  @signalapp Thanks for your efforts guys! However it is still not working for me. I want to send messages in a group chat but it's been 10min since I hit the Send button, and Signal hasn't sent it :/

  @honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us legal requirement for back doors, a sustained ddos.. federation.

  @signalapp Hi, my messages can send but the person gets them hours later. I've tried uninstalling n reinstalling but still the same issue. I can't even make calls

  @FoxCahn this really is a terrible "feature" to ping all your contacts when you install @signalapp. I realize they're doing it to build their user base, but that makes it less of an excuse, not more of one.

  @ducheng0 @signalapp I think @session_app is better. It's anonymous and private. The problem is the same: users.

  @kln_nurv @MayWongCNA @signalapp My signal was also down today, but now it is working as normal

  @signalapp notifications under iOS 15 are still broken. It’s becoming really frustrating. The latest update didn’t work at all. Considering going back to … 🤢 WhatsApp. I can’t believe I said that.

  @honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us law making signal difficult to run, a sustained ddos.. federation

  @session_app @dankslimshady @signalapp You are an Australian company, a country with terrible privacy policies and backdoor requirements for encryption protocols. If you care about privacy you would consider moving your operations to Switzerland or somewhere else.

  Zack Shure (@thesystem) reported 28 minutes ago

  @signalapp hey, your notifications on iOS 15 is still broken, also after the last update. That’s really annoying.

  Is @signalapp down again, or is it me?

• 
  Léon Aronofr 🇫🇷Ⓥ (@LevAronofsky) reported 31 minutes ago

  @signalapp update : usually when there are problems, I get a notification in *red*, "not sent". Today, nothing. But now I'll now : One check mark : sent to Signal's central servers. (that's what I had). Two check marks : received by the person's device. (I didn't have the second one)

  @soumyacpl @signalapp That's implicit in my case. NON SMS messages were not working in already established groups.

  h3pl (@h3pl5) reported 33 minutes ago

  @Soft_Bred @session_app @signalapp Telegram is spookier than WhatsApp. But keep using a half-proprietary, hardly encrypted "service" that pulls people in by the premise of privacy and anonymity on the basis of it's claims. Even it's E2EE chats use an experimental encryption protocol.

  honK (@honkFl) reported 36 minutes ago

  @wan5hang4 @signalapp odd. I've been using the app for more than 2 years and I can remember 2 outages that lasted longer than maybe a minute. The service was very reliable for me so far.

  M T (@Marctraider) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Snowden @signalapp @Facebook Signal is overrated, and as shown by this global outage its just another unsafe cloud based solution. We need to go back to p2p and self hosted alternatives. (Matrix maybe?)

  @signalapp $DATS never went down 🚀🚀🚀

  Kai Mast (@cskama) reported 45 minutes ago

  @basierterFlo @signalapp From their tweet it sound like there was a single outage that took the whole service down. I don't remember the last time Whatsapp was down for this long (~6hrs), but obviously outages can still happen in a replicated setting due to networks partitions etc.

  @signalapp Well app is down again.

  @signalapp It’s still not working.

  @MikeCoxCowes @signalapp I've been using this for a few years and honestly this is the first hiccup I've seen that affected service, maybe I've been lucky, but I'm a daily user. I'm fact I was responding to a message when I got this notification...

  @signalapp We still gave trouble with th app. many messages stocked and the syncing stopped !!!!! Until now

  @signalapp's updated crop tool is unusable because if you try to crop from the bottom, it changes the angle of the pic. Really, really terrible.

• 
  Jonas Grønås Drange (@semafor) reported 56 minutes ago

  @basierterFlo @cskama @signalapp The point was, it’s okay to have down time, but signal needs to tell its users what happened and how they’re fixing it in order to establish trust.

• 
  Alastair Pitts (@aperebus) reported 57 minutes ago

  2. @signalapp also has backups and restore, but you cannot restore your chat history between operating systems. Which is ******* terrible because you completely lose your chat history. Family group that has kids photo's and stuff? Gone. Messages to friends about stuff? Gone.

  @signalapp Improve the services please. Signal is often down and causes lots of inconvenience to me and my friends. BECAUSE WE DON’T USE WHATSAPP TO CHAT WITH FRIENDS ANY LONGER and we trust you.
