  • scottgallant scottgallant 💙💛 (@scottgallant) reported

    I see @signalapp as the Wikipedia of today (an essential service that circumvents capitalism). …encrypted, powered by donations, open-source, a not-for-profit, and not owned by @Meta Love it.

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

    @fuckyeah_c @signalapp You mean that the messages arrive at the recipient only when he opens the app? This is unfortunately a known problem...

  • mosesngeth Moses Ngeth ង៉ែត​ ម៉ូសេ🌻 (@mosesngeth) reported

    Hello, @signalapp I am having an issue when uploading attachments using Signal on MacOS. It won't upload. I have to restart my Singal or leave it for a period of time and upload it again. macOS and Signal are up to date.

  • MikeDesai Mike Desai (@MikeDesai) reported from New Delhi, National Capital Territory of Delhi

    @cIndraneel @signalapp Installed before anyone else. 4years ago. Uninstalled well before it became a craze last year. Contact syncing is a major issue. Messes my WhatsApp list. Anyway WhatsApp is safe. Issues happen because people back-up chats.

  • pepie34 Pepie 34 🐦🏳️‍🌈🐾 (@pepie34) reported

    @signalapp link to desktop app not working right now (iphone + Mac)

  • roygrubb Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp 2nd updated version installed since 31st March report. The problem is not fixed. Reminder - multi-screen Windows PC, on 4K screen. Further info, 3 screens, 4K screen is not the primary screen.

  • orblivion Dan (@orblivion) reported

    @lmatsakis @signalapp Ideally the NFTs should contain a hash of the artwork for integrity, and the artwork should be hosted in a way that won't ever go down (such as IPFS). But (according to this blog post) instead it just has a URL to a file that OpenSea controls.

  • Glenn_Wilhide Glenn Wilhide (@Glenn_Wilhide) reported

    @signalapp I could really do with some help linking a new device

  • nabeel_co Nabeel Rahimpour (@nabeel_co) reported

    @signalapp the fact you can't transfer your signal messages from iOS to Android or back is such a stupid limitation, it's making me reconsider ever using Signal. How am I supposed to recommend Signal when it causes these kind of problems?

  • RSxmxNl17fJogVN ابراهيم عمر (@RSxmxNl17fJogVN) reported

    @signalapp I appeal to you, people, to help me. I want to feed my children. No one responds to me for debts to people I want to pay.

  • FractalEcho Rua M. Williams (@FractalEcho) reported

    When you use @signalapp, and the person you are texting STOPS using signal app (or had used it in the past), your texts don't go through. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

  • polqat polqa✟ (@polqat) reported

    @KetanJ0 @signalapp please make a Twitter style service. I will pay a subscription

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

    @fuckyeah_c @signalapp Why? What problems do you have exactly?

  • PepeBorras Pepe Borrás (@PepeBorras) reported

    @sa0un @signalapp The incredible shrinking encrypted instant messaging service.

  • ntiuw Cingcing (@ntiuw) reported

    @signalapp hi Signal, i've been experiencing trouble where there are no new message notifications when someone sent me messages and the messages only appear when I open the chat room, how to fix this? thx

  • cIndraneel Indraneel Chitale (@cIndraneel) reported

    @signalapp issue is still not resolved on both my phones. Latest logs have been mailed to your support. Kindly advice further.

  • YellowPadawan MRS A #LeniKiko2022 #TRoPa2022 (@YellowPadawan) reported

    @signalapp hi, actually I have an issue with notifications when new message arrive on Pixel 6 Pro (Android 12), i'm not receiving them, is it a known issue now?

  • AmandaMugford1 Amanda Mugford 〓〓 (@AmandaMugford1) reported

    @JimBinary @signalapp I've not experienced that problem, so don't really know how to help. Settings? Notifications?

  • SamMerchant9 Sam Merchant (@SamMerchant9) reported

    @signalapp Just had to delete and reinstall Signal after it crashed. Lost all my data/pictures/videos. Painful! Never had this problem with WhatsApp.

  • BionicBeauty BionicB 🇺🇲 (@BionicBeauty) reported

    @starvingsteve @startpage @signalapp Well duh. I assumed people have the brains to pick a good VPN service. Thanks for the drop in. And whatever.

  • Suhailrashid235 Rashid (@Suhailrashid235) reported

    @signalapp i need help

  • Warncke_ Jonathan (@Warncke_) reported

    With how often I’ve installed @signalapp “reduce app size by 25%” update now, it should be down to 2MB

  • sDefrees Sam DeF (@sDefrees) reported

    The King of Saudi Arabia hacked Jeff Bezos' **** picks & ppl seriously think running @signalapp or opening LN channels or any one product will solve the problem of state sponsored hacking, spying, defamation, & surveillance. We're not safe. We're not secure. We're not private.

  • adacable Ada (@adacable) reported

    @signalapp "oh **** I pasted PII into the main 300 person organising chat" is a real and easy to circumvent problem.

  • JimBinary Jimmy the market (@JimBinary) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Strange. It's my friend it's not working for. Tried reinstalling and updating but still not sending messages?

  • harimandhanjal Hariman Dhanjal (@harimandhanjal) reported

  • Nikola_Truth Nikola Tesla’s Ghost 👻 (@Nikola_Truth) reported

    @TeslaHype @signalapp Fair enough, but I doubt Elon would have a problem with any of these things.

  • cIndraneel Indraneel Chitale (@cIndraneel) reported

    @signalapp has been crashing for last 24 hours. Anyone else facing this problem?

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

    @JimBinary @signalapp This is very bad. Because there are absolutely no known problems.
