    @Snowden @signalapp There are still only problems with Facebook and it is no wonder that a lot of users are leaving Facebook!FB is to blame for this,as well as its behavior towards users and companies that block their accounts!And yes,we've been using Signal Messenger for a long time!Or Threema. ;-)

  • Mrcarmie Mr Carmie (@Mrcarmie) reported

    WhatsApp is down too… finally the motivation I needed to stop closing the annoying privacy popup and find a new home for messaging: @signalapp

  • xelexaclen9 Xelex (@xelexaclen9) reported

    I'm switching to @signalapp for a more reliable service, WhatsApp has taken a short vacation for now. #WhatsAppDown

  • YUSUPHKILEO Yusuph Kileo (@YUSUPHKILEO) reported

    @Snowden @fatma_karume @signalapp My Brother, We agreed, Everyone is the target, Shifting App because one is down makes no sense. Should we switch again when Signal is Down! We should urge organisations to strengthen their IRP & DRP instead.

  • giantshitcomin1 giantshitcomingoutofhumanity (@giantshitcomin1) reported

    @EmmaBat_ @Snowden @signalapp SMS is extremely insecure. Its the equivalent of walking down the street naked at 1am.. Not everyone will see your ***, but those who look will.

  • michelprevost Michel Prévost (@michelprevost) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp So, @Signalapp won't go down?

  • DaddyNIMI Dr. Súcre (@DaddyNIMI) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Terrible time out herenin Nigeria, where our government have banned tweeter for months & now we are experiencing FB, whatspp, IG being down for hours too! #sad

  • Torials Victoria Saxby (@Torials) reported

    Not going to lie, having @signalapp is a definite bonus at the moment as @WhatsApp is down! Worth switching! #whatsappdown #Signal

  • KevinkhoZA_ 𝕯𝕺𝖀𝕭𝕷𝕰_𝕶 (@KevinkhoZA_) reported

    Since WhatsApp is not working let's all download @signalapp

  • christiaens_123 Mathieu Christiaens (@christiaens_123) reported

    @Snowden @TheCryptoDog @signalapp Nothing better than an ordinary phone. Imagine internet down for a few weeks. Chaos. Would be good. Learn to talk and work again. Too much screentime for the youth and all of us. A few weeks off and back to nature and actual social interacting would do good to everyone.

  • iamgabrielsoft iamgabrielsoft (@iamgabrielsoft) reported

    WhatsApp is down, good news for @telegram and @signalapp

  • Debajyoti0901 Debajyoti Halder (@Debajyoti0901) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Don't you think the problem is in the centralized architecture? That this same thing can happen to @signalapp too?

  • chinabox44 Lebron James (@chinabox44) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp Signal is also ****. They could not carry my data to my new iphone. Continuously sending stupid help emails but none of them were useful. Seriously you are just ****! @SingalApp

  • koosdraadloos Jeroen ✶ (@koosdraadloos) reported

    @Just_Levi_D @signalapp I'll be training pigeons for when Signal also goes down.

  • birajlahkar Biraj Lahkar (@birajlahkar) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp I'm already using it. The only problem is that people are becoming addicted to WhatsApp.

  • LebaneseMedia1 الإعلام اللبناني (@LebaneseMedia1) reported

    @signalapp Signal is also not working 🙄

  • schnookiecakes Cakes (@schnookiecakes) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp It will be the same scenario of your Signal app goes down like Whatsapp.

  • dofin147 Fin (@dofin147) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp We tried to use it for our friend group. But the layout is really bad and had some server capacity problems back then. It needs to improve a lot to be perceived as a real alternative. We continue with Telegram for now.

  • aloktyagi9 Alok Tya6i Vats (@aloktyagi9) reported

    @signalapp I am switching from whatspp to signal but still facing issue here as well 😭

  • neerajrawat1 Neeraj Rawat (@neerajrawat1) reported
