Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jason Sackey (@jsonsackey) reported@oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.
-
Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported@signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.
-
Bryan Murdock (@bdmurdock) reported@zentex @signalapp All security eventually comes down to some sort of secret. Passkeys, 2FA, etc. are great because they don't require you to share secrets like passwords do. They are nearly impossible to hack. But they still require some bit of knowledge that a social engineer can get from you
-
Paul Smith (@PaulSmithDM) reported@bradbury2010 @signalapp oh, apologies. I think we need to make a real distinction between secrecy and privacy and have established rights, like the Americans do, that protect our right to privacy. This can be broken under the condition there is enough solid evidence someone is doing something harmful

Grey Observer (@JohnAsser65014) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp Help the parents have and use tools, don't design clunky sector wide failures.
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reportedWhy you should really think about using mainstream messengers like @signalapp Stop linking your mob number to your metadata. No phone number, no problem; @session_app and @SimpleXChat don’t have these issues.
-
sam (@Samortelle) reported@signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

PiX (@pa1nark) reported@akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?
-
هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported@signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.
-
6H6ST6.AI (@6H6ST6) reported@WhatsApp @signalapp @X amongst many others been shut down around us in the UK how is this ok that this is allowed we’re been run out by the one person that promised us the best and is given us hell ! On earth how is this ok ? There’s no humanity there is no clear leader to lead!

Dark Lord Pika (@cryptoguideen) reported@JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.
-
Mahoor (@mahoor2026) reported@Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran
-
David T.S. Fraser (@privacylawyer) reported@spamfighter666 @signalapp (I've posted a corrected link -- not sure what went wrong.) I was referring to Parliamentarians only, to get a sense of what it would be like to lose this essential service.
-
alienznbotz.nft (@alienznbotz) reported@signalapp Hello, why can't Android users not send a vídeo without having to have enable Google Photos App to be able to compress any video. Why can't it be independent of Google photos for compression like WhatsApp does. Please address this issue. Thank you.
-
AinWeb3 (@AinWeb3) reported@signalapp It's always worth asking whether a loss of privacy today will actually solve the problem it's supposed to solve tomorrow.
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Hey, signal is not working in India. The website shows no outage, can you look into it?
-
David Gobaud (@davidgobaud) reportedis AWS or some cloud thing down...? two apps not working including @signalapp debug log support - weird

MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
Web3Privacy Now (@web3privacy) reportedGiving Friday: 1. Choose one "free" tool you use from @signalapp to VLC 2. Donate even $5 (every donation matters). 3. Help those teams stay free.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp If used fraudulently this software could be used to scan bank accounts and other financial and data critical ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres etc.
-
Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reportedSignal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it
-
Provocative ****** (@AJack2026) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Ooh I dunno - maybe start with the ******* parents who are failing at being, well.. parents. It is not the fault of everyone else if they are **** at that job - it is on them to deal with the issue and the absolute LAST organisation or anything that should be involved..is GOV
-
Sa'id al Athari (@SaidAlAthari) reported@_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice
-
Sebastian (@seb_mc2) reported@eiritana @signalapp How would that fix phishing?
-
Durango (@Durango4571) reported@signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.
-
SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported@notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)
