    @signalapp Fix your ******* photo sending lag and poor video calls!!!

  • vinifortuna Vinicius Fortuna (he/him) (@vinifortuna) reported

    @Jessevd @signalapp They do, unless you use a service-centric, rather than human-centric, interpretation of "downtime". Also, other people are perfectly capable of understanding it. Anyway, not worth spending the energy on this.

    @angrycoder1 @QuekaDeQueso @signalapp The service claims to be private but it is actually accumulating content and metadata on massive scale. Telegram is not a non-profit, but an LLC, and they reserve the right to stab you in the back, as soon as it's time to slaughter the piglet.

    @signalapp hey you guys bought down Fb, Insta and WA servers? Either way I’m not impacted 😜

  • Benardies Benard (@Benardies) reported

    Hi hate @signalapp only because they celebrate when other fellow is down.

  • nnp202 NP (@nnp202) reported

    @signalapp hey signal, you guys bought down fb, insta and wa severs? Either way I’m no impacted 😜

    @mmrabbani @alirezaimi @signalapp How is this supposed to work? If the local provider doesn't deliver the SMS and calls, another number won't help either. However, roaming along the border would probably work. Dial up briefly in the other country and receive SMS.

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @angrycoder1 @QuekaDeQueso @signalapp Telegram: Not E2EE by default, no E2EE for desktop, no E2EE for groups. History of security issues like IND-CCA distinquishability, literal backdoor with *****-XOR shared key, 64-bit precomputation MITM. Also protest groups still leak identities by default to phone# bruteforcers.

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @DictatorWatch @signalapp Facebook: Not end-to-end encrypted by default Telegram: Same Facebook: opt-in E2EE for 1:1 on mobile Telegram: Same Facebook: no E2EE on desktop Telegram: Same Facebook: Service could spy on you without you knowing Telegram: Same From tech PoV, they are the same. Just use Signal

    @JoshMuhenyeri @IsraeliIdanAlt @signalapp when it's not down?! 😎

  • jdcrunchman John Draper (@jdcrunchman) reported

    @signalapp why cant I use audio or video on iPad ver of Signal. It worked earlier then stopped working. I don’t even see the mic icon anymore. Has anyone else had this problem?

  • filos Luca Filigheddu 🇮🇹 💻🥋🍻 (@filos) reported

    @odogwudev @signalapp You need to be convincing. Evangelize the service and highlight the benefits. 99% of my conversations are there now. Uninstalled Whatsapp on Feb 28 and not looking back.

  • jeremygaither Jeremy Gaither (@jeremygaither) reported

    See iMessage trending, android users crying in robot tears that WhatsApp or Instagram was down... but why not use @signalapp instead? Secure, cross platform, good features...

  • paulopereira Paulo Pereira (@paulopereira) reported

    @signalapp Can you please fix the sharing of videos? 9 out of 10 times it doesn’t work...

  • alirezaimi alireza (@alirezaimi) reported

    @signalapp I can't login anymore in #iran because i can't receive any sms or call from you ...

  • padamnegi29 Padam Negi (@padamnegi29) reported

    @signalapp Sometime when I am offline, no msg notification untill I open the app. Earlier I thought may I am using old version but after updating latest version I am facing same issue.

  • Rock1obster Rock Lobster (@Rock1obster) reported

    @signalapp a bunch of us are having issues with Signal. Can't DM or send messages in group chats. Any messages that were sent over a week ago slowly roll in every night. Ex, I just received messages that were sent 5 days ago.

  • 0xJoey Joey (@0xJoey) reported

    @signalapp Yeah, but it's down in China,

  • Krunalc16 Krunal (@Krunalc16) reported

    @signalapp down in India or what? Unable to send and receive messages...tried reinstalling but it says my network is out of service...not able to get an otp....plz have a look at it.

  • KeripikManis18 Keripik Manis (@KeripikManis18) reported

    Hi @moxie and @signalapp I am a fans of you and really wish I am able to use #SignalApp for a long time. Notifications are still the main problems you should focus on. Just like my friends and my case, we can't receive notifications when the app is closed.

  • boomchange1234 BOOMCHANGE1234 (@boomchange1234) reported

    @MattBNA @_Jayyyyy______ @signalapp I live in a mostly developed country.I said local ambulance for a reason, there is a of course a telephone based emergency service but they operate in a large area..takes 40mins. The WhatsApp one takes 10mins max and provides automated messages with emergency tips.

  • charlyloic Charly Loic (@charlyloic) reported

    @signalapp You let us down when we all wanted to jump on your ship and leave watsapp

  • JnaneshwarChav2 JNANAA (@JnaneshwarChav2) reported

    @instagram please inform us before shutting it off.. I thought error was from my side if this repeat I will ask @signalapp to come of with app that work exactly like Instagram #instagramdown #misuseofusers

  • GR3Y_ANT Simon V. (@GR3Y_ANT) reported

    @vinifortuna @signalapp I'm sure healthcare workers have bigger problems than feeling attacked by a tech joke on twitter, chill dude

  • telerett telerett (@telerett) reported

    @signalapp Is register by voice call currently not working in #Germany?

  • janitchy_janik Swoop (@janitchy_janik) reported

    @signalapp a friend has the problem that he only receives messages when he opens Signal. Do you know a solution ?

  • BofingerDavid David Bofinger (@BofingerDavid) reported

    @IanWoolf @signalapp If there's no report process then have to guess the problem will persist.

  • CgGeagea Geagea Cynthia (@CgGeagea) reported

    @markus_ottela @signalapp You're right, but replacing whatsapp only without some other apps is useless. Even Ggle is accumulating metadata, can we abandon ggle? Dnt think so. But anw my point here was that a 10 mins "outage" is definitely not a reason to switch to Signal.
