Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • HeroofSaratoga Benedict Arnold (@HeroofSaratoga) reported

    @David_Leavitt @elonmusk @signalapp is an e2e encryption messaging service that can replace your default text message on your phone. End-to-end encryption should be standard in all social media platforms, but how will they profit from the data you so freely give them? Take some steps to change that.

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @signalapp just did the recommended update now the app is crashing, cannot even open on iOS. Help.

  • keithrconrad Keith Conrad (@keithrconrad) reported

    Anybody else having issues with @signalapp sending weird notifications every minute or so?

  • Much_Mining 🇺🇦Much_Mining🇺🇦 (@Much_Mining) reported

    @occupymars42069 @elonmusk @signalapp No. don’t fix what ain’t broke.

  • PCnft12 Be One With Music ✪ (@PCnft12) reported

    When WhatsApp is down World - #WhatsappDown Us - @signalapp *You are my world* #Be1WithMusic #WhatsappDown

  • theTGhoul Ahmed (@theTGhoul) reported

    @signalapp When I send a message on iOS, the sound effect is similar to iMessage, except it's worse, louder, and lower quality. Please fix it!!

  • rphv4eva ரதன் (@rphv4eva) reported

    @signalapp are you currently having issues with media? I'm unable to play any media via the app and the error is Media no longer available.

  • jazzhoyt Jasmine Hoyt (@jazzhoyt) reported

    @signalapp is the service down? Can’t open my app

  • Scobleizer Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reported

    @technobaboo @matrixdotorg @signalapp We need much more encryption than our systems currently use. A lot more. Lots of problems all of a sudden in society that we need system-level protections from. And I know the industry hasn’t invested nearly enough here.

  • BshakeAntony Clutching Straws (@BshakeAntony) reported

    @WhatsApp down again 😕 people will flock to @signalapp and then run back to WhatsApp when it restores

  • Cricket79825440 Crickets (@Cricket79825440) reported

    @WhatsApp is down....again. Sure wish we had a secure app like @signalapp or even $BB M

  • Experdiza Доткор Хаос & HotRods.one (@Experdiza) reported

    If your WhatsApp messenger was down, feel free 2 switch 2 @signalapp #signalapp #signal or even @session_app (decentralized, no phone/email required)

  • iamrajofficials Raj kumar (@iamrajofficials) reported

    @WhatsApp @whatsapp very worst service. Doent have proper support. its waste of time. Stopped using month back. Due to your worst service not able to login into my number. @signalapp is 100 times better than yours

  • fkapeaceful revenge (@fkapeaceful) reported

    @signalapp please send me a DM if you can help me figure this out

  • henryjwallis Henry Wallis (@henryjwallis) reported

    @signalapp I cannot use your service due to constant captchas if you dont fix this i will have to migrate all my contacts off of your platform this is completely unacceptable

  • occupymars42069 Free Voice of Doge 🐶 (@occupymars42069) reported

    yeah, very easy, just install it onto your iPhone or Android-based smartphone and add people who also have @signalapp, that's all. In fact, it is not an sm platform but an encrypted messenger service. "But what is Signal App?" haha :))

  • DefiesLabels Defies Labels (@DefiesLabels) reported

    @signalapp Hey, I downloaded the new app update on my iPhone and now it won’t launch. There’s a serious bug with the new version. Please fix this ASAP!

  • LexDaMarin Lex DaMarin (@LexDaMarin) reported

    @signalapp here's a crazy idea... If it's not broken, don't fix it! Since the last two or three updates, all calls are being dropped, they don't connect, or most frustrating, I get a notification that someone is calling me on Signal, but the Answer/Decline window doesn't appear.

  • fkapeaceful revenge (@fkapeaceful) reported

    hey @signalapp i need your help. i’ve tried everything and my phone still won’t let me open the app. this is time sensitive

  • mikewink Mike Wink (@mikewink) reported

    @signalapp how about giving us a feature to delete contacts like any other application can? This blocking and unblocking game does not feel right and the contacts are still in the list when I create a new conversation. Please, please, please fix that issue! Thank you. 🤓

  • italoceco Aaron (@italoceco) reported

    If @WhatsApp is down I advice people switching to @signalapp which is safer. Or at least @telegram which has the best UI and quality of life functions. #whatsappdown

  • Keitmaan1 Kaytmaan Bhatti (@Keitmaan1) reported

    @signalapp Only problem is why the online status of recipient is not available on this app? It should be available if you want to replace Whatsapp. Thank me later

  • Angus_Loyc Angus Lo (@Angus_Loyc) reported

    @signalapp when are you going to release 3.35.3 in iOS? My signal app keep crashing once I open the app after updating to 3.35.2. This problem has been happening throughout a week. Are you not going to fix it?

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @gregoryneven @signalapp @VincentVQ Is that why the app crashed? It’s not working after an update in the US

  • benlucier Ben Lucier (@benlucier) reported

    @DipulP @signalapp That’s not the problem I’m trying to solve. I like SMS (and I use Signal too)—just pointing out some ****** matketing behaviours, that’s all.

  • naggingbear Sharp (@naggingbear) reported

    @fkapeaceful @signalapp Same problem here

  • khym54 khym54 (@khym54) reported

    @signalapp I live in Alberta Canada, and I get "delivery issue" messages from most of my contacts. "A message to _______ could not be delivered" and "a message from __________ could not be delivered".

  • AlisonBrux Alison A (@AlisonBrux) reported

    You know what's a good way to communicate? Even when #whatsapp isn't down. @signalapp.
