  • hon_sage_rwanda Hon. Sage Rwanda🇲🇦 (@hon_sage_rwanda) reported

    @signalapp what happened?? The app been down for 48hrs now, it's not responding.

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    It may be acceptable for a mass market messaging app like @telegram to have phone numbers as a default login however for if an app like @signalapp DEMANDS everyone to enter their phone number then it should be thrown into trash for it.

  • Autistic1n Auti  (@Autistic1n) reported

    @signalapp Fix the notifications

  • erickuhn19 Eric Kuhn (@erickuhn19) reported

    Is @signalapp becoming unusable for anyone else? I keep getting asked to verify captchas. I’m using a VPN which I assume is the problem.

  • GSMKENYALTD 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐲 (@GSMKENYALTD) reported

    Greetings, .@signalapp! How do we remediate around the signal app restarting when sending to share a story? The error mimics connectivity even when heavier apps can post similar or heavier loads. "check your connection and try again later" Thank you.

  • Tolkienista Maddog (@Tolkienista) reported

    @signalapp been unable to message for 48 hours ever since transferring my account according to the exact instructions you provide. Last message to customer support to answer their questions about the problem was 8 hours ago with no response. Need this resolved.

  • dayumswanky Aritro Roy (@dayumswanky) reported

    @signalapp In a sorru state of affairs, if you actually stopped begging and let users donate by themselves, you can really get a huge amount to cover costs. I'm trying to donate via app since a few days and every single time I get an error that payment couldn't be completed. Fix it.

  • BarrySwift4 Barry Swift (@BarrySwift4) reported

    @WayneDupreeShow @signalapp Help bring attention to the Brunson case and support the Supreme Court to make the right decision.

  • ElaboIain 🌱🌴🇲🇨Iain🌏Elabo 🇮🇩🌴🌱 (@ElaboIain) reported

    So let me ask again. Network issues? Groups aren't working properly @signalapp

  • UghZombies Ugh Zombies (@UghZombies) reported

    @signalapp I tried to donate a custom amount through Signal on Android, and it says that my payment couldn't be processed. Is there currently an issue with donations?

  • anshu_sengupta Anshuman Sengupta (@anshu_sengupta) reported

    @signalapp Great going, now please provide the basic service, like video call without lag and voice call without being choppy.

  • genix194319 Genix194319 (@genix194319) reported

    @thebestech @signalapp I gotta ask, whats wrong with the desktop app? Been using it forever and have had no issues.

  • aydeelatty Aydee (@aydeelatty) reported

    @Bitwarden @ProtonMail @signalapp #Protonmail is a free secure email service. Users have their emails encrypted, so no one else can read or listen to them while they are in transit. It uses end-to-end #encryption, meaning no one, not even Protonmail, can see the contents of a message that has been encrypted.

  • thebestech Tim Steele (@thebestech) reported

    @signalapp Desktop app is so horrible mobile app not getting much new stuff would donate if you had roadmaps to fix things like the desktop app, and you where more transparent about how you are spending the tens of millions

  • MicahZoltu Micah Zoltu (@MicahZoltu) reported

    @M0__o__ @signalapp Signal isn't the most feature rich IM client, but it is *by far* the most privacy preserving. Its only real problem on the privacy front is requiring phone number for account creation. They go to great lengths to use it privately, but it always has made me uncomfortable.

  • QueerWebs 🔞 Ramona: Spider-Trans! (@QueerWebs) reported

    @QuartsClock @signalapp Wait whaat? I chat with a couple of friends on there, I thought that **** was locked down

  • nuwtox nuwtox.eth (@nuwtox) reported

    Why not Login-with-Ethereum though? @SpruceID @telegram @signalapp

  • _ErenlerYolu_ Erenler Yolu (@_ErenlerYolu_) reported

    @signalapp Dear signal managers To Apple and Android tablets We want to set up signal as we set up on phones. We want to work on this issue as signal users.

  • adarshwtf Adarsh (@adarshwtf) reported

    @signalapp Maybe fix your donation system? Can't donate at all through the Android app.

  • diana180 Diana (@diana180) reported

    @signalapp I've locked myself out of my Signal profile/past while moving between Android phones. My PIN has been rejected on both phones. Is there any way I can get support please? Online help instructions for this rely on commands that aren't on my UI. Thanks!

  • EntropySloth201 @EntropySloth2000 (@EntropySloth201) reported

    @ifudontlike2bad @darafaye @signalapp The guy who created and runs Signal turned down about a million dollars worth in stock options when he left Twitter. The WhatsApp guy has given the Signal people a generous amount of money. They have their flaws, but they're not really in it for the money. Just my 2¢ as a nerd.

  • teran_yanis yanis teran (@teran_yanis) reported

    @tomdoonbeg @telegram @signalapp do you have any other option than the form in your website to communicate with support of telegram?? my account of telegram was deleted!! and not by me for sure! i don't even know what happened but my account just got deleted! I summited the form but still no answer! i need help!

  • TheOtherWizard1 NSFW 18+ (@TheOtherWizard1) reported

    @signalapp hey I just got a new phone and I tried to register using the same number. For some reason it tells me I had too many attempts. I waited for over an hour but still say the same. Help.

  • erika_sycamore ☭ ErikaSycamore ☭ (@erika_sycamore) reported

    @marknoble @roguelogin @signalapp No one pretends SMS is secure. Having built in SMS to signal gave people a one stop app to communicate with everyone. People will not use two different apps, and keep track of which to use. Making a move to decrease user base is not smart especially for a non federated service.

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    When @SignalApp's phone login provider got hacked @moxie lied to people saying "this is not a problem caused by actions" this is 100% lie because it was @moxie who decided dangerous phone number login in the first place.

  • Autistic1n Auti  (@Autistic1n) reported

    @signalapp Fix the notifications please

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    This phone number requirement as well as DELIBERATELY low popularity of @SignalApp are not all of the problems of this app.

  • ProperPostulate The Proper Postulates (@ProperPostulate) reported

    @signalapp I don't want to donate to an app that is trying to replicate social media with things like stories. I want to support secure messaging, and removing sms is a step in the wrong direction for improving adoption. If you made your roadmap public, it would help to justify a donation
