I guess maybe next time try @signalapp Daryl? #ICAC #endtoendencryption This is so cringeworthy. So Daryl sucks but still waiting for what the problem is with Gladys?

The issue with notifications not being sent without opening @signalapp was driving me insane. You needed to open the app for the notification to appear. I’m glad such issue has been fixed.

@matthewbketchum @signalapp Not saying you're wrong. Just looking for a heads up on a problem I have yet to encounter. Your experience might save me 10 min :D

Hi @signalapp I think you have a server issue since this morning with some messages never getting sent and a lot never received. Same for people around me. We are in Europe. Thanks.

Dear @signalapp you are having serious issue on notifications on both ios and android versions...messages coming in only when one opens the app.

@malky30 October 26, Poland, Warsaw - Messenger is down again. I was waiting for a call from my beloved Woman. Unfortunately, email instead. We decided to switch to @signalapp

@ChrisGrundemann @signalapp any app which duplicates a service you could reach from your web browser should be suspect. such apps can bypass privacy and security controls in your web browser. case by case, ask "why does this app help its maker since they also have a usable web site?"

@signalapp Hi, a few of us have been having issues with Signal on and off this week. Is it overloaded or are there other issues, please?

@signalapp I often have both the desktop app (Mac) and phone app active. Over the past few days, I am unable to receive calls on my phone app if I am away from the desktop. Is this a known issue? In the past, both the apps would show incoming calls.

@matthewbketchum @signalapp I can’t stand LINE. It’s a train wreck of an app. Doesn’t work with any of Apple’s service-level feature set either- so no translate or anything else. iMessage and text work we’ll enough. I like the new Google chat, but I doubt it will become anything close to a standard.

@claudiajayne_ @signalapp Problem is failure to declare the relationship as required by the icac act. Please try to keep up.

.@WhatsApp - do you have security and #privacy problems going on? I am getting added to random groups with people I have no connection to. More people of my chats live on @signalapp now.

@matthewbketchum @signalapp LINE is so outdated and terrible. It’s amazing how widely used it is in Japan.

@signalapp, one of my contacts is causing a series of "Delivery issues" for me and other of his contacts, in both personal and group chats. As a result, all messages are taking a long time to be sent or received from both Signal Android and Desktop.

@signalapp My app isn't working since a few hours ago. Im seeing fragments of the UI, e.g. search icon, but then the app crashes with a black screen and closes itself. Restart & cache deletion didn't yield any results and I'm yet hesitant to reinstall. Is this a known issue atm?

Hi @signalapp, I'm experiencing some problems since the last update. Especially the lack of notifications is annoying. Sounds familiar to you or other tweeps?

@Goss_Gowtham @signalapp @telegram That sounds intriguing. The problem is the fact that people I want to communicate with do not use it, thus negating its usefulness in this instance.

@signalapp Why do you require a phone number to use your service? Why not user names instead? What’s with “stickers” on a privacy/security product? Serious users don’t care and it doesn’t enhance the service.

@signalapp The new update is creating an annoying glitch. When I exit a chat to my main signal menu, then back to the chat, it goes further back in the history of the chat. And when I click my keyboard to enter a message it covers what I recently viewed, I have to keep scrolling.

@signalapp why is it every single time i open the signal app on a computer, there is an update? sometimes it's multiple updates on any given day. terrible user experience if you ask me.

@Irie_Pirate @signalapp Success comes down to good user experience. Every single chat app has put stickers now. Heck even iMessage. Initially I was also not okay with whatsapp putting stickers as it takes a lot of screen space. But we need to understand something
