Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • albulushi_12 البلوشي (@albulushi_12) reported

    @PlanetJunkie @signalapp My family and friends have Signal and WhatsApp, but most use WhatsApp, but Signal has many technical problems and needs to be repaired, adding features and changing the font in the sender’s message in black, not white, and adding bright colors to attract the eye to the program.

  • __ljrk Leonard Janis Robert König (@__ljrk) reported

    Ugh, I'm all for recommending @signalapp , but too frequently I have issues like people not being able to change their own name (having an old name from a previous owner of the #), group chats going rampage and msgs sent to the wrong person!

  • __ljrk Leonard Janis Robert König (@__ljrk) reported

    @signalapp These are critical issues, leaking personal data and possibly sensitive msgs. It's unbelievable that this continues to crop up. The "just use signal" crowd really misses the point. It's buggy as hell, and to me becoming the next PGP when it comes to UX and problems.

  • claimusername Eren Jäger (@claimusername) reported

    Will @signalapp ever be able to overcome the 100 MB attachment limit? It's been THE issue that repel people, who I usually try to talk into using signal app, from using the app. Its really pointless for me to use signal if i still have to use whatsapp to stay in touch with them

  • _darsler Dars (@_darsler) reported

    @Panther_raid1 @1u4n4MH @signalapp You've said it yourself. You don't need to login without mobile on Telegram and that means that your data belongs to them. A person that really cares about privacy wouldn't talk sht like you do. You need to learn the difference of programming and cybersecurity, new guy.

  • OmarSayd06 OmarSayd (@OmarSayd06) reported

    Hey @signalapp , I don't want to use any other chat app except signal, but still you have not fixed the problem with video or audio chat, I have been complaining about this problem from a long long time by giving feedback but still it is not fixed. Please Don't force me to use WA

  • LasLab Saco Heijboer (@LasLab) reported

    @signalapp since a few days there’s a big delay in receiving and sending messages. What’s wrong here? BTW: pushed several times “reconfirm push notifications” Didn’t help. #help

  • pjozefak Paul Jozefak (@pjozefak) reported

    Question for @signalapp: are you having issues where msgs aren't getting delivered? I am having problem with multiple contacts where msg goes out but doesn't arrive on other end until app opened or smthg. Can't figure out why some people don't get final delivery (two check marks)

  • x90x90 TJ Boyle (@x90x90) reported

    @sysop_host @signalapp I get that message sometimes when the phone has first booted, figured it was something to do with not being able to access content that is set to be inaccessible until first login

  • wwabissabi bry (@wwabissabi) reported

    @signalapp terrible app!!!! Just uninstalled. Complete fail! Messages "sent" but "pending" for hours, or days!!!! Worthless app!

  • TheHayleeColon Haylee (@TheHayleeColon) reported

    @signalapp What is going on with the app?!?! So much is broken! Send and Receive notifications aren't working properly and now neither are GIFs! Stop making updates that make our experience WORSE! #dontfixwhataintbroke

  • JRayLively Johnny Ray Lively (@JRayLively) reported

    @signalapp Having some issues with my account. Gifs aren’t working/sending… Anyway to resolve? Thank you.

  • n_willius Nicolai (@n_willius) reported

    @signalapp are there any problems known in Germany right now? Iam unable to send message

  • ichbinnoahh 𝕹𝖔𝖆𝖍 (@ichbinnoahh) reported

    @signalapp Fix “Original content not found” bug please.

  • riddy4palestine روحي فلسطيني 🇵🇸 (@riddy4palestine) reported

    @signalapp need help receiving activation code for registration

  • hybr1z ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ (@hybr1z) reported

    @terribleMirrors @1u4n4MH @signalapp specially in countries with public phones and other options of receiving and SMS or a phone call. the captcha ends up being the biggest privacy problem at the moment but that usually fits ok with non-western activitists ;p also other services dont let you use public phones ;)

  • sastuvel Sybren A. Stüvel (@sastuvel) reported

    @signalapp I just had issues initiating a voice call, and so did my wife. These were three different calls to different phones (me to my mom, wife to me, me to wife) all within NL, all fail The caller heard it ringing. The receiver didn't, but did get a "Missed audio call" msg.

  • mikiiyamada ♡miki♡ (@mikiiyamada) reported

    @patrickhanft @signalapp hi Patrick, signal isn't designed for this. if u find sth important n wanna jot down, there r 2 options to go: 1. copy to the "note for self" 2. copy to the "description" under the related person's chat box name both won't disappear untill u delete it.

  • WusanSojcicki Wusan Sojcicki (@WusanSojcicki) reported

    @matthew_d_green I'm glad there are many talking about the problem. How about solutions? 1) Are linux phones safe? Pros/cons of one brand vs another? 2) Do you think communications via @signalapp will be protected?

  • Victor62819568 Victor (@Victor62819568) reported

    @telegram I’m going to quit. @signalapp is better than u. (slow reply and never help to solve the issue)

  • lungdoge Charles (@lungdoge) reported

    @ach_yt @signalapp please use @session_app instead of Signal. Problem solved.

  • DBPE5T DB (@DBPE5T) reported

    @signalapp Why is it that you guys cant fix the sending video issues. I dent many emails with debug data since months and nothing happend... its not a size issue even 12mb videos cycle for ever until i have to delete them from the chat brcause everything behind cant pass.

  • Rad_Dockery Rad Dockery 🇨🇦🌎 (@Rad_Dockery) reported

    @signalapp I keep having problems with voicenotes. They go blank. Then I have to exit and come back into it to hear them. How do we fix that? Cheers!

  • mist4w0lf3 mist4w0fl3 (@mist4w0lf3) reported

    @signalapp hi, do you have issues at the moment? All I get is the sending icon for the last 8 hours.

  • ArminderDahul Arminder Dahul (@ArminderDahul) reported

    @signalapp There are number of bugs on iOS. - Very low volume on video calls. This has been an issue for quite some time. - Notifications are also hit and miss, some come through, others just don't.

  • mikiiyamada ♡miki♡ (@mikiiyamada) reported

    @signalapp hi signal team, just wanna bring yr attn to the voice delaying issue while making phone calls via signal. saw the official suggestion to improve call quality by enabling "use less data" in settings however, this even delayed the audio 1-2 secs... hope this to be fixed soon, tks

  • TheWheelMe A Child At Blay (@TheWheelMe) reported

    .@signalapp needs to fix their user experience.

  • neil_g Neil Gerrard (@neil_g) reported

    @signalapp My signal has stopped working after sending video. Messages go to recipients but only show single tick. Not receiving any. Tried clearing cache and reinstalling. Same has now happened to my sister. Is there an issue?

  • LeCLoutGOAT LeCLoutGOAT 🍥 (@LeCLoutGOAT) reported

    @signalapp @FarshidHakimy The new iOS update made my videos play in very small ratio can you guys fix this

  • Panther_raid1 a.Dev (@Panther_raid1) reported
