  • peterinprg Peter in PRG (@peterinprg) reported

    @signalapp @superglaze Left Signal together with my family after they tried to shovel down my throat some PIN to use the app. Also app requiring phone number and using centralized server not allowing 3rd party clients is far from secure or anonymous. You are better off with Element/Matrix.

  • mt_klein Zipfelmützenzombie (@mt_klein) reported

    @signalapp Hey thanks for Signal! But I have really issues with the Ubuntu Linux desktop version. It starts painfully slowly in total contrast to Windows and Mac. I read that this was a known behavior in the past. Any hints?

  • nedimcodes Nedim F (@nedimcodes) reported

    Successful build of @signalapp . Took me 20 minutes to figure out where issue was, now time to dissect it. Should I turn this to thread?

  • CoderCarl Carl The Great (@CoderCarl) reported

    @TRAVELVIDSxyz @Bitcoin @signalapp 100 usd just to ask u a question? lol... how about u spend some money on getting a non-**** website. My bank even refuses to let me sign up to your site cos it's tooo shady and it had complaints. Fix your ****.

    @signalapp I can't find many gifs in android app. I don't have half of them. Did you remove/block them? on ios is no problem.

  • 0x4171341 0x4171341 (@0x4171341) reported

    @signalapp Please fix what it would be like to be able to respond with stickers that you still can't do that. Another thing is to be able to add more sticker. Thank you

  • CodingSwifty iOS Dev (@CodingSwifty) reported

    @signalapp Please update source code, lots of people wondering the legitimacy. I love your service but us customers would like to be up to date =]

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @freebrain2020 @irieger @signalapp secure client-side encrypted backup would be a valid feature. The problem is more "it's hard to do securely and conveniently", less "it's not a purist IM feature"

  • Farhassane Farzad Hassanvand (@Farhassane) reported

    In Iran, the signal application has been filtered and we are not able to join this application in Iran due to the restrictions created. Please think of a solution to help us. @signalapp

  • reticuleena Leena (@reticuleena) reported

    Hey @signalapp, I need some help. One of my contacts is creating an endless row of "Unterhaltungsitzung aktualisiert"-Messages (about 30 per Minute). Even blocking the contact doesn't change that. What is wrong and how can I stop that?

  • _klhen K L Henry (@_klhen) reported

    @signalapp ...need option to Star messages for searchability and buggy error causing ************ no signal notifications no matter what I do (ALL TROUBLE SHOOTING FOLLOWED ) to turn them on. (Even after contacting company x3 now with no response!)

  • emmanuelMais Emmanuel Maisonneuve (@emmanuelMais) reported

    Hey @signalapp and @oneplus! Since I updated to oxygenos 11 on my #oneplus7tpro signal can't stop crashing, especially on 1 group, others conversations works fine ... it's hell, really, any solution ? Thx. #help

  • vin__eet Vineet (@vin__eet) reported

    @signalapp hi, there are no notifications, if I start a group call. Can you please fix this? Thanks

  • dantvli Danny Teok (@dantvli) reported

    @iamanekait @signalapp My Pixel 2 has no problems with this, however, my spouse's Huawei P20 Pro has this issue. Not sure how to fix it.

  • iamanekait Aniket Dubey (@iamanekait) reported

    @signalapp Still.. Bdw I'm having issues with my @signalapp notifications.. I've tried everything but I don't get notified until I open the app.

  • amitkdw Amit (@amitkdw) reported

    @pilotjaveri @signalapp Which festival isn’t ? Also sharing pictures doesn’t spread any diseases ? Signal app which is a multinational open source messaging app is just wishing all of us “Happy Holi” and why would anyone have problem with that ? If you feel bad then बुरा ना मानो होली है। #HappyHoli
