  Anyone know how to fix the @signalapp issue where texts don't go through unless you open the app and then they all show up at a once? It's really annoying

  @signalapp hey guys... I think your app is down in India. Not sure, but it isn't working for me and my friends.

  @nuintari @signalapp Ah, sure, ok, if your main problem is sms then that's different Partly my problem is I am Canadian where everyone refuses to use SMS

  Anybody else having problems with @signalapp ? It’s just crashed so hard that my phone panic-rebooted three times in a row, and now the desktop app can’t keep up with my typing speed.

  .@signalapp I honestly would donate to your contributor program but honestly if you issue NFTs to raise capital, I'd gladly buy some. I am sure many others would too.

  @FrankiesaysR @signalapp @WhatsApp The bureau has bent and straight up broken laws regarding search $ seizure, privacy, and who knows what else. Former LE with a masters in intelligence, I’m very familiar with lawful search. I called the FISA fraud with the Steele dossier in grad school. Eyes wide open my man.

  @signalapp fix your delivery notifications!!! It’s driving me crazy 🙄

  I use @signalapp pretty much every day of my life. I _really_ wish Signal wasn't going further and further down the cryptocurrency insanity hole. We might need an alternative to Signal that is content to remain just messaging, and never bolt on imaginary internet money BS.

  @alexstamos @CaseyNewton @signalapp Honestly I'm somewhat hoping it'll blow up, but only insofar that I really really really dislike yet another otherwise great piece of technology dragging itself down with crypto currency bullshit. If they fail because of this, it might be a good signal (pun intended) to others.

  @signalapp help. iPhone 12 Pro, can’t open images, can’t read messages on groups, already uninstalled and reinstalled. Latest version.

  @IanColdwater @signalapp Uh I was having the same problem with WhatsApp yesterday. Wonder if Apple push service had some glitch.

  Kazakhstan authorities have reportedly shut down access to key messaging services — @Telegram, @WhatsApp, and @signalapp — since Sunday amid protests. In some cities, including the capital, mobile internet is down and intermittent. We call on authorities to #KeepItOn.

  @signalapp new problem. All my selfies are in Apple portrait mode, ie blurred background. Did I do this? How do I change back?

  @IanColdwater @signalapp No idea how to fix it, but I've noticed that it seems to happen whenever they push updates that are intended to improve battery life.

  Alex Rock (@Pierstoval) reported 24 minutes ago

  @paulandrieux I will potentially need it for video creation (nothing fancy), @signalapp, my bank accounts, Steam login, and guitar string tuner, at least that, among other smartphones capabilities

  @signalapp having major issues trying to setup new phone pls help.

  Ken Tobe (@KidThorazine) reported 30 minutes ago

  @cuan_knaggs @IanColdwater @signalapp I did that and it didn't really fix the problem, it actually made it worse by randomly adding severe lag to normal, unencrypted messages.

  Problem 1. /e/OS uses it's own app repo, and it has an older version of @signalapp. Which cannot import my backup (made with a newer version). So I can't import my chats and media from Signal. This is a problem that stops me from using it. I'll share some screenshots though.

  @IanColdwater @signalapp If anyone has this problem on Android, it is usually the "smart notifications" feature which tries to guess what notifications you actually want and drops the rest. Turn it off, it sucks.

• 
  Pip Miller (@HeartsPeaceHeal) reported 45 minutes ago

  @signalapp If someone stops using your app, how do we change it so they can read our texts again? A friend dropped Signal, and when I text her it's still showing locked, so she can't read it. I can read her unlocked texts to me, though. Help!

  there’s a fair amount of work in this, as everything on Open Data Directive, ironically, needs to be FOI’d and potentially it impacts every public body currently selling/withholding/redacting public data will setup a @signalapp group for anyone who wants to help, let me know

  @VXO There's a very real problem here: using PKI directly and safely requires a cliff of a learning curve, and if you can't scale that cliff, you can't use it safely. But also @signalapp exists, and is… fine. (Acknowledging their C-level's ignorance of how the product would be …

  @IanColdwater @signalapp I had this issue. I can’t remember if I used the option under notifications in app to re-register or if it was from me turning notifications off and rebooting th phone.
