Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • realJessePeden Jesse Peden (@realJessePeden) reported

    @signalapp if it's still being worked on, why was the banner taken down in the app? Wouldn't it still apply?

  • abhijitgore Abhijit Gore (@abhijitgore) reported

    .@signalapp any updates on the outage?

  • ci_a7med Valar Morghulis (@ci_a7med) reported

    @signalapp This my working field, I understand that the infrastructure won't deal with this huge numbers and it will crash. But to keep down for over 24h till now it's really disappointing

  • 90minutelife Haripal Baluja (@90minutelife) reported

    @ArseneLegacySr @signalapp Others have faced this issue too, they might be having trouble with handling the load, maybe it'll be fixed in the day

  • PunkRocker77 Pirate Ⓥ (@PunkRocker77) reported

    @signalapp Get it on AWS soon so the capacity can flex more easily. Please hurry with the fix...we don't want to give the newbies an excuse to disregard Signal so soon.

  • TheSakibPathan Sakib Pathan (@TheSakibPathan) reported

    @signalapp Are your call services (voice and video) working or they are still down? Thanks

  • MrSantiDiaz Santiago Diaz (@MrSantiDiaz) reported

    @signalapp Keep on fighting the good fight. I’ll put up with service disruptions and glitches if it means not using anything Facebook related.

  • sujeenet Sujee Maniyam (@sujeenet) reported

    @signalapp I know you guys are working very hard to fix the outage. Can I help in anyway? I know my way around linux, java, python, cloud.

  • mr_asleep_ Himanshu (@mr_asleep_) reported

    @90minutelife @AkashGooner96 @signalapp Lmao I'm pretty sure this is the case. That's one way to deal with the problem lol.

  • nirav_bhakta Nirav Bhakta (@nirav_bhakta) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp For those still having issues, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the app. That has solved a lot of connectivity and message issues in group chats that I am in.

  • rebelsforum Lionel - not Richie (@rebelsforum) reported

    @signalapp If I delete/close my individual chats, start a new chat and reset secure session its working. Group chats that were up before still down

  • Lazer Liza Shulyayeva (@Lazer) reported

    @aultered @PunkRocker77 @signalapp Or maybe fixing scaling issues with a sudden influx of users isn't as simple or instant as throwing out a few product names and keywords.

  • AsifAzamLine Wolf (@AsifAzamLine) reported

    @signalapp Signal focus more on fixing bugs and issues than adding new features.

  • julianpalmer15 COVID-19 is their vaccine to their Climate Change (@julianpalmer15) reported

    @signalapp Blocking spam accounts stopped working prior to your issues with a huge volume of new subscribers.

  • 90minutelife Haripal Baluja (@90minutelife) reported

    @AkashGooner96 @signalapp Ah yeah, they might be having trouble with load balancing it seems, it's been a day for me too, maybe it'll get fixed by the morning

  • optimaltweeting OPtimal (@optimaltweeting) reported

    @squirrelly1357 @signalapp @MarkDiStef Millions and millions of users joined within just days, what do you expect? If let's say Parler suddenly had every Twitter user on their platform, they would also be down. This is basic IT stuff.

  • AkashGooner96 Akash Ghosh (@AkashGooner96) reported

    @90minutelife @signalapp Mine is working now though. But the issue lasted for me nearly all day.

  • NaziaSpeaks Nazia R. (@NaziaSpeaks) reported

    @signalapp I've noticed the banner is gone about the technical issues but I'm still noticing with certain contacts that messages are "sent" but not "delivered". Have you looked into this? Thanks!

  • ChirpyChirpsAll Chirpy Chirp (@ChirpyChirpsAll) reported

    @signalapp is the app simply frozen or are you still working on the problem #29hoursnow #justasking

  • brutopir memesija (@brutopir) reported

    @signalapp @elonmusk pls fix.

  • CampuzanoJoe Joseph Campuzano (@CampuzanoJoe) reported

    @ShahidWorld @elonmusk @signalapp Node would be a terrible choice for this type of application.

  • JM_Coppede 「Martin #Coppedè Monges 」 (@JM_Coppede) reported from Madrid, Comunidad de Madrid

    @Lewion @signalapp To be honest, I don't care how many people were involved in the process, they didn't think so many people were coming and there was advertising of Silicon Valley celebrities and they said "come here" and there was the problem. I admire these people and I hope they do well.

  • blainsmith Beard Slayer (@blainsmith) reported

    I think the @signalapp disruption is the only free service one that hasn't upset me because I know I've paid them truly nothing. No money and no data for them to sell. Other "free" services make money on me other ways so I expect more uptime.

  • Rajid Not in the precipitate (@Rajid) reported

    @NovakDaniel @signalapp As HAL should have said, “This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to programmer error.”

  • marroneist 𝕄.𝔼.𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕠𝕟𝕖 (@marroneist) reported

    If you're still having @signalapp issues, consider giving them money instead of telling them how wronged you feel about their free app not working perfectly.

  • hectorpascacio Hector (@hectorpascacio) reported

    @Nord37837591 @signalapp After they fix the current server issues of course 🙄

  • HowardKnob Benjamin Howard, pseudonym (@HowardKnob) reported

    Hey @signalapp how do I turn off the big red warning message that your guys are having a problem and working on it? Android app

  • sm_rose Umami Tsunami (@sm_rose) reported

    @RYUJiN921 @signalapp Maybe use the issue tracker? More likely to be effective.

  • ktinasays Kristina says (@ktinasays) reported

    @signalapp is still down and I miss my friends.

  • mshirlaw Matt S (@mshirlaw) reported

    @Lazer @signalapp Still have the red notification about technical difficulties in Australia but messages are going through. I think there is still probably some issues to resolve.
