Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported@signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported@zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!
-
Mahoor (@mahoor2026) reported@Shahinlooo Emergency communication collapses when the internet shuts down @Cloudflare @Signalapp #DigitalBlackoutIran #IranRevolution2026 #RezaPahlaviForIran
-
Aleksi Sjöberg (@aleksisjoberg) reported@nullc0py @signalapp @404mediaco Of course that _could_ be a feature, but: - many receiving such messages would think something is broken - the recipient must have control of their own device's behavior over the sender - the real risk is the human at the other end most of the time
-
Goldfish 🟠 (@Gold_Phishy) reported@bdmurdock @signalapp It does. As a security guy, I don't mind a few seconds to secure. I have however seen people putting in a lot of effort to get round our controls at work, for ease of use. I'll always try and have a chat and see what the actual issue is, and if we can do something.
-
Sarina (@Rainwashmee) reported@signalapp In 1988, Iranians were silenced by guns. In 2022, by blackout. In 2025, will you help them be heard? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
ChilizHODL⚡️ (@ChillizHODL) reported@signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.

Roy (@Roy_1465) reported@signalapp please fix it!
-
Rob Hamilton (@Rob1Ham) reported@octal @signalapp I have dozens of gigs of space on my iPhone, but it did flash a storage issue just before crashing
-
DarthTrader (@DarthTraderzzz) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Death sentence for ****** would help.
-
Idea Catalogue (@idea_catalogue) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks for instance someone could mail you pics you don't want, also anonymously. but i don't call for the post office to censor everyone's mail. you can choose not to open the mail from unsolicited senders. or pay a service to filter your mail and not forward ones screened for ******
-
Notesnook (@notesnook) reported@signalvoyager @signalapp What's the mistake? Enabling notifications? This is not isolated to Signal. If it were then we'd have a problem. Every single app's notifications gets saved in a place and manner that is outside that app's control. There's no opt out. That is why Apple fixed it.
-
Tee Time (@topicswithatee) reported@signalapp Im reading a lot of abuse and a lot of "tech Lord" adoration but very few actual proposals to use the tech itself to stop kids from taking or sharing **** pictures. I suppose some of the repliers above have no issue with young kids having social media apps which the medical 1/2
-
Luksit (@VijjaHolder) reported@TheDesertLynx @signalapp The problem is that in order to use Signal you need to make use of their servers.
-
Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported@bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.
-
PawelNotts (@PawelNotts) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who says we have to? You were given a fake problem to worry about.
-
Dustin (BusySignal-KE2EFX) (@DustinFinn) reportedOMFG - these arm chair security people calling this recent issue where iOS notifications where preview messages were held - calling it a @signalapp issue are just making me nuts. It’s an #OpSec issue / if you’re concerned - security is not one app it’s an entire process.
-
AzadiAzadiAaazadi (@RaziehAskari) reported@signalapp Day 79: Iran's government silences its people by cutting off the internet. Without connection, voices are extinguished. You have the power to help amplify them. Please, use your influence to stand with us. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026
-
@beatrizelenaflorez (@beatrizelenaf) reported@signalapp We kindly request a language translator for the application. If it's not too much trouble, thank you.
-
Ian Bradbury (@bradbury2010) reported@PaulSmithDM @signalapp I thought "crap parents are so terrified of" might have been a clue that I agree with you completely. The missing tone of voice makes it harder though. I regard this "ooh the kiddies" as utterly despicable. The problem now is to find a party that won't do it.
-
Divesh Kumar (@diveshkumar786) reportedWhatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.
-
ast_pap (@mag_restlin) reported@signalapp European union attempts to take down Signal because they can not control it. So they try to make a picture that the app is not safe.
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reportedMy mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.
-
angelina.jolie (@jolieangel2323) reported@signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.
-
Jess (@theweb3jess) reported@sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet
-
Durango (@Durango4571) reported@signalapp Instead of repealing the law that throws people in jail over mean words on the internet, which is clearly ridiculous, they're going to double down? It's like watching 1984 play out in real life.
-
pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reportedDamn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app
