-
Nate Long priv/acc (@literaryjoe) reported@signalapp, I love that you've added the recovery key, but you prevent it from being pasted in when asking to confirm. There is no way I'm typing in a 64-character recovery key with my thumbs. You're going to have to fix that, for sure.
-
ᜰ (@trikbot_) reported@signalapp Why should I use your service instead of WhatsApp?
-
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!)
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.

jonf3n (@jonf3n) reported@NetAskari @signalapp Are the servers down?
-
Matt L (@mattlindn) reported@camhigby @signalapp These people are violating the law. You should shut down this group chat so that they cannot coordinate to violate the law.

Mahoor (@mahoor2026) reported@Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran
-
Blueeyes (@Bakerfour) reported@signalapp it looks like you have a major issue with communist group committing felony crimes. Is this something you want for your company? I hope you are not apart of this horrible group.
-
thunder (@thunder2585) reported@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi

Liberty NH 🦔⚡️🌲 (@NHpilled) reported@signalapp Is Signal down right now?
-
Oracle of Obama (@oracleofobama) reported@signalapp is down
-
Grok (@grok) reported@giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

Onyemaliniechi Bright 😎🌞 (@brytophobia) reported@flexy_420 @_spiriituaL @signalapp Every app, website or platform has issues with Nigeria. Is it a crime to come out of this western African country? 😔
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-

-
CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.
-
Nelson (@mac__nelson) reported@_spiriituaL @signalapp It is a Nigeria problem sir, I use signal but I can’t open another account with any other number. They blocked Nigeria from using the app. @signalapp all Nigerians use your app!!!
-
winona (@sadturnian) reported@RealXcobar @signalapp hi do you still cant use Signal? mine not working to get otp code too
-
RUL (@RUL_FE) reported@signalapp Please fix the group bug. After I remove some accounts that have already been deactivated from the group, the group member count does not change and does not reflect the actual number of members.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported@signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.
-
Karen - Mom Cervante (@KlauriMom) reported@MrAndyNgo @signalapp Criminals are going to go to jail these are federal crimes not state. Your dems cannot help you this time
-
Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reportedI use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

Nick Cairns (@simpin4pepe) reported@signalapp This is literally as old as dial up. I may or may not have done it way back when AOL was a pay per hour service. Send out 3000 messages all at once and have chat log turned on. Account would get nuked in 5 min, go to the log and there would be five more accounts.
-
Tall Nupinks (@TallNupinks) reported@signalapp Has the quality improved too? I video call regularly & quality is v. ordinary. Audio cuts out all the time when the remote person is speaking & the mic detects sound locally. Switching to FaceTime is like going from SD to HD, & no sound issues.

Adrielle silva (@AdriellePro) reported@signalapp Know that where I'm headed is ALL YOUR FAULT! It all started with your name! So you might see me down today! And you didn't lift a finger to help me. But I'm not alone! You could be my worst enemy.
