    @signalapp When I send mesg on mobile, I don’t see it on Windows app (sync issue). Instead I see “Error handling incoming message “ in Notes to Self. The vice versa works fine. Is this a know issue?

  • thesocavault The Soca Vault (@thesocavault) reported

    @signalapp Good Day. I'm finding issues with Group Chats. Some responses are coming in very delayed, and some are not coming in at all, but individual chats are fine.

  • theMatthewTsang Matthew (@theMatthewTsang) reported

    @signalapp Great work, but again, any plans to fix the inconsistent font size in quoted message??

  • DustVoice DustVoice (@DustVoice) reported

    @Info_sec3989 @signalapp @WhatsApp How can't people understand that it's a mom-profit! They couldn't care less if people returned to whatsapp, or how many users they have. They're just trying to help the cause... apart from that they don't care if people want to give up privacy because of things like wp an stories

  • aaaldehyde _aldehyde_ (@aaaldehyde) reported

    @signalapp I set the media auto download on for all media types on wifi but I have to manually save media to gallery every time...how can I fix this?

  • forzafine forza (@forzafine) reported

    @signalapp But there has been an issue with video and voice call on signal, calls gets disengaged before you even get started... could this be location specific?

  • teabaggertom Tom K. #FBPE (@teabaggertom) reported

    Using @signalapp ...? Phone calls, video or regular (most of the time), don't work. Anyone else have this problem on 'Signal' ? Missed call notification arrives soon after attempt ok though.

  • garv_02 Gaurav Yadav (@garv_02) reported

    @signalapp Hi @signalapp the app is running slow I face problem in receiving notifications for the messages received.

  • wbtsec 🜏 wbtsec ⛧ (@wbtsec) reported

    @signalapp @WizardPuzzle @RagnarsMate When are you going to add the option to Block The Sender (highlight msg, block it) before reading the actual msg? The user shouldn't have to open a potential rogue msg first and then choose to block it through terrible navigation. Bring the old Signal business strategy back.

  • MEHR1DAD MEHR DAD (@MEHR1DAD) reported

    @mohsindhamrah @signalapp I have this problem too on my android phone

  • jolune_m Jolune🌙 (@jolune_m) reported

    @signalapp Thanks ! Are you aware that listening to audio messages got harder now because the playing is randomly cut, or goes on but soundlessly, for no reason ? I hope you can fix this soon 🙏

  • _rave_king The L🅰️zy Investor (@_rave_king) reported

    @akhil_gopan @signalapp Part of the problem is awareness, and the rest is just "convenience"

  • Vrikson_Acosta Vrikson Iván Acosta (@Vrikson_Acosta) reported

    @signalapp After I download signal-desktop-win-1.39.6.exe, when I click on the file to install it, a file deleted message appears, (which I did not do nor asked to do), and the file is not even in the trash bin. What is the problem? Please help.

  • rishi_jhun Rishi J (@rishi_jhun) reported

    @signalapp having major issues Not getting call notifications. Terrible may go back to whatsapp

  • x00future \x00\future (@x00future) reported

    I’ve been using @signalapp for close to four years. Reading about the problems there after they suddenly gained 20 million users. Thanks to every one coming in and messing it up. It was a good app. Seems like it’s going to go down hill now with the changes they want to add.

  • Adarsh67527303 Adarsh (@Adarsh67527303) reported

    @signalapp There is no way to know people are in online or offline and last seen or anything like that I think signal will fix this !!

  • ks_Sreyas Sreyas K Sunil (@ks_Sreyas) reported

    @signalapp @Chature_ I had the same issue at times. Could you please send me the steps?

  • KsuRwt keshu rawat (@KsuRwt) reported

    @signalapp Plz fix server ..we really like to use it... But the server and app stability is ****** up

  • james_gao3 James Gao (@james_gao3) reported

    Use end to end encrypted messaging service Signal or Telegram. Far more superior than @WhatsApp. @signalapp should be better as it's fully open source.

  • tomov_eu Dimitar Tomov (@tomov_eu) reported

    the more secure @signalapp has issues with iOS14 photo permissions It either gets permission to all photos or none. There is the possibility to select specific photos but signal doesn’t allow that - it is all or nothing.

  • gabornyers Gábor Nyers (@gabornyers) reported

    @signalapp See, the problem with (the lack of) on-line privacy is not the rampant data extraction and monetization by big tech companies. It's the wildly asymmetric value of the exchange, i.e.: they get *much* more than we do and they do not want to share. #CrappyDeal

  • Unviction Frank Quevedo (@Unviction) reported

    @EliKurc @signalapp Stories/Fleets/Status have absolutely NOTHING to do with private messaging whatsoever. Because it's not meant to be the point of the service it's MEANT to provide. They want a Social Network? IG, WS, FB and now (sadly) Twitter have it as well.

  • dr8i_ Intisar. A🦉🇴🇲 (@dr8i_) reported

    @signalapp Why are messages arriving so slowly although the internet connection is excellent? How can I fix this problem guys?

  • rishi_jhun Rishi J (@rishi_jhun) reported

    @signalapp cant make calls. Network failed error!
