  • sahas1301 Sneha Saha (@sahas1301) reported from Noida, Uttar Pradesh

    @signalapp Hi, I’m looking for an interaction opportunity with Signal around the platform’s growth in India. Can some help me with an email ID or something? This is for BGR India, one of India’s biggest tech websites.

  • rxjain1 Soc Media is time waste (@rxjain1) reported

    @signalapp Call from the desktop apps tthrows and error: Unhandled Error URIError: URI malformed at decodeURIComponent (<anonymous>) at _urlToPath ([REDACTED]\app.asar\app\protocol_filter.js:19:19) at Function.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]\app.asar\app\protocol_filter.js:30:35)

    @signalapp Can you please fix the group settings? Multiple ppl can make groups with the same group name.

  • megalomaniac404 A Drug Against War™️ (@megalomaniac404) reported

    @glennelliott @rucci_harucci @signalapp Its a 100% open-source project that's strict NO logs & anyone can fork app if needed. All data's stored encrypted locally on your device (if you choose to save messages). If you lose backup code they can't help you recover or decrypt bc they physically don't have the data or key.

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @signalapp this is still an issue. The app crashes within seconds of opening each and every time. I have tried everything and sent details of what I’ve tried, sent email logs from the option within app. This behaviour makes the app totally unusable and unfit for purpose.

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp I get no response from @signalapp support. The app is unusable. “Wait for next update” when I don’t even know if they’re doing anything is poor customer service. It’s just rubbish really.

  • BekkaWeirdo Beka Chachua (@BekkaWeirdo) reported

    @NikitBhandari @signalapp Why is it problem? What's idea of complaint

  • v0lk3n Volken (@v0lk3n) reported

    @kcpresh36 @signalapp I will copy past beacause im tired Signal if for people who care about privacy, so stop asking for add that ******* features! If you want to share you poor life to everyone this is your problem, dont ruin signal and come back on facebook instagram and all those shitty app

  • assid Satish (@assid) reported

    @signalapp just wondering if there is support for an API for writing bots. I'd like to add a reporting service to send me notifications.

  • shashikantips54 Shashi Kant IPS (@shashikantips54) reported

    So, @finkd , I understand that you got a real heart break for your @WhatsApp from India. Issue being your so-called amendment to your new privacy policies. Users migrating in hordes to @signalapp ...

  • karanaku Karan Patel (@karanaku) reported

    @signalapp Why i have to open and check the msgs all the time ? I am not getting notifications on my home screen or lock screen Guys can you please solve the issue on IOS devices.

  • DraganTventi TWENTY-D (@DraganTventi) reported

    @signalapp why i have problem with incoming video call doesn’t ring only vibrations???

  • platinummind D E L O W U S U aka Pianoman (@platinummind) reported

    To the powers that be that run @signalapp - please note what happens ahead of time. People will start rumours that you will start charging for your service in about six months time and that they have to forward the message ten times - nip that in the bud from now.

  • Khurafativipin Vipin (@Khurafativipin) reported

    @brenbsl @signalapp okay.update it.i think it will resolve your problem.

  • Khurafativipin Vipin (@Khurafativipin) reported

    @RYUJiN921 @_NyphoX @signalapp On wifi this shouldn't be an issue.

  • Khurafativipin Vipin (@Khurafativipin) reported

    @brenbsl @signalapp But in android or ios no one else is getting your problem atleast in twitter feed.

  • Durn_librul Durn Librul (@Durn_librul) reported

    @mullvadnet @signalapp Ever hear of your PC app causing issues with AMD Radeon software? I'm still troubleshooting but it seems since I I stalled your client I'm not able to launch the AMD app for overclocking my video card.

  • lucky225 Lucky225🍀 2️⃣ 2️⃣ 5️⃣🍥 (@lucky225) reported

    UPDATE: After @signalapp's "outage" last week the @MojaveFoneBooth IRC has experienced issues with some users, many are coming into us as UUID that were previously e164 phone #s (Signal beta pushed an update right after the outage). We're now working on support for UUIDs

  • OliDierickx Olivier Dierickx (@OliDierickx) reported

    @telegram & @signalapp , now that @WhatsApp is in messy trouble & gets massive leak out of users, where most of them are now using your services, remember to use THIS TIME to ensure OUR safety with OUR data. I can pay for it, if needed. But remember to NOT reproduce same mistake!

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp Nope, as I guessed, updating the version and restarting the phone doesn’t help. Now on the latest version and still app crashes seconds after opening.

  • marckranat marc kranat (@marckranat) reported

    @danielcid @signalapp Most of the new users Signal are seeing now are privacy aware ex-Whatsapp refugees, so yes I expect demands it is taken down or forced to add a backdoor, and yes, they will use a Parler type argument to achieve it.

  • ChiefBoffin Chief Boffin (@ChiefBoffin) reported

    @signalapp is the service down again? Outgoing texts and signal messages not sending. Just see a spinning circle

  • perezbox Tony Perez (@perezbox) reported

    I would argue that the risk should be low for @signalapp but who the hell knows. If every organization is "validating" the information before shutting people down, then how would they violate private engagement that promises E2E on all engagements?

  • zheano Zheano (@zheano) reported

    @signalapp I’ve been using your video calling feature. The UI looks fine, but Im experiencing stutters, video and voice glitches and other issues. I have an ok upload and download speed. It seems like video quality is set too high so connection is unstable. What can I do?

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp I’m personally concerned about how it’s affecting me. Others may get the same issue & just give up on the app, w/o reporting; I know I’m starting to think I might do that myself. I’d also like a support team that engages with a customer with issue & provides advice & solutions.

    @Migilshire @signalapp But this is very sad... Have you already written a PM to the @signalapp account? They can definitely help you.

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

    @RaleNorthGate @signalapp What kind of email service? Newsletter, registration, support or what?
