Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TomerGamerTV TomerGamerTV (@TomerGamerTV) reported

    @arm64_v8a @signalapp I keep seeing reports of people sending them security reports and they are not responding for over a year and nothing patching this issues

  • BarbossHack BarbossHack (@BarbossHack) reported

    @ultimape @signalapp @signal The issue is that users will get used to Signal messaging them, because it actually does, and they may fall victim to Signal impersonation scams in the future 😬

  • PLRivo936 Patti Rivers🐊🇺🇸 (@PLRivo936) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp These protesters have to be shut down and carried away. They are endangering our federal officers and obstructing justice! ICE needs to bring vans with them so they can load them up and take them off to jail.!

  • DoingFedTime Sam Bent (@DoingFedTime) reported

    @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp SGX has been broken multiple times (Foreshadow, Plundervolt, SGAxe). You're trusting Intel's enclave to protect data that didn't need to be collected in the first place. SimpleX skipped that whole attack surface.

  • ultimape UltimApe (@ultimape) reported

    @BarbossHack @signalapp @signal That being said, there does seem to be room in these messages you highlighted to add: "please note that this account does not respond to support requests and we will never proactively reach out to you on signal about a problem with your account"

  • KCDN19 Kyle Choi 崔凯尔 (@KCDN19) reported

    @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp Lol. Threema doesn't have this problem.

  • diamondhands100 AKNH60 (@diamondhands100) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Obviously they’re not working… ICE needs the blessing of the administration to crack some heads…

  • Endin_Cinder Human_Element (@Endin_Cinder) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Why did interfering with federal authorities become normalized for the fed? Im seriously ready for the crack down on these insurectionists.

  • JPenterprizez JP (@JPenterprizez) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Seems to be an issue of organized riots=crime..

  • WillToMake Will (@WillToMake) reported

    @signalapp Please fix video sending. Can’t send vids more than like 1 minute long

  • techbore Tech-Bore (@techbore) reported

    @filos @signalapp Plus they've been caught downplaying serious bugs, and only fix them if there's public backlash. Not to mention they'll do anything & implement any feature, just to AVOID removing the phone number requirement.

  • MinnetonkaMist MinnetonkaMist (@MinnetonkaMist) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Is there anything that people who support ice can do to like help with you guys in anyway can we like figure out who these people are and like flatten her tires or something?

  • Cynnamoroll99 Cynnamoroll.eth (@Cynnamoroll99) reported

    @session_app has made substantial progress since 2020 when I first used it, but after all this time one key issue has not been addressed. Metadata redaction. @signalapp has had this for years, but @session_app does not. Instead, their focus is on preventing IP leaks, sybil attacks, and protecting user location/data. This goal however becomes more difficult if we are unable to strip the metadata of attachments automatically. If you're a reporter, whistleblower, or activist, revealing metadata from attachments can potentially put lives at risk. Please, along with Session Protocol V2, introduce automatic metadata stripping for all users. It is sorely needed for an app that prides itself on privacy.

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Shut . It . Down .

  • NetAskari NetAskari (@NetAskari) reported

    Heard many times lately that people move from Signal back to Whatsapp, as often after an iOS update, the notifications are not working anymore. The normal user then just thinks "this doesn't work" and drops it eventually. @signalapp Maybe a good idea to get this fixed.

  • juvation Mr Angry from Haight everything (@juvation) reported

    @signalapp please to fix the long standing keyboard focus bug. If I'm looking at a chat, typing should go to the logical place. Check @telegram behaviour for how it's done.

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Why not? They got free time…no problem to get the posse together when you not bound by the chains of gainful employment

  • TinaWillard Tina - Psalm 46:10 🇺🇸❤️🤍💙 (@TinaWillard) reported

    @KimKatieUSA @Meta @signalapp Shut them down (the apps).

  • alimasroorii عامو علیشونم (@alimasroorii) reported

    @adamzea @signalapp Thanks. My problem is that my gov. has banned the SMS login option and there is no other way to login or create a new account.

  • mt90_05 Sx (@mt90_05) reported

    @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp @grok does the service provider that the phone number signal requests received a signal message to the phone number for verification

  • TomerGamerTV TomerGamerTV (@TomerGamerTV) reported

    @signalapp Fix your security first

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @mt90_05 @iAnonymous3000 @signalapp Yes, when you register with Signal, it sends a verification code via SMS (or voice call) to the provided phone number. This message is routed through your mobile service provider, as it's a standard telecom process. Signal doesn't store the code long-term for privacy.
