced lots of errors.

  • DarkRedman DarkRedman (@DarkRedman) reported

    @signalapp the desktop app seems broken, when I try to send a picture from here, clicking the sending button just switch the photo message in draft mode, no way to "push" it.

  • FTPiHole FTPiHole (@FTPiHole) reported

    @sahirs @signalapp That’s why the code for anyone to start one easily and cheaply has been released. Yes they can find and block proxies. But then proxy admins can shut down the blocked ones and open new ones in like less than half an hour.

  • jsonperl Jason Pearl (@jsonperl) reported

    I interviewed with Open Garden a while back hoping Firechat was the proto-answer to this problem but they had moved on to more venture friendly pursuits. I wish a non profit would take on the challenge, @signalapp perhaps?

  • CJFWeatherhead Christopher Weatherhead (@CJFWeatherhead) reported

    (9/14) This is bad for everyone, because it makes a working proxy hard to find, a proxy that is working now, might not work tomorrow, and the side effect is loss of quality of service from the users standpoint, which makes @signalapp look bad

  • emptyMethod Kevin CHEN 💙 | 🇨🇳🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈 (@emptyMethod) reported

    @UnscriptedPoet @signalapp If they care about security, they must do like v2fly, have a PGP, but the truth is, they don't want to talk about and fix it. It's ridiculous.

  • sha_dow18 1981 (@sha_dow18) reported

    @signalapp we can’t view the profile pics on iOS. Can you Kindly fix the problem in next update ?

  • ManiRajSripadha Mani Raj Sripadha (@ManiRajSripadha) reported

    @signalapp @amitt019 I am using the beta app but still the issue remains . No sound when received video call from users. For more details I am using iPhone and calling users device is Android

  • shahkoush دوپامین را جدی بگیریم (@shahkoush) reported

    @_SekiBetu_ @signalapp This issue exists, but investigating all signal proxies is not efficient for iran govt, avoiding signal proxies leads to using other VPNs which might lead to information leak in greater extent.

  • VJohansyah vjohansyah (@VJohansyah) reported

    @signalapp no option to backup data in ios? please help tq

  • FTPiHole FTPiHole (@FTPiHole) reported

    @peteconnolly @signalapp Depends entirely on the bandwidth allowance you get from your ISP but in theory it shouldn’t cause a problem since only Signal traffic is accepted. Most Signal traffic is just messages not large files. Each message is probably just a few kilobytes.

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @saimecs @signalapp @EFF A lot of virtual keyboards have been caught recording keystrokes, it's an OS problem but can be mitigated and users expecting secure comms should be made aware of it.

  • _SekiBetu_ 惜别(SekiBetu) (@_SekiBetu_) reported

    @UnscriptedPoet @shahkoush @signalapp they closed the issue function in github just because some one provided his solution for a BUG, that's really a good start! guess what, they also blocked them in github and banned their signal forum account

  • badpandatek Felipe Serna (@badpandatek) reported

    Is @signalapp having server issues again? Takes about 1-2 minutes to send a message and another minute or two to actually deliver it...

  • ManiRajSripadha Mani Raj Sripadha (@ManiRajSripadha) reported

    @signalapp @amitt019 On the other side it’s working, I mean Android user receives ring for the video / audio call but it’s not working in apple device with your app. Hope you address this issue earliest.

  • man_rat_ YouTube.com/ManRat (@man_rat_) reported

    @tweetByClaus @signalapp Any idea when the fix will take place. Relatives in india only have cell service for internet and no wifi, calls arent going through and due to tech/age they cant send the info. Please help

  • NatoLuca Luca Nato (@NatoLuca) reported

    @signalapp don't detect muy contacts. Only 3... The others no... Why?? I need help.

  • lattera Shawn Webb (@lattera) reported

    @signalapp I have a system that's IPv6-only. Would a proxy on an IPv6-only system help?

  • angeredbean4863 Angered Bean (@angeredbean4863) reported

    @signalapp hey guys. My buddy in Sweden has been having a lot of issues trying to register. He's not receiving the text code. And after a while the app says to try again after 1 min but never resets. Pls help!
