Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • DjokerNol23 Suyash (@DjokerNol23) reported

    @signalapp facing the same problems as Pied Piper. It's a good problem tho

  • NishantShetty15 Nishant Shetty (@NishantShetty15) reported

    @signalapp By the time Signal fixes the issue we can try @telegram and yes telegram is always on due to its distributed servers.

  • podperson Tonio Loewald — Impatiently waiting for 46 (@podperson) reported

    @signalapp Anyway. Remember how TOR was created by the *US navy* to help foreign freedom movements communicate safely and secretly (they said)? How Bitcoin was developed by ??? as anonymous virtual cash. Both immediately became the tools of criminals.

  • incognito_doc Caffeinoholic 👨‍⚕️☕ (@incognito_doc) reported

    @signalapp why am not getting activation code? Server problem??

  • SkypLabs Skyper 💻🎧☕📖 (@SkypLabs) reported

    @sunny051488 @signalapp Adding new servers won't fix all potential bottlenecks. It's like adding more lanes to a highway, they will all be merged together at some point...

  • 3000000Eeh @3000 (@3000000Eeh) reported

    @signalapp The problem is still going on. You will lose many members, and the return of migration to WhatsApp will be specific to several waiver of the condition of deleting the account. Please solve the problem quickly

  • Af91204 Tough Cookie🇮🇳 (@Af91204) reported

    Signal app is not working properly What's the problem? @signalapp

  • cccAlpEren1 🇹🇷🇦🇿NuBuğ🇦🇿🇹🇷 (@cccAlpEren1) reported

    @signalapp Trying my best to migrate friends and family to Signal from whatsapp. But that shall only last if such issues in the initial days doesnt happen.... Going all in on you @signalapp... Do not let me down

  • highvoltage 𝖍𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖛𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖆𝖌𝖊 (@highvoltage) reported

    @MENCEEEY @xychelsea @signalapp You don't get it, this is always going to be a problem. Chelsea has this right.

  • ungermatt Matthew Unger (@ungermatt) reported

    @mattdlockyer @signalapp Yeah that was bad timing for them to go down. Lots of communities looking for a new home and testing telegram, signal, and slack

  • Nettack Tobias Wozniak (@Nettack) reported

    @dmitry_says @ashtonpittman @signalapp There is no tradeoff. If you would start weakening encryption other regimes would hunt down activists for human rights. You can't demand that, just because you think your principles are worth more than Putin's.

  • stoopnik Tom Lowenstein (@stoopnik) reported

    @jamie_jhnstn @signalapp Already had Signal and have moved a bunch of WhatsApp groups there now so will give them time to fix it, otherwise yeah...

  • AravindhStanley Aravindh Stanley (@AravindhStanley) reported

    @signalapp is signal still down? I can send message but cannot receive anything.

  • Niki47296062 Emma (@Niki47296062) reported

    @signalapp Not working 😔

  • aashray7289 Aashray (@aashray7289) reported

    @signalapp Please solve all issues as soon as possible. Or people will again move toward other messaging app and services. Some other issues are - Can’t ring my phone when someone place video call to me. - Provide registration on multiple devices. - Please provide walkie talkie like feature

  • AlRaffah1 Al Raffah English (@AlRaffah1) reported

    @signalapp There is a problem while sending a text or a media it takes too long to reach! Hope you'll fix it.

  • roygrubb Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported

    @signalapp is down again ☹

  • pdmoran_aws Paul Moran (@pdmoran_aws) reported

    @steven_bryen @chrismunns @signalapp I have to PAY for a service? Can't they just support a security and privacy product with ads? 🤪

  • jorgecondutor Jorge Oliveira (@jorgecondutor) reported

    @signalapp Signal ate 400MB mobile data during the night doing nothing due to the outage :/

  • mlusetti Massimo Lusetti (@mlusetti) reported

    @lattera @signalapp Then they probably would be partially down

  • SalimAshraf1 Salim Ashraf 🇵🇰 🇦🇪 (@SalimAshraf1) reported

    @signalapp I have installed the App yesterday but failed to complete the phone verification process. I am surprised as to what the standard of services would be in the future in context of current outage. Is @WhatsApp still a right choice?

  • offroad_soul offroad.soul (@offroad_soul) reported

    @signalapp did a logout login.... Lost few groups from the list in the bargain.

  • karim_dorzadeh Karim Dorzadeh (@karim_dorzadeh) reported

    @_atjn @Snowden @signalapp Well, I read the article. All of it was just assumption of possible vulnerabilities, or issue of trust. It doesn't mention that It's protocol or encryption is compromised. It doesn't mention that Telegram Secret Chats are vulnerable. That tells a lot.

  • scharlakenlied Selma (@scharlakenlied) reported

    @signalapp @LA_Devotweet Still not working.

  • DaiasDerek Curious Dee (@DaiasDerek) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp @Facebook It's apparent now that whatsapp shouldn't have sold to Facebook. Just like Mark didn't want to sell his facebook company. Guess they lost their focus and fell for a flawed deal. Well, there's #SignalApp! No problem.

  • mksgraz Michael K. Schmid (@mksgraz) reported

    @signalapp The App is working properly (it seems) but I still have the red message in the display header RE technical problems. Do you have a hint how to remove? App & evan phone have been restarted several times

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @plookit @signalapp Why is this embarrassing? More and more people want to talk securely and privately and are no longer interested in #WhatsApp and #Facebook. This can lead to minor problems. This is a sign that we are on the right track! #SignalApp

  • mitanshu mitanshu (@mitanshu) reported

    @signalapp Repeatedly getting "bad encrypted message" from a single contact. Any way to stop that notification while you resolve technical issues and add extra capacity? 🔕

  • AlanAstureyme シ Alan Astureyme ツ (@AlanAstureyme) reported

    @signalapp fix error 503 😣

  • y_gaurav_ Gaurav (@y_gaurav_) reported

    Signal is down. @elonmusk @signalapp
