  • Mozullique Zulhilmi 🧑🏼‍🚀 (@Mozullique) reported

    @signalapp I need help registering as it kept saying that “something is wrong” as I want to register my phone number. I have tried following the troubleshooting steps but all to no avail. I need this for work, can you help me ASAP? thank you.

  • PiusGuru Pius (@PiusGuru) reported

    @signalapp Signal is not opening in Nigeria, even the verification code is not working

    @signalapp Please fix the bugs

    @signalapp but i cant get code for verification please help and guide. thanks in advance.

  • Shinabadboy shinsssss (@Shinabadboy) reported

    @signalapp Please fix this bug your support team is not replying

  • LeviThatOneGal LeviThatOneGal 📎 (@LeviThatOneGal) reported

    @techbore @btoshi25 @signalapp I still think you should only use your phone number to verify only if it is required by the service, I wouldn't just give it out to everyone

  • Shinabadboy shinsssss (@Shinabadboy) reported

    @signalapp Fix the bugs

  • yurilima86 Yuri Lima 🍋 (@yurilima86) reported

    @signalapp It's a very good feature! Just hope you don't have to use it because it gives an error in the security key... (yes, I saved my key properly in a safe place and it doesn't work!)

  • emeryyage Emery (@emeryyage) reported

    @JimJones1913 @signalapp Because it is meant to be a WhatsApp alternative. There are tons of other privacy-focused apps if you don't want that convenience. Plus, while relying on a phone num can be a huge problem especially in authoritarian countries, Signal requires you to enter a PIN when you login++

  • iTechCrispy iTech Crispy (@iTechCrispy) reported

    @signalapp please give the option to login with multiple phones with QR code logging with the existing signal account.

  • Shinabadboy Oluwadabira Ojo (@Shinabadboy) reported

    @signalapp Have been sending message to your support team but no response please fix the bugs thank you

  • itzTyrion Tyrion (@itzTyrion) reported

    @signalapp could you adress the issue where spamming message reactions via API can give someone info about your device usage via side channel? for all I know, it's been reported a good while ago

  • joellatto Joel Latto (@joellatto) reported

    TIL when downloading photos from Signal sometimes they come as "signal-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.jpeg" and sometimes as "IMG_xyz.jpg" Even photos from the same message can come in different formats. @signalapp any help?

  • DESCARRTE AUTISTIQE (@DESCARRTE) reported

    @signalapp love the service team, but whats wrong with decenterlization & no phone number accounts, isnt signal the company that lustens to customers, whats happen in here, is there any other issue, and pls let us know if you ever gonna do that or not, we'll find other solutions

  • Bigmike252akaej MMiller252akaeltonjohn (@Bigmike252akaej) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @signalapp Do they really think this is going to help? LOL. No Juan left behind.

  • ValeroHahn Valero Hahn (@ValeroHahn) reported

    @grok @signalapp @ThreemaApp Pay for the quality and service they provide, it's reasonable. And I guess it is planning to adjust PQC soon.

  • Ledum_IX Life 🌳 (@Ledum_IX) reported

    @signalapp Is there a LIVE Signal support or something? I can’t sign up, always having the error message “something went wrong, please try again later” and this is over 2 months now.

  • sofakeye Solomon Fakeye (@sofakeye) reported

    @signalapp I've been trying to login but it's not working because no OTP is coming in. Someone should please help.

  • PoliticsAired Politics Aired (@PoliticsAired) reported

    @signalapp People complaining that they have to pay for a service. The entitlement of those who have grown up getting free stuff at the cost of their privacy.

  • PAZUZU_DEMONIC 𒀭𒅆𒊒𒍪𒍪 (@PAZUZU_DEMONIC) reported

    @signalapp How I can register in signal from Iran. I tried to register with proxy and VPN but no SMS was sent to me. Please help. Thank you

  • hermeticvm hermeticvm (@hermeticvm) reported

    @signalapp you down right now? Got disconnected over night, both clients say they can't reach the service when trying to reregister. Your status page claims all is up.

  • DinkoDIvanov Динко Иванов (@DinkoDIvanov) reported

    @signalapp hello, I can't register my phone number. Is there a global problem or it's just in Bulgaria? Every time I try, it's says that there is a problem with sending sms with verification code.

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander 🇨🇦🇺🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp Sure would be nice if your support people responded to help requests. It's been a couple months now...

  • Silent_Whale_ Silent Whale 🧬 (@Silent_Whale_) reported

    @EdgeWallet @signalapp Privacy by default matters, secure support channels build trust without sacrificing help or usability

  • snayak Snehasish Nayak (@snayak) reported

    A few wins already in 2026: - Deactivated Facebook and Instagram. - Moved family conversations to @signalapp after a lot of convincing. - Shifted most of my digital life to @ProtonPrivacy. - Migrated and deleted 45k photos from Google Photos to @ProtonDrive. - I genuinely don’t know 99% of my passwords anymore. - Cut down AI usage instead of letting it run my day. - Cleaned up my phone and removed every unused app. And this is just week one of 2026.

  • tohrxyz tohrxyz (@tohrxyz) reported

    @PuppeteerSock @signalapp Signal costs money. You also need income to pay for electricity, home and food. If there was a flaw in backups or transfers such as encryption being broken, people watching code on github would have found it months ago. every code change is public. its most likely safe

  • girlpizz simon (@girlpizz) reported

    @techbore @signalapp Name one alternative that anyone has ever heard of. The problem is not that there are better alternatives the problem is that my dad will never use Briar or some ****
