Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DavidMann666 David Mann (@DavidMann666) reported

    @signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...

  • XBMXYW 青い夜の記憶 (@XBMXYW) reported

    @signalapp When will Google and Apple's passkey login be supported? Both telegram and wechat next door have been supported, and it comes from the loyal appeal of an advanced user who supports signal software development every month.

  • WaqqasAhmmad Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported

    @signalapp your server is down in pakistan, trying since yesterday to sign up but unable to do it

  • WaqqasAhmmad Waqas Ahmed (@WaqqasAhmmad) reported

    @signalapp server down, unable to sign up and not even working on laptop , bad experience at start

  • dalu_hey Darko Luketic (@dalu_hey) reported

    @signalapp Phone Video calls are broken on Android since the last update

  • ThisisMarcG MarcG (@ThisisMarcG) reported

    @ritrixi @signalapp Its great for the login, but There was a decent argument for phone numbers, in order to gate the signups while still keeping it free. which made sense a while back. Passkeys still need a fallback & Users are sharing that fallback. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • Avieshek Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported

    @SIGNAL_RETURN Why doesn’t @signalapp launch an email service?

  • Tree_0flife Kata Saya (@Tree_0flife) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp After repeated messages and emails to Signal support, over issues of Indonesian numbers unable to register for signal and receiving nothing but 🦗... Beginning to wonder if there isn't something more substantially sinister going on. What is being hidden and why? If its bug - say and give a fix it timeline. If it's soft censorship, say so (aka the Gov leaned on you). Otherwise it's beginning to sound suspicious.

  • Sami_Lehtinen Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported

    @signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash

  • Crowbar1910171 Scare Crow (@Crowbar1910171) reported

    @signalapp is not working for them all

  • giyasibrahim Man with scandalous behavior (@giyasibrahim) reported

    @signalapp @grok Why doesn't Signal use email login instead of number?

  • RUL_FE RUL (@RUL_FE) reported

    @signalapp Please fix the group bug. After I remove some accounts that have already been deactivated from the group, the group member count does not change and does not reflect the actual number of members.

  • __am_________ _am___❤️ (@__am_________) reported

    @signalapp Need #signalproxy pls help

  • CisoDiagonal sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso / Global Cyber Security (@CisoDiagonal) reported

    @0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.

  • RadhaKhn Radha Khan (@RadhaKhn) reported

    @dubeyamitabh @signalapp hmm, that is everyone switches, problem is most won't, so stuck to same old!

  • Toobydoo 𝔖𝔱𝔢𝔫 𝔙 (@Toobydoo) reported

    @naomibrockwell @signalapp Signal really is a problem fronting features. Even if your an experience computer user with some experience securing things, it’s often not obvious what to do or where to go.

  • schwabbler mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported

    @CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here

  • mtrantalainen Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported

    @Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.

  • candicekteo Candice (@candicekteo) reported

    Currently stuck in a Captcha loop nightmare on @signalapp because I created a new group chat with new contacts, whom I sent a DM to first before adding to the group. I tell myself it's OK as it means protection and security are working on Signal.... but HELP. 💀🛡

  • simpin4pepe Nick Cairns (@simpin4pepe) reported

    @signalapp This is literally as old as dial up. I may or may not have done it way back when AOL was a pay per hour service. Send out 3000 messages all at once and have chat log turned on. Account would get nuked in 5 min, go to the log and there would be five more accounts.

  • psu_chris who is john galt? (@psu_chris) reported

    anyone else have the issue when i get a @xai post from a @signalapp chat.. it NEVER opens the link INSIDE X but loads it up in a web browser on the iphone? frustrating!!! links for youtube work.. so why not X?

  • JAVM94 josé alberto (@JAVM94) reported

    Hey @signalapp The Problem With Reply voice message and VoiceOver is Back. If You reply To a Message With Voice Message and VoiceOver is enabled you Don’t cud Play The Message

  • BeyondAI01 Beyond AI (@BeyondAI01) reported

    @signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.

  • BryanAgain Bryan again.. (@BryanAgain) reported

    @signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @giyasibrahim @signalapp Signal requires a phone number for signup (not email) so users can instantly discover friends from their phone's address book, and to limit spam—bulk numbers cost more/time than free emails. Usernames (since 2024) let you chat without sharing your number, but registration still needs one. Email wouldn't fix abuse or social graph issues as well.

  • fabianleitner fabian (@fabianleitner) reported

    @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

  • FiveEyeTea Jacob | Five Eye Tea (@FiveEyeTea) reported

    @FiliusGrok @signalapp @WhiteHouse It's not the tech, it's user error, as it has been in every other situation where a story like this drops.

  • Dea_rMen Dear Men. (@Dea_rMen) reported

    @signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

  • kryptzine KRYPTZINE GØÓÑ (@kryptzine) reported

    @monitalan @signalapp Sure, when there's a problem, definitely solutions will come
