Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• neuroretransmit (@lastpacketbend) reported 2 hours ago

  @github Where did the issue go that I reported about Signal crashing a remote device using the @toorcon proxy? Convenient timing around when certain government employees got in trouble for using it? Should have changed the truststore passwords from "whisper" @signalapp

• Emir of Lego City🔌🐰 (@PurplePi3141) reported 4 hours ago

  @AlBonDeega @Artemisfornow @signalapp Chances are they push this through via software or they just turn on functionality that’s already present, such as hash matching for known CSAM images (cp) (less of an issue with that than scanning what you type before it’s sent imo).

• gagansuvarna_arts (@imgagansuvarna) reported yesterday

  @signalapp down

  Is @signalapp down?

• Grok (@grok) reported yesterday

  @Sivavanni1 @signalapp Screen security blocks software-based captures like Microsoft Recall's automatic screenshots, protecting against digital surveillance. Physical photos are a separate issue, but this feature targets OS-level threats for better privacy.

• Mr Angry from Haight everything (@juvation) reported 2 days ago

  @signalapp please to fix keyboard focus issues. When I switch to a thread and start typing, I clearly want to start a post on that thread?

• Clix Zon (@Qiny1688) reported 2 days ago

  @signalapp If my proxy address uses a non-443 port, the Android signal client cannot recognize the proxy address. The Android signal client must use the 443 proxy port. This is a very annoying thing. How to fix this problem on the Android client?

  @juanaxyz00 @ProtonPrivacy @signalapp the problem is people aren’t aware of what privacy online really is. they aren’t even aware of how little privacy they have offline. it’s a problem of awareness and the skewed belief of any sort of privacy

• Speed_Walker (@XSpeed_Walker) reported 7 days ago

  @jdryguy @shivan_kaul @signalapp lol go down the google hole if you havnt and realize how helpless you are unless you go full luddite anti communication

• João Mendonça (@joaomendoncaaaa) reported 9 days ago

  the problem with blockchain privacy adoption is that addresses are pseudonymous already that property alone is sufficient for more than half of all the privacy needs it's not the same as an application like @signalapp where you REALLY need ALL state to be private

• Bob-the-Pilot (@Bobthepilot) reported 11 days ago

  @signalapp Are you scanning my messages before sending e2ee?  The OSA requires regulated service providers (e.g., social media platforms, messaging apps like WhatsApp, Signal, or Telegram) to implement CSAM detection technologies.

• M (@umanitea) reported 12 days ago

  @signalapp Please help, DM, I am asked to verify myself with visuals every time I open the app now and I am vision impaired and please help

• chkdg8 (@chkdg8) reported 12 days ago

  Discord co-founder and CEO Jason Citron stepping down should've been the canary in the coal mine for a lot of people. #Discord is going to turn into the biggest government honeypot and data collection platform. It's why @signalapp and @revoltchat has been gaining traction.

• Gorgeous Gregg (@gorgeous_gregg) reported 15 days ago

  I think it is important to share this information. I hope you will retweet. When using voice to text what you say and the #transcript of what you say can be retained by the service you are using. For most of us that is #Google. @signalapp, @WhatsApp etc...only typing is secure.

• فرانک گلگر (@Frank_Gallag) reported 16 days ago

  hello @signalapp any help for registering to signal from IRAN? the regime has banned getetting OTP verification code by SMS and calling Best Regards

• Oscar Franco (@ospfranco) reported 19 days ago

  Does anybody work at @signalapp or has contacts within the org, there seems there is a lot of PRs that fix a lot of annoyances that are just not merged and replies on the OpenSource repo are not acknowledged? I'm just curious and would like to chat a bit on how can one help

• Etim* (@EtimOyoIta) reported 19 days ago

  @mer__edith @signalapp @signalapp signup is the pits. How many times do you need to ask me to verify that I'm human? Then, you can't send an SMS to my designated number, only to become insecure about my humanness again! Fix up!!!!

• WilBown (@WilBown) reported 20 days ago

  .@signalapp and @mer__edith should really look at integrating local #AI into their app. It is perfect, you could chat with your private AI, running on your device at home. Solves so many problems. But because they dont, it leaves room for projects like mine @iamai_core

• 𝙼𝚊𝚗ºⁿ𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 🕊 𝙻𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚗⚕︎𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 (@LamoureuxEterna) reported 20 days ago

  @signalapp Hi, please help. Having username issues, and your web interface is demanding a debug code, which there isn’t.

• Kyle K (@Macman2034) reported 21 days ago

  @Barnacules @signalapp Nice! love to see stuff like that to actually try and help protect users.

• M@nSoOr (@Devil_4U) reported 21 days ago

  @signalapp Can’t register on Signal. “Check connection” error shows despite strong Wi-Fi/data. Tried reinstall, reboot, reset network, disabled iMessage/FaceTime, all permissions on. On iPhone w/ eSIM, iOS 18.5. Ongoing 12+ hrs. Need help ASAP. #SignalApp #ios18

• M@nSoOr (@Devil_4U) reported 21 days ago

  @signalapp Plz help! Just switched my phone, trying to register my number on the app. It asks for details but gets stuck at verification—says “check phone connection or Internet” even though SIM & Wi-Fi are working perfectly. Can’t proceed. Anyone faced this? Need urgent help!

• Ephraim (@ephraim_thereal) reported 22 days ago

  @signalapp, please fix your app It doesn't work in Nigeria for some reason😡

• East Midlands Green Party (@EMGreenParty) reported 22 days ago

  @NorthantsGreens @signalapp But frankly I'm running the twitter account, and Facebook I've set up the whatsapp, I've sent the emails, booked the venue and visited it and also done all the back and forth with the speakers, I've reached out for help but to silence in return. Apologies for lack of perfection

• Sam Programiz (@SamProgramiz) reported 22 days ago

  @StanleyMasinde_ @timothygachengo @signalapp It boils down to trust, maybe TG making their servers OSS would increase the level of that trust

• GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported 24 days ago

  @thotsonrecord @naomibrockwell @signalapp Doesn't have anything to do with a vulnerability. Signal's error message isn't correct because it applies to more than cellular calls. It's likely Signal seeing that it started a call itself. Very likely just a Signal bug.

• Subway Oven Supervisor (@oven_mgr) reported 28 days ago

  @signalapp needs threads end of story the west will fall without it @moxie what are you doing to fix this? NATO depends on it
