  • AF_14137_ abdullah (@AF_14137_) reported

    @signalapp Hi, the Signal application has been re-applied on my phone, but when adding the phone number, a message appears (something went wrong, please try again) and the problem is still there

  • limon_perplexus Pranav B (@limon_perplexus) reported

    @signalapp the ability create a local backup on iPhone would save us a world of pain. Please help🙏

  • al_kslaan علي الكسلان (@al_kslaan) reported

    @miixms_ @fuckyeah_c @signalapp an on/off toggle would be a smart choice. They can disable it by default. if it is about privacy and security. sms verification is a real problem. Alot of people were asking for another way more private like an email verfication with usernames or what session app is doing.

    Is @signalapp down? Signal down

  • TheMisir Misir (@TheMisir) reported

    Can someone from @signalapp take a look at a issue I have been dealing with: basically whenever I try logging in via my #, it responds 'Something went wrong'. I already submitted a support ticket, but haven't heard back.

  • ytacplus Aytac (@ytacplus) reported

    @signalapp Just registered and I can't sync contacts, are you guys currently having problems? Device: Android and yes, contacts I have shared! @signalappde

  • Yomisma832 Yomisma83 (@Yomisma832) reported

    @signalapp Hi, i cannt receive messages and send this... Can you help me??

  • MichaelSLaufer Dr. Mixæl S Laufer @mixael@kolektiva.social (@MichaelSLaufer) reported

    Yo @signalapp do you know the ******* panic attacks you give to everyone when you change your icons and user interface? Do you know how many of us have to go and audit our updates to make sure it isn't some decoy that did a poor job? Please slow down. 🙏

  • a_mortal_b3ing Baharul Islam (@a_mortal_b3ing) reported

    @signalapp (Going all the way down to the chat list to find Archived Conversation section is like going to mining for coal.) And there should be an option to keep Archived Chats in Archived Conversation section always even after receiving messages.

  • realshennan Shennan (@realshennan) reported

    @osamabintakeshi @signalapp haha we should not prefer any gov to define it. ideally better be no one can define it so that they can back down the data in ideal decentralized vision, may not be very realistic though.🥹

  • tlangdon tlangdon (@tlangdon) reported

    @signalapp is there an issue preventing searches by phone number from working this morn?

  • botnetzprovider Michael Mauer (@botnetzprovider) reported

    @signalapp @sTeamTraen Can you please keep us as users updated on this possible issue ?

  • adrianbowyer Adrian Bowyer (@adrianbowyer) reported

    @georgebernhard @signalapp Yes. though it's a problem of scale: if every user is responsible for their own keys, and there is no central repository of them, then they can't for example, lock up every user of Whatsapp in the whole nation.

  • NandiniU_ Nandini Upadhyay 🇮🇳 (@NandiniU_) reported

    @signalapp no revert from your end from last 48 hrs, please solve my issue ASAP.

  • realshennan Shennan (@realshennan) reported

    @gkq4szjbwj @signalapp I believe DLT but I dont believe signal when they say they will not back down “safe” info…which means they will back down“dangerous” ones…which means they will and can back some kinds info they choose. no need to mention country btw, cuz it’s an universal problem to solve.

  • ClassicAmerican Grant (@ClassicAmerican) reported

    @was_not_here @signalapp Well I don't if I can help it but unfortunately there are people out there who still do. In fact, most people still do.

  • FredTitmus Not Fred Titmus (@FredTitmus) reported

    @olihoughio @session_app @signalapp What precisely is the problem with that?

  • MutoKaneyoshi Kaneyoshi Muto (@MutoKaneyoshi) reported

    @bencgvideos @signalapp Bad actors are a risk worth talking, end of the story. You do not strip down people of their rights just to defend against a rarity of a supposed bad actor.

  • Void03526433 Vo (@Void03526433) reported

    @signalapp we are having issues with searching for our friends contact on signal. The app keeps declining. Even to search ones contact is a problem.

  • AppleSuckss taag (@AppleSuckss) reported

    @akshay_12358 @signalapp @telegram Telegram also has the issue with chats not being encrypted.

  • EcoloBee James Bee 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇺🇦 (@EcoloBee) reported

    @signalapp a few days ago one of my chats started appearing as bubbles and I can't seem to turn it off. It's driving me up the wall - can you help?

  • iBradWilson Brad Wilson (@iBradWilson) reported

    @signalapp I’ve noticed video call quality has dropped off a lot lately. I thought my carrier was throttling until I tried a FaceTime video and saw a huge upgrade in clarity. Is this a known issue that you are working on?

  • a_mortal_b3ing Baharul Islam (@a_mortal_b3ing) reported

    @signalapp Signal is still unable to restore local chat backups. I tried this uninstalling and reinstalling the app. The is one the most grave problem with Signal, not being able to restore local backups.

  • TheMisir Misir (@TheMisir) reported

    Can someone at @signalapp take a look at an issue I have been dealing with: basically whenever I try logging in via my #, it responds 'Something went wrong'. I already submitted a support ticket, but haven't heard back.

  • BoredtownBoy Steve Foster (@BoredtownBoy) reported

    @signalapp @davidjwbailey @telegram Yes, you can have policies and standards and procedures for locking prople out AFTER you discover what they have been doing but, with an encrypted service, you can only find out from a 3rd party and after the event…

  • olihoughio Oliver Hough (@olihoughio) reported

    @FredTitmus @session_app @signalapp it's not a problem, it's better!

  • MayaMitKind Sun princess Maya ☀ (@MayaMitKind) reported

    @ytacplus @signalapp @signalappde Same problem here!

  • w70881 W70881 (@w70881) reported

    @bencgvideos @signalapp Absolutely not, they provide a service for everyone to engage in private communications, it's not their responsibility to police bad actors

  • USA_MDCCLXXVI 🇺🇸 (@USA_MDCCLXXVI) reported

    @theproayush @ProtonPrivacy @signalapp That’s my issue. Tried to get people to switch. Fell on deaf ears.

  • gkq4szjbwj zerk (@gkq4szjbwj) reported

    @SatyaSibaNayak @signalapp Whatsapp actually uses Signals Cryptographic Systems! Which is neat. Doesn’t help that they still keep your metadata, but they have solid E2E
