  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @signalapp hi my app is not working. I’ve not heard back from anyone from your company. Can you please help?

  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @signalapp hi my app is not working. It says to send a debug message, but it will not work.

  • itisbilly Billy Pandamonium (@itisbilly) reported

    I just made a donation to @signalapp because I think I’m doing the right thing and I’m tweeting about it because I’m conceited. It really comes down to either paying for a good product, or using a free product that turns you into the product for a paying 3rd party.

  • rgentozala Reine Gentozala (@rgentozala) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Thank you so much. Is this because Twilio’s service cannot support messages sent from a China number?

  • 0xMadness 0xMadness de’ Medici u/62 (@0xMadness) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp A lot of people are having the same issues. Laggy app, can't click "back" to view other message chats once in chat without closing application, notifications lag and sometimes don't update. etc etc its been happening for over a month on multiple different phones

  • bitkarrot ₿itkarrot⚡️ (@bitkarrot) reported

    @ODELL @signalapp @moxie lol i'm not sure it can work without SGX. this is the problem with depending on big tech (intel) to maintain your infra, NGMI

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

    @koala_leb @signalapp No, I do not notice any problems

  • moogoo68 moogoo68 (@moogoo68) reported

    @signalapp I am having issues with iCloud Private relay when using wireless carrier. No issues when using my home wifi/network. Is there an issue using iCloud private relay with Signal on an iPhone with a cell phone carrier?

  • mike_rayco Mike Rayco (@mike_rayco) reported

    I think @signalapp is down.

  • AmitejRana amitejrana.blockchain (@AmitejRana) reported

    I use @signalapp for messaging, coz it's safe, open-source, peer to peer, promotes data privacy as compared to #WhatsApp or #Telegram which goes down anytime and have our data in their centralized database. Better to switch to apps that are either open-source or based on Web 3.

  • L_etter Lejla Sarcevic (@L_etter) reported

    Pretty annoying that I had to delete ALL of my @signalapp desktop data due to some *waves hand* data error that kept crashing it every 3 minutes. Hoping all those Signal Star symbols I'm seeing pop up help fix this kind of crap which is entirely too common.

  • QuintessenceAnx Quintessence {🥑/} (@QuintessenceAnx) reported

    Anyone else on iOS (14) having issues with @SignalApp messages only loading / notifications not sending unless the app is open? I've already re-registered for push notifications. 🤔

  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I was messaging a friends and it shut down my phone completely. When I turned back on the app will no longer open.

  • C_J_F_T ChristopherTrimboli.eth (@C_J_F_T) reported

    @signalapp Having some issues connecting to desktop mobile app QR code. Scanner is not picking it up. S20 ultra android device. Not able to get a lock on and login. 😭

  • rostyslav999s Ростислав Салабай (@rostyslav999s) reported

    @NilssonHolger @basierterFlo @signalapp The problem is with people that use Signal only

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

    @rgentozala @signalapp For the usage itself, a VPN would be usable. But during verification, the number of the sender is simply blocked in general. I'll see if I can find something that can help you.

  • BryanFThornton Bryan Thornton (@BryanFThornton) reported

    @Thedrken @signalapp Your logical security controls are eventually going to break down if you fail at basic physical security.

  • koala_leb コアラ (@koala_leb) reported

    Is @signalapp down?

  • Cyphermoney Cypher (@Cyphermoney) reported

    @CryptoTweetie @signalapp Seems more likely a bad recipient than a bad service. “One possibility is that a recipient with access to the messages handed them over to investigators. The complaint references group messages run on the app, so it’s possible a participant in those chats cooperated.”

  • ODELL ODELL (@ODELL) reported

    How does Intel's SGX deprecation impact @signalapp? Seems to rely on it heavily... Possibly one of the reasons @moxie just stepped down.

  • RyanZohoury Ryan Zohoury (@RyanZohoury) reported

    @GailAlfarATX @signalapp What if signal goes down too? 👀

  • Ulfman75 Ulfman (@Ulfman75) reported

    Hey @signalapp, I would like to support you but when I chosed that option in the app my payment via Gpay has been reclined. Tried different (German) credit cards but I keep recieving an error message. Any advice?

  • mechanism_8 Mechanism Eight (@mechanism_8) reported

    @radio_research @signalapp That is suboptimal, not sure what analysis would really be possible, but the issue for me is that Google is perpetually shady and any interaction should be avoided. So why don’t they?

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

    @hannabroad1 @signalapp What kind of problems do you have? Maybe I can help...

  • m_ueberall Markus Ueberall (@m_ueberall) reported

    @TorksAdam @UtopiaP2P Did you read the column in question? As long as *message content* isn't shared, most of their users shouldn't have a problem with that. As long as there's no comparable user base(!) and tested, reliable (third-party) command line interface, I see no reason to replace @signalapp.

  • sthulb Simon Thulbourn (@sthulb) reported

    @signalapp any known issues in Europe with fetching messages? Seeing some slow interactions

  • rgentozala Reine Gentozala (@rgentozala) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I see. Hopefully there’s a fix.

  • billvinson Bill Vinson (@billvinson) reported

    @WhatsApp @signalapp Another complaint with @signalapp is the linking to a phone number. Any service that locks me into a single device/carrier ID is a non-starter for me...

  • Oakeslaw Peter Oakes (@Oakeslaw) reported

    @dj_dule @signalapp Yes, you are right. My error completely. Will repost with correct handle. Sorry Signal.

  • estoydelpasado Del Pasado (@estoydelpasado) reported

    @signalapp seems to be down here in the Philippines.
