Pramod Raghunath (@pramodraghunath) reported@signalapp Thanks the prompt updates 👍 I reported another issue yday via support channels amidst the outage - not only did some msgs, but also contacts and groups vanished as well. Hope the app update would resolve this as well.
-
ju (@watching_ju) reported@utzer @gaurav_ksinha @signalapp This online-status is also a big privacy issue, I guess WA and others are using it for tracking, as the app is constantly sending messages to their servers including additional infos (like IP).
-
stefano biefeni (@sbiefeni) reported@elonmusk @signalapp Help Signal. That would make a difference..
-
Marcus Tesch (@Healing_Cross) reportedPart of the problem with alternative messengers might be explained with this phenomenon. Sending a message to your friends with #WhatsApp: "Hey, dude, I just want to inform you: I sent you a message with @signalapp or @ThreemaApp rsp. Won't you answer me?
-
Ananth Composes (@ananth) reportedI'm not getting any replies in my signal chats? Is it due to @signalapp outage or simply people are avoiding me 🤔
-
🇲🇦🇷🇹🇮🇳 (@CphD) reported@AnirbanRoyy @signalapp they're all there, but maybe not in the form you think.. try having a closer look at the settings, and use the help available via links in the app
-
Tobias M. (@T0BIAS_M) reported@signalapp Hey @signalapp I love what you’re doing!But ... One of my android-contacts has severe problems: Yesterday only my messages came through. Messages from other parties were not received - neither in group nor personal chats. Is that a side effect of your server problems?
-
🇲🇦🇷🇹🇮🇳 (@CphD) reported@iaryan_m @signalapp If you by chats mean signal messages, they're are stored on your device, encrypted. If you setup backup, you get a code. Only the code can unlock the stored backup. If you lose it, you lose the backup and none can help you.

Mydomain (@Mydomain188) reported@signalapp Why not signal. app if you need I can help you get it.
-
Smartcat (@Smartcat168) reported@dicedbrain @anthowen03 @signalapp Very positive answer. But right from the start the are millions of users with expectation and the financial pressure on Signal is tremendous. Unlike Linux, it is limited to very small groups and any flaw in the o/s is the users own problem.

Prashant Sharma🇮🇳 (@sharmapacific) reported@signalapp Voice calling is not working
-
Urja SGGSCC (@Urja_Sggscc) reportedFirst an Ad in newspapers then extending the deadline to May 15 and now putting up status, is @WhatsApp in trouble? Meanwhile @signalapp and @telegram have surpassed 500 million active user base! #WhatsappStatus #PrivacyPolicy
-
WAYNE (@WAYNE_IZ_BATMAN) reported@signalapp after reinstalling the signal app i am not getting notifications. I have to open the app everytime to check new messages. Help!
-
Monique TS (@moniqueschulz) reported@signalapp is down
-
Karanbir Singh (@kbsingh) reported@jeremyeder @IanColdwater @signalapp Been trying to dig up some info on the service infra, not a lot of detail available. Very much look forward to a wash down...
-
PawGod🐾 (@VetiNazreehlDr) reported@ScottAthey1 @signalapp But I don’t have any problem like that
-
K. Braun (@MrKeyXY) reported@signalapp During outage I sent my friend a msg. It could be sent (1 tick) but it didn't reach him. Today I sent a msg again. It arrived immediately & was read (2 filled ticks). Unfortunately, status of first msg is unchanged. Is there anything I can do to repeat transmission?
-
Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported@signalapp Uninstalling, cleaning remnant files and reinstalling the app have just helped in rectifying the issue.
-
bonbonparteh (@bonbonparteh) reported@signalapp A major problem I’ve been experiencing for some time now is that when I call someone via Signal their phone doesn’t ring. When they open a Signal they only get a missed call notification even though I’m still trying to call them.

Sriganesh Raman (@sriganeshr) reported from Chennai, Tamil Nadu@TinaGurnaney as #hikemessenger closes down, I'm thinking about your question as to why it lost? It had so many features. @signalapp which probably is very basic is winning. Why? @kavinbm #messaging
-
Steven Nguyen (@STEVEN5579) reported@signalapp Mankind needs an effective solution to protect users information and data. No advertising, no back door. We are willing to contribute and/or to pay for such kind of service. I think Signal should provide a paid service to let us use with responsibility. Thank you.
-
Gabriel Sassoon (@GabrielSassoon) reported@signalapp where’s your bug reporting system? Invite friends on iOS is broken; I try invite a friend from one country (including the + symbol) but Signal removes their country code and replaces it with my home country code. I’ve got a few bugs like this, and feature suggestions!
-
Richy Logitech (@RichyLogitech) reported@signalapp This is your time, fix it faster please. And make it accessible to all countries not just chosen ones.
-
ziyad (@ZAMA_84) reported@signalapp Had to go back .... you have been down for too long. How can we depend on your service to be up and running all the time!?
-
Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported@signalapp Uninstalling, cleaning remnant files and reinstalling the app have just helped me in rectifying the issue. However, not everyone knows that this works. Kindly include this amongst the troubleshooting options.
-
🇲🇦🇷🇹🇮🇳 (@CphD) reported@AnirbanRoyy @signalapp Check on the first one, I agree an "immediate" option would be ideal. Never missed it in praxis myself, though. The second one, I don't understand, why is it a problem that you can do it with other apps as long as it is not possible with Signal? maybe photo to explain?
-
_b_boris (@bihireboris) reported@ValdasVaitiekus @MasterGuantai @signalapp same 😓, thought when scaling issues are done I do think the app needs some refining
-
David 🎲 (@vantex24) reported@signalapp Still got issues, some groups I can't see posts but can post to but others cannot see Nor can some messages get received to some contacts, while others are getting messages fine very weird
