    @signalapp Video call sucks ...fix it asap. I'm very disappointed by this.

  • GS_Manolol Manolol (@GS_Manolol) reported

    @signalapp The big problem is, that all my friends use WhatsApp and nearly no one Signal... But I hope, that they also switch to Signal. Sadly I have to stick at WhatsApp at the moment. (sorry for my bad english)

  • yudikali The Darkness (@yudikali) reported

    @sunil_nep @signalapp I am having the same issue

    @signalapp fix audio call desktop app version1.39.6 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)

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @RealGlenMerlin @signalapp People do like to create them for their peers, so if it's something that can be shared over E2EE, then it's doing what they want it to do, and doesn't require handing data to the service provider. The only real question is, is it really necessary for fun experience.

  • OnTheFenceDev On The Fence Dev (@OnTheFenceDev) reported

    Looking likely that I'll be walking away from #WhatsApp - inevitable really, free service needs to be paid for somehow. While I am confident of the tech/ethos surrounding @signalapp I do wonder how they are making money to continue operating. Will they need to change models too?

  • PPankhawala Pranav Pankhawala (@PPankhawala) reported

    Is it just me or is @signalapp slow in India? I hope @signalapp resolves the issues caused by huge shift of users from WhatsApp to Signal

  • optimaltweeting OPtimal (@optimaltweeting) reported

    @SharabSalam @ThatHappyDudee @signalapp Nope. They can easily get bought out, have no encryption by default and if you enable it, its still homemade and terrible. USE SIGNAL

  • sunil_nep Sunil Nepal (@sunil_nep) reported

    @tridevgurung @yudikali @signalapp Yes. It worked just fine on my Ncell but my wife, who uses ntc, is having trouble getting the activation code.

  • junaid18183 Good4Nothing (@junaid18183) reported

    @noelgeorgi @signalapp Whats the problem ?

  • kuoirad Dario Landazuri (@kuoirad) reported

    @signalapp I understand "Signal can't fix an Android OS problem." But why is Signal (seemingly mainly via Moxie) being so obstinate against trying to educate its vulnerable users against a possible threat vector? 3/3

  • bmwhocking Ben Hocking (@bmwhocking) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @jenvgeorge @signalapp On android I think, you can fix notifications from the app, newer versions of android will need a trip to Android settings. Make sure you have notifications enabled for signal. Without notifications enables you will only get new messages when you physically open the app.

  • noelgeorgi Noel Georgi (@noelgeorgi) reported

    @signalapp please address the android IME problem

  • 3rQFW5lh2YOBg9i mayank sharma (@3rQFW5lh2YOBg9i) reported

    @signalapp You need to seriously increased the server capacity, too many performance issues. Nevertheless, privacy first

  • GlibGoat Glib Goat (@GlibGoat) reported

    @Syenta1 @signalapp @WhatsApp I’ve never had an issue ringing the other person. If both have had issues it’s probably your network. Are you behind CGNAT? If so, try switching signal to relay mode

  • mownten Sepehr (@mownten) reported

    @TheHackersNews So, why it is being notified now? What if @signalapp contain a 0day flaw which its fix will be notified in 2023?

  • GS_Manolol Manolol (@GS_Manolol) reported

    @josephdanielw @signalapp I have the same problem.

  • mrteefers Mr Teefers (@mrteefers) reported

    @signalapp You have ability to assign music files/ringtones to calls, but not text messages? We use Whatsapp for 24x7 on-call and need to know when a text comes in. The array of "blip" noises doesn't cut it. Being down last Friday/Saturday undermines your credibility..

  • dawid_m89 Dawid (@dawid_m89) reported

    @signalapp Hey @signalapp, I have a problem with importing my SMS messages. On my other phone I don't see prompt to do it. I uninstalled and installed the app again but with no luck. Any tips?

  • syedwaheedz Syed Waheed (@syedwaheedz) reported

    @signalapp Fix Group Video-calling

  • RBR233 RBR23 (@RBR233) reported

    @signalapp I can see people mobile number in chat screen. What happens if someone takes screenshot and create unnecessary trouble. 0% privacy.

  • JJha02726051 J Jha (@JJha02726051) reported

    @signalapp There is an echo issue on calls to mi a1. Add it to echo blacklist. @moxie

  • parseltongue69 Hiran Radhakrishnan (@parseltongue69) reported

    @signalapp I am trying to donate via PayPal, it gives me the error Failed to prepare payment. Something wrong from your end?

  • jenvgeorge JEN (@jenvgeorge) reported

    @bmwhocking @signalapp Thanks for the reply. But it just happening again, server problem?! Now also when i sent a message it's not delivering even though the other person have net connection and vice versa. And my profile picture in signal app is not visible to anyone in my contacts

  • nmsalgueiro Nuno M. Salgueiro (@nmsalgueiro) reported from Ballerup Kommune, Region Hovedstaden

    @kuoirad @SrishtiJo @signalapp Alice has a button in Signal to block Bob indefinitely. The point is that you’re presenting a *very* marginal case that supposedly Signal has to accommodate for (while already providing the tools to make it a non-issue) while negatively impacting the whole user base.

  • TrentoxV Trentox (@TrentoxV) reported

    @signalapp The biggest problem is, that some people doesn't care about their privacy and don't switch to signal. Other people do not wan't to have two messengers to be still able to write with those people and then they don't download it either.
