  • charlesrandall Charles Randall (@charlesrandall) reported

    @okdistribute @signalapp I doubt that would help.

  • RastegarRamin Ramin Rastegar (@RastegarRamin) reported

    @signalapp Sending voice notes to iPhone from Android 12 plays at double the speed in iPhone devices. Please fix.

  • borland Orion Edwards (@borland) reported

    @oddynz @moxie @signalapp Sorry dude, not trying to rain on your parade, more just my own feeling down about the state of things 😔

  • gloverstweets Ashley Glover (@gloverstweets) reported

    there’s a fair amount of work in this, as everything on Open Data Directive, ironically, needs to be FOI’d and potentially it impacts every public body currently selling/withholding/redacting public data will setup a @signalapp group for anyone who wants to help, let me know

  • robotfactory Magical Enby Space Princess 🚝 (@robotfactory) reported

    @IanColdwater @signalapp If anyone has this problem on Android, it is usually the "smart notifications" feature which tries to guess what notifications you actually want and drops the rest. Turn it off, it sucks.

  • Carighan Carighan Maconar (@Carighan) reported

    @alexstamos @CaseyNewton @signalapp Honestly I'm somewhat hoping it'll blow up, but only insofar that I really really really dislike yet another otherwise great piece of technology dragging itself down with crypto currency bullshit. If they fail because of this, it might be a good signal (pun intended) to others.

  • sunilsrana1908 Sunil Singh Rana (@sunilsrana1908) reported

    @kpswathi @moneycontrolcom @signalapp I use it for communicating with my closed ones as whatsapp spamming is an issue..

  • wartonhertz Warton Hertz (@wartonhertz) reported

    @signalapp Guys, i am having problems with video call on Signal for Android. Voice is delaying over the video.

  • TheJoeMobley Joe Mobley (@TheJoeMobley) reported

    @FrankiesaysR @signalapp @WhatsApp The bureau has bent and straight up broken laws regarding search $ seizure, privacy, and who knows what else. Former LE with a masters in intelligence, I’m very familiar with lawful search. I called the FISA fraud with the Steele dossier in grad school. Eyes wide open my man.

  • mbootsman Marcel (@mbootsman) reported

    Problem 1. /e/OS uses it's own app repo, and it has an older version of @signalapp. Which cannot import my backup (made with a newer version). So I can't import my chats and media from Signal. This is a problem that stops me from using it. I'll share some screenshots though.

  • KidThorazine Ken Tobe (@KidThorazine) reported

    @cuan_knaggs @IanColdwater @signalapp I did that and it didn't really fix the problem, it actually made it worse by randomly adding severe lag to normal, unencrypted messages.

  • Ingulf Alex (@Ingulf) reported

    @N_Waters89 @signalapp bit of a privacy issue there

  • t_will3612 Taylor Williams (@t_will3612) reported

    @signalapp fix your delivery notifications!!! It’s driving me crazy 🙄

  • Vargaswilliamra adoption life center (@Vargaswilliamra) reported

    @CoinDesk @signalapp @AxieInfinity Adoption Center requests funds to save 85 dogs, 141 cats so that they do not lose their home and food. Any help is welcome at our center. Binance TRC20 tanks TPH2rarn4gbNqJB9oo1vebNxH1Wd2VEqNe

  • nuintari Psychotic Network Ferret (@nuintari) reported

    I use @signalapp pretty much every day of my life. I _really_ wish Signal wasn't going further and further down the cryptocurrency insanity hole. We might need an alternative to Signal that is content to remain just messaging, and never bolt on imaginary internet money BS.

  • accessnow Access Now (@accessnow) reported

    Kazakhstan authorities have reportedly shut down access to key messaging services — @Telegram, @WhatsApp, and @signalapp — since Sunday amid protests. In some cities, including the capital, mobile internet is down and intermittent. We call on authorities to #KeepItOn.

  • hortstu Horton H.A. Whoo (@hortstu) reported

    @Jmw986 @moxie @signalapp I don't have a problem with that. My problem is not knowing when they've uninstalled or gotten a new phone... I send a secure message and they're not getting them.

  • 0x6772 gr (@0x6772) reported

    @VXO There's a very real problem here: using PKI directly and safely requires a cliff of a learning curve, and if you can't scale that cliff, you can't use it safely. But also @signalapp exists, and is… fine. (Acknowledging their C-level's ignorance of how the product would be …

  • jmpebx nop✨☄ (@jmpebx) reported

    @IanColdwater @afzhou @signalapp Background app refresh turned on? If so then could be something needs to be added to the app service.

  • HippyWizard Silverwizard (@HippyWizard) reported

    @nuintari @signalapp Ah, sure, ok, if your main problem is sms then that's different Partly my problem is I am Canadian where everyone refuses to use SMS

  • stephondoestech Stephon Parker 👨🏾‍💻 (He/Him) ⚡️ (@stephondoestech) reported

    @IanColdwater @signalapp I had this issue. I can’t remember if I used the option under notifications in app to re-register or if it was from me turning notifications off and rebooting th phone.

  • A_Sh331 A (@A_Sh331) reported

    @signalapp Hi I have problem with files, i cant open file when someone send me in signal

  • oddynz Beau Butler (@oddynz) reported

    @dznz @moxie @signalapp 1/2 And supply chain is all about drawing the line eg: <jo> Does putty still have the same supply chain problems? <finch> like every other windows software? <finch> and every other software outside of windows too <oddy> the same 'supply chain problem' as every other exe ever?

  • IanColdwater Ian Coldwater 📦💥 (@IanColdwater) reported

    Anyone know how to fix the @signalapp issue where texts don't go through unless you open the app and then they all show up at a once? It's really annoying

  • QuintessenceAnx Quintessence {🥑/} (@QuintessenceAnx) reported

    @IanColdwater @signalapp No idea how to fix it, but I've noticed that it seems to happen whenever they push updates that are intended to improve battery life.

  • bigdave914 Big Dave (@bigdave914) reported

    @signalapp Can I get some registration help? New phone need to reset my number I keep getting an error.

  • dhanraj_ashwin DHANARAJ ASHWIN (@dhanraj_ashwin) reported

    @IanColdwater @signalapp Uh I was having the same problem with WhatsApp yesterday. Wonder if Apple push service had some glitch.

  • nivrameth Nivram (@nivrameth) reported

    @Twiblr @lockheimer @signalapp It's not as simple as building an app. Google already did this with Hangouts and fellback to SMS like you pointed it out. It wasn't the solution to this room to this problem.
