    @a_kamko @signalapp How will telegram help?

  • j4s0ngr33n constant pain (@j4s0ngr33n) reported

    @signalapp 12hrs down now. Had to resort to using baked in msg app on my Nexus for time being.

  • atishsanyal Atish Sanyal (@atishsanyal) reported

    @EdB_SP @signalapp I don't understand the problem. Divine in your phonebook, presumably your friend, joins your messaging service. Why is it a security lapse to inform you?

  • grootthedude Michael H. (@grootthedude) reported

    @signalapp Now it works with iphone to iphone. But it seems to be a problem with the android app?! Everything i send to different Androids doesn’t get thru.. Does anyone else have that?

  • theveritas4 Truth and Justice (@theveritas4) reported

    @shanedk @camsoft2000 @signalapp Personally, we pay for good service. WhatsApp used to be subscription on Android and BlackBerry. It was as nominal annual fee but worth it.

  • PreciselyPriv Precisely Private (@PreciselyPriv) reported

    @signalapp Any ETA/update on when the service will be fully operation again?

  • heapsofbaloney Tony Baloney (@heapsofbaloney) reported

    @signalapp bunch of simps whining about the service being down likely havent donated a godamn cent. Whatsapp called, they have room for you at the Inn.

  • venusdevotee2 venus devotee 🌺 (@venusdevotee2) reported

    @WhatsApp deleted Facebook and whatsapp, deleted messenger too ages ago. never going back, and I'm so so happy with @signalapp 's service and privacy. thanks for giving me a reason to delete Facebook and whatsapp!!

  • OndejBordovsk1 Ondřej Bordovský (@OndejBordovsk1) reported

    @milo4007 @signalapp Signal is not disturbing, people use it naturally because it's safer and more private, show me any server that could gain 4200% of users and not have problems

  • j4s0ngr33n constant pain (@j4s0ngr33n) reported

    @signalapp MSG's coming though on signal right now. UK. Sent/del/read all working. Still have issue warning at top.

  • nina1bg Nina Bogdanova (@nina1bg) reported

    @signalapp any update about service ?

  • Jetgirl242 Jetgirl (@Jetgirl242) reported

    @signalapp STILL not working this morning 😔

  • nowuseeme007 Nowuseeme007 (@nowuseeme007) reported

    @signalapp You guys still down in Australia or not by choice?

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @psiv_ @terribletension @signalapp So the abuser has your phone number, and you don't have their phone number. Does this issue mean the attacker can see you have Signal? If yes, what attack options do they then have? Can they be blocked by adding the phone number to block list? Please help me understand this!

  • PreciselyPriv Precisely Private (@PreciselyPriv) reported

    @signalapp Any update on how things are going on your end and/or an ETA on when the service will be fully operational again?

  • janitchy_janik Swoop (@janitchy_janik) reported

    @signalapp still have problems? Can’t send messages

  • janitchy_janik Swoop (@janitchy_janik) reported

    @signalapp Still not working :/

  • drharisaslam Muhammad Haris (@drharisaslam) reported

    @Peter57570148 @signalapp Yes thats why i installed that but facing issues for more than 12 hours now. I know its because of growing users and load but they should have anticipated that and action should have been quick

  • MattLebrao Matheus Rocha 🇧🇷 (@MattLebrao) reported

    @CKorenbeusser @FullStackFool @signalapp Yeah, but they were expecting that. They're a major service of a major company. Its structure for its services are already born big and ready to receive large amounts of clients. (+)

  • ManuelSavorelli Manuel Savorelli 🙏❤🇺🇸👮‍♂️🦅 (@ManuelSavorelli) reported

    @a_kamko @signalapp Tks, how will telegram help?

  • hot2use John Ness 🇬🇧🇨🇭 (@hot2use) reported

    @signalapp I sponsored US$ 50 to help with the infrastructure costs. What is everybody else doing to help Signal? Thank you @signalapp

  • JessicaMulein Jessica Mulein (@JessicaMulein) reported

    @CedarStoneTower @ashtonpittman @signalapp Technically some on-phone text analysis pre-sending could maybe help but that's.. yeah.. not how that platform works.

  • theveritas4 Truth and Justice (@theveritas4) reported

    @signalapp To get around the issue of NFO, we might suggest a nominal annual subscription for users. While WhatsApp was free on Apple, Android and BlackBerry users paid an annual service fee off $0.99. WhatsApp eventually got rid of it.

  • MattLebrao Matheus Rocha 🇧🇷 (@MattLebrao) reported

    @CKorenbeusser @FullStackFool @signalapp When you're an indie, you have to scale as you grow, since there's no telling how successful you're gonna be. Also, Disney did major marketing for its service (which also indicates they were ready for it), when was the last time you saw a Signal ad?

  • pwg254 Paul-Willem (@pwg254) reported

    @janvlug @signalapp I would like the source of the outage... I am willing to donate to the signal foundation as well

  • BhushanFate ßђυsнáи ƒムтé (@BhushanFate) reported

    @signalapp ask help from hike.. As they are officially closed they may help you regarding handling of the technical issues...

  • ashcasson Ash K. Casson (@ashcasson) reported

    @signalapp Is it frustrating that Signal is down? Yes. Will I be going elsewhere? Hell no. I'll wait patiently and know that when I can use it again, it will still be the most secure option there is. Respect and appreciation to you.

  • wangubaagu ワング (@wangubaagu) reported

    You really have to fix #Signal. And also. There is no ringing when people call me. So I always miss calls. What's that about, dear @signalapp ?

  • amandafclark Amanda 👩🏽‍💻 (@amandafclark) reported

    @igor_ostrovskiy @signalapp Outraged over and outage ;) x

  • offroad_soul offroad.soul (@offroad_soul) reported

    @signalapp My service seems to be back after storage clearance and relogin. Few groups got deleted from my list and few recovered on thr own
