  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @leberschnitzel @signalapp Do you still have the problem?

  • Hifzu Hifzur Rahman (@Hifzu) reported

    @signalapp Still not able to update my security pin code. Please help.

  • ptrmlr pete (@ptrmlr) reported

    @signalapp I'm still having lots of issues in a group thread, and that reset option looks like it's only in the 1on1 chats. Looks like some ppl are able to send msgs but none of mine shows as delivered.

  • KrayloAdaraan Kraylo Adaraan (@KrayloAdaraan) reported

    @signalapp If you want more features, etc., etc., the people that work hard on this project need to be able to feed themselves while continuing their great work on this free service.

  • touchxpass Blue Sunshine (@touchxpass) reported

    @signalapp Well seems like you weren't ready for millions of sign up requests in such a short time. Still have problem signing up; no text or calls received

  • jwl4692 jwl4692 (@jwl4692) reported

    @signalapp Check out #instana and see if they could be off service in the future

  • mxrxwnn mrwn (@mxrxwnn) reported

    @Kei0x @heyDivyanshu @signalapp I swear its always these ignorant ***** that think fixing bugs and errors or adding features is as easy as a b c.

  • KrayloAdaraan Kraylo Adaraan (@KrayloAdaraan) reported

    @signalapp To everyone joining @signalapp right now. Great! Welcome! Before you complain, condemn, or criticize, put your money where your mouths are. A service that respects your privacy, doesn't monetize you, and doesn't demand payment, relies entirely on donations from its user base.

  • drl David Lewis (@drl) reported

    @quentinnield @telegram @signalapp Problem is always going to be, messaging apps are only useful if the majority of your contacts use it. While I share your concerns about FB, I don’t have many contacts on Signal or Telegram yet.

  • richblumer Rich Blumer (@richblumer) reported

    @signalapp hey, I am new to your app & love it so far. I am a former #WhatsApp user. I'd like to make Signal my default text app. However when I do that, it has issues receiving pics from non-Signal users via MMS unless I turn off WiFi. Pls advise on how I can resolve. Thx!

  • DeepXP Deep Ganatra (@DeepXP) reported

    @hardik @telegram @signalapp Issue is not notifications. Issue is, the chat screen gets full with these people and shows unread count for those. No read all option too.

  • venusdevotee2 venus devotee 🌺 (@venusdevotee2) reported

    @signalapp hey signal, love the app but I'm having a little problem with some of my messages. everybody in our group chat sends and receives messages fine except for one of our members whose texts we receive in dms as "bad encrypted message" :( is there any way you can help?

  • poolsclosedtho outa my way! I'm a HUMAN! (@poolsclosedtho) reported

    @redyennefer @signalapp Yes. they do. Why would you help them? I never met activists who thought phones were a good idea and yet you are advocating people id themselves with there real numbers? Usually i'd say you were naive but the attack makes you seem just malicious.

  • SinghRavvi Ravinder Singh (@SinghRavvi) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp hi, I am and my friends are having technical problems. First, when someone calling to me there is no ringtone, and no ringtone on video calling too. On video call, it drains the phone battery quickly. Please look...
