Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • welshdai15 David Hutton (@welshdai15) reported

    @crahane09 @signalapp No... Chinmay, they're not trusting them. Something to do with privacy issues due to Facebook's newly enforced privacy policy. I've been considering changing myself. Currently unsure what to do.

  • lakshaygupta Lakshay (@lakshaygupta) reported

    @moxie one can not make group video call on @signalapp there is some@issue...it does not let other users join

  • Claireebubbles Claire (@Claireebubbles) reported

    @signalapp Any word on when service will be back to normal or an update on how things are going? I realise it's a tough situation, and I'm not complaining, but I still have messages sent 24 hours ago that haven't been received yet...

  • davidebrady David E Brady (@davidebrady) reported

    .@signalapp it's been almost as day now, when is the service likely to resume?

  • JamieB226 Jamie Booth (@JamieB226) reported

    I see a number of smart people warning that @signalapp isn't completely secure because of issues with the phone OS or keyboard. I agree. All I'm saying is don't shoot the messenger.

  • cccAlpEren1 🇹🇷🇦🇿NuBuğ🇦🇿🇹🇷 (@cccAlpEren1) reported

    @signalapp Signal(@signalapp), The system is still not working. Is the problem too big.? Messages are delivered too late. Please find immediate solutions.

  • jtmajorx Jon Major (@jtmajorx) reported

    @signalapp looks like service is slowly coming back online. I'm sure there's much work ahead, but big shout out to Signal team. Keep up the good work.

  • marcwenger Marc (@marcwenger) reported

    @signalapp I'm sure you all are working hard over the weekend to restore service, but it's been 16 hours since your last update/tweet. Any idea of some service restoration?

  • 369ix Madushan 🥭goda Jegatheeswaran ☸️🇨🇦 (M.A.J) (@369ix) reported

    @elonmusk made @signalapp break. Lots of traffic to signal and most of the time #signalappdown service is down.

  • whatatweets Alan (@whatatweets) reported

    @signalapp windows desktop client was stuck in "updating" after back from outage and churned out a 2.7gb log file in an hour before I noticed. closing, deleting log and restarting fixed it. Log file shouldnt be able to grow that big!

  • hkhedrofficial Haitham Khedr - هيثم خضر (@hkhedrofficial) reported

    @signalapp I know you are doing your best but it's taking too much time to resolve this issue. This will reflect negatively on consumer behaviour and interest. Yes, #PrivacyMatters but we must have a solution ASAP. #SignalApp

  • _Colin_Watson Colin Watson (@_Colin_Watson) reported

    @LNER Why the privacy destroying Facebook service? Please provide support via @signalapp and @telegram

  • pastels_ponies 🌸 pastels & ponies 🥂 (@pastels_ponies) reported

    I’ve been trying to get people to use @signalapp for years and all it takes is one Elon Musk to tweet about it and people flood to the app in mobs that the app is down for a day

  • vantex24 David 🎲 (@vantex24) reported

    @signalapp still issues with groups and contacts Some work some don't

  • vantex24 David 🎲 (@vantex24) reported

    @signalapp still having issues in UK Technical warning banner still on my app Not all my contacts receiving messages

  • Badka__ji बड़का जी🏹 (@Badka__ji) reported

    @signalapp it's almost a day ... We still facing problem with your services. Please resolve it asap

  • telcodud Telecom Dude (@telcodud) reported

    Hey @signalapp, a number of my WhatsApp groups have migrated to Signal, and now they don't have a way to communicate because of Signal's technical difficulties. Lost opportunity of a lifetime? @signalapp has been down for over 24 hours.

  • HugoFer69726776 Hugo Fernando (@HugoFer69726776) reported

    @signalapp Many messages that i sent don't arrived to their destination... Some friends that i convinced to change are returning to WhatsApp again because of these kind of problem

  • fromcyberspace ᑕYᗷEᖇᑭᑌᑎK (@fromcyberspace) reported

    @benrxiao @csBlueChip @signalapp And aren't you annoyed when each time you reinstall and migrate , it asks you for a 30 digit passcode which when you do after a long time you remember you didn't note it down or lost it?

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @stevec00ps @signalapp Are you still having problems? If so, have you restarted the encryption?

  • JosephJasson74 Joseph Jasson (@JosephJasson74) reported

    I noticed that @signalapp is having some issues, so I made a donation.

  • uk_prepping UKPREPPINGSHOP (@uk_prepping) reported

    @signalapp Are THEY having the app? Seems odd week after you take half billion users away from FB stasi the site goes down...

  • Brooks_Lawson1 Brooks Lawson (@Brooks_Lawson1) reported

    @rtinhk @signalapp There's no reason to believe funding is an issue at this time. Exponential growth is the issue. Connecting enough servers to facilitate this growth is a physical hurdle, not a financial one.

  • MiguelLunaz Miguel Lunaz (@MiguelLunaz) reported

    @signalapp After using signal for 2 weeks (since news on Whatsapp and privacy) I still have concerns; no online status in Signal, windows fat client is like 2010-ish look with the classic File-Edit-... view, winclient doesn't work behind an enterprise proxy, error handling msgs,.

  • GangamalluKenc2 Gangamallu Kencha (@GangamalluKenc2) reported

    @signalapp Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

  • rockoutmagazine Rock Out Magazine (@rockoutmagazine) reported

    @signalapp please make downloads $1 ... This is crazy that your long-time loyal users and supporters can't use the service now. #ElonBrokeSignal

  • yparam98 Yathavan Paramesh (@yparam98) reported

    @ForLovenFreedom @signalapp Here's an idea: Stop complaining about an open-source application created by hundreds of volunteers that prioritizes security that you're able to use for free and instead donate some money to their foundation to help them out. A 50+ million surge of users is no joke mate.

  • bigfack 白左thirst-worldist🏴🔰 (@bigfack) reported

    @hdevalence @signalapp I wonder if they hit some kind of low level limit in the same vein as the November AWS outage.

  • Jhdonato Jhonatas D Gonçalves (@Jhdonato) reported

    @signalapp Hello, here I want to praise your work with this amazing app and ask two questions: is the app expected to return to working normally? What if it has features that other messengers have, and that you will put on without losing the security issue?

  • joaooliveira Jσασ Oʅιʋҽιɾα (@joaooliveira) reported

    @kopsportugal @signalapp Well, 100K groups make an even stronger group anywhere. Trying to solve the issue on the immediate only tackling the root causes would take years. Meantime revolutions and revolt happens on a blink of a eye!
