Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • agisilaosts Agis Tsaraboulidis (@agisilaosts) reported

    The issue with notifications not being sent without opening @signalapp was driving me insane. You needed to open the app for the notification to appear. I’m glad such issue has been fixed.

  • MichaelRostom Michael Rostom (@MichaelRostom) reported

    @StanvHouten @signalapp No, the error message clearly says: "The owner of this website has blocked your IP" it is probably not Signal, it is the merch company that they are working with And yes I do live in Syria

  • Agisilaos_K Agisilaos Koulouris✊🏾🌍 (@Agisilaos_K) reported

    @di0v0n @signalapp Also the pin feature doesn't help if someone's phone gets hacked

  • Hosseini_ST Hosseini 🇮🇷 (@Hosseini_ST) reported

    @mmrabbani @signalapp Unfortunately I have still the problem. I can't get the code in Iran and @signalapp don't give any answer to us!

  • CosmoMeadow María says: Hold your breath (@CosmoMeadow) reported

    Is @signalapp down?

  • GoblinInAJacket Goblin Inajacket (@GoblinInAJacket) reported

    @muchnerve @signalapp you do get broken mms messages sometimes and then it keeps resending them to you every 12 hours for a week, still broken every time.

  • realtimdesuyo Secundus Fabulous Maximus Vaxxicosus (@realtimdesuyo) reported

    @matthewbketchum @signalapp Not saying you're wrong. Just looking for a heads up on a problem I have yet to encounter. Your experience might save me 10 min :D

  • DanielM50659243 Daniel M (@DanielM50659243) reported

    @signalapp Restoring a backup is extremely buggy. Sometimes it'll count up messages found after I enter my passphrase, then crashes. Sometimes it'll not even allow me to enter my passphrase after I select my backup file, and skip to entering my phone number. Help would be great!

  • GehaniNeil Product Advisor to #Startups (@GehaniNeil) reported

    .@WhatsApp - do you have security and #privacy problems going on? I am getting added to random groups with people I have no connection to. More people of my chats live on @signalapp now.

  • thecongjen # 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝙹𝚎𝚗 黄琮政 (@thecongjen) reported

    @signalapp down? cannot send/receive message #signaldown

  • WhotThaFawk 🇳🇬🇺🇸 (@WhotThaFawk) reported

    @signalapp Not complaining about the price or shipping fee. The logo is just no where to be found. Fix this and I'm sure more users will buy.

  • 20Sonu21 Sonu (@20Sonu21) reported

    @signalapp Hi there, After the latest Android update. Battery is draining crazy. Kindly fix this issue.

  • sphinx568 Reese (@sphinx568) reported

    @Goss_Gowtham @signalapp @telegram That sounds intriguing. The problem is the fact that people I want to communicate with do not use it, thus negating its usefulness in this instance.

  • realtimdesuyo Secundus Fabulous Maximus Vaxxicosus (@realtimdesuyo) reported

    @matthewbketchum @signalapp Why did it take that long? I've never had that problem.

  • kzBh5 kzBh (@kzBh5) reported

    @Agisilaos_K @di0v0n @signalapp Wait what? What do you mean it doesn't help? If someone phone gets hacked they only have access to the phone and not the pin inside the app no or the locked app? Therefore if you have different pin/password it should block anyone from accessing it?

  • paulvixie Paul Vixie (@paulvixie) reported

    @ChrisGrundemann @signalapp any app which duplicates a service you could reach from your web browser should be suspect. such apps can bypass privacy and security controls in your web browser. case by case, ask "why does this app help its maker since they also have a usable web site?"

  • inxs_ar InXCes (@inxs_ar) reported

    Thank you @signalapp for working on the problem with the Argentina numbers (+54 and +549), it happens since I use your app. Yesterday more than 40 users were added to my contact list, and it is no coincidence that they all entered together.

  • thecongjen # 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝙹𝚎𝚗 黄琮政 (@thecongjen) reported

    @hazda___ @signalapp I switched off wifi immediately work with my mobile data. Thanks. Thought @signalapp went down.

  • SocialSkywalker Luke M (@SocialSkywalker) reported

    @Casey Solve two problems. Protect your privacy at the same time. Convince them all to use @signalapp

  • JeanineDijkhuis Jeanine Dijkhuis (@JeanineDijkhuis) reported from Broekhuizen, Provincie Utrecht

    Hi @signalapp, I'm experiencing some problems since the last update. Especially the lack of notifications is annoying. Sounds familiar to you or other tweeps?

  • frodobutbi littlelizardman (bi) (@frodobutbi) reported

    @signalapp I keep trying to confirm my number and getting an error that says “(402) payment required” - what’s up with that?

  • thecongjen # 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝙹𝚎𝚗 黄琮政 (@thecongjen) reported

    @hazda___ @signalapp Same here using TIME. Possible TIME issue

  • DustVoice DustVoice (@DustVoice) reported

    @signalapp My app isn't working since a few hours ago. Im seeing fragments of the UI, e.g. search icon, but then the app crashes with a black screen and closes itself. Restart & cache deletion didn't yield any results and I'm yet hesitant to reinstall. Is this a known issue atm?

  • RavT3 Rav Takhar (@RavT3) reported

    @signalapp are you guys ever going to take a look at the bug with conversations not pulling down automatically? Has been reported on GitHub, community forum, reddit and support team has been emailed along with logs. Has been open for over a year!

  • ghnunes Gabriel H. Nunes (@ghnunes) reported

    @signalapp, one of my contacts is causing a series of "Delivery issues" for me and other of his contacts, in both personal and group chats. As a result, all messages are taking a long time to be sent or received from both Signal Android and Desktop.

  • fsconstant Fine Structure Constant (@fsconstant) reported

    @malky30 October 26, Poland, Warsaw - Messenger is down again. I was waiting for a call from my beloved Woman. Unfortunately, email instead. We decided to switch to @signalapp

  • RyanWaheed Ryan Waheed (@RyanWaheed) reported

    @signalapp The new update is creating an annoying glitch. When I exit a chat to my main signal menu, then back to the chat, it goes further back in the history of the chat. And when I click my keyboard to enter a message it covers what I recently viewed, I have to keep scrolling.

  • Mrhow7x Sundeep (@Mrhow7x) reported

    @signalapp When video calling using phone horizontal turn video upsidedown. Please fix this bug.

  • abdulahi_abdi2 Abdulahi (@abdulahi_abdi2) reported from Nairobi, Nairobi

    Anyone else having trouble making calls via @signalapp ??

  • JessicaLRohlik Jess Rohlik (@JessicaLRohlik) reported

    📱Question… I used to use the @signalapp to video chat with my niece, but I hated it and deleted the app. Problem is, now when I text her, she’ll get my normal texts, but I don’t get any of her replies. Anyone know how to resolve this?? I’d really like to text w/that kid
