@signalapp hi! It is really impossible to use the application lately, it is very slow, it hangs and closes by itself or it does not respond, is it a general problem?

@signalapp is good for texting but it's totally unreliable for video/audio calls. Even a stable internet connection cannot provide proper video quality(not even 144p, everything's blurred out!) or whatsoever. Audio latency is nearly 1 sec. Would you ever care to fix it?

Why is the crop on @signalapp so annoying? I drag to the shape I want it to be, and it keeps springing back. Takes about 5 attempts at different crops before it actually sticks. WTAF? Terrible UX. Fix it, please, Signal peeps!

@signalapp I was using Signal but the restore function's failed so I'm unable to retrieve my account. I've lost all my chat! I transferred the back up to my new phone but the .bin file extension is causing problems. I can't access the backup & Signal is no longer available on my old phone!

@signalapp for weeks messages are arriving late now. Time stamps are accurate, but notifications don't pop up right away or messages don't appear even when checking the chat. Any issues on your end?

@signalapp For weeks now your app has been nudging me to enter my pin to help me not to forget. I don't want to, it's like a needy child asking for attention. It seems to want this every week. Is there a way to invoke "adult mode" please?

@signalapp hey why is it when I open the app on a device that hasn’t used signal in two weeks, it won’t function until it’s shown me every message since then, even though the messages are set to disappear after 24 hours? Seems like a major security/ privacy issue

@signalapp That’s super cool and all, but iOS users still lose all their messages if they lose their phone, which means I can’t recommend Signal to any iOS user. Maybe fix that somehow (like allowing iVloud backup of messages after a big disclaimer)?

@signalapp Push notifications are having problems. Messages are only marked as "sent" and not "delivered" until the recipient opens the Signal app on their phone. Happening with multiple contacts

@alpineiscalm @signalapp No family and friends use whatsapp and i like it. I honestly dont care if they store data or not, it's not an issue for me, maybe for you but not for me. Also twitter is a free platform

@niketratta @session_app @signalapp I think people trade privacy and data protection for ease of use and popularity very happily , would only come with mass adoption. Chicken and egg problem isn’t it , guess that’s where good marketing + advertising comes to play.

@RashaB92 As the saying goes, when service is free, you are the product. There are other parallel socially responsible service like @signalapp which doesn't store data on cloud, but on device.
