    @indutny @signalapp >>"If you are on version 5.35.0 or 5.36.0 - this is unfortunately expected." yeah...that was the problem!

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @RihoKroll @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. Are you running 5.35.0 version of the Desktop app? If yes - this banner is unfortunately expected. I’d appreciate it if you could download the installer from the website and install over your existing app without uninstalling it. Sorry for trouble!

    @signalapp i use signal on android for SMS My wife used signal and reverted back to imessage for Iphone. Everyone on earth gets my sms except her... whats the issue?

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @TheRealRarog @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. If you install over the existing app without uninstalling it - the data will be preserved. Sorry for the trouble!

  • bastianventhur Bastian Venthur (@bastianventhur) reported

    Using bots that automatically close "stale" issues or bug reports in your project is borderline disrespectful to your contributors. Either make a conscious decision to close the issue manually or leave it open so someone may come up with more info. I'm looking a t you @signalapp

  • otokoshiro OtokoShiro (@otokoshiro) reported

    Hey @signalapp I read there could be a URI spoofing flaw. What are you doing to fix it?

  • 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.

  • crypto_alakazam crypto_alakazam (@crypto_alakazam) reported

    @NikoJilch To disunite Europeans 🇺🇦🤡💉 @signalapp is an alternative (private) messaging service to #WhatsApp🤮. But it is not a panacea for communication either. After all, it's a company.

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

    @MichaelMcandJC @signalapp You can't create a normal #Signal group? Any Errors?

  • jp_carlson Jacob Carlson (@jp_carlson) reported

    @signalapp @RaminA1A Hi, same issue here in Android. Don't want to delete my message history. Thanks!

  • BashCo_ BashCo (@BashCo_) reported

    @Andrei08888888 @signalapp That doesn't address the issue I'm describing. Phone numbers are antiquated and overdue for innovation. You should be able to use a deterministic number (hash) for every new contact. Like a bitcoin wallet, but for phone numbers instead of addresses.

  • borolopezphoto Bᴏʀᴏ Lᴏᴘᴇᴢ (@borolopezphoto) reported

    @moxie @signalapp It’s 2 of April. Where’s the new CEO? What about the new features and fixes for old bugs? Please do not forget about the users. Some Android devices still having problems with wake notifications even after blocking battery optimisations. #WEB3 is jmportant but maintenance is more

  • dorota0989 Dorota (@dorota0989) reported

    @signalapp i’ve recently noticed that I can’t reply to messages ride from the notification/action sander in Windows 10 and 11, using Signal desktop could you please fix this? It would be easier to reply from a notification center in windows, thank you.

  • dorota0989 Dorota (@dorota0989) reported

    @signalapp Could you please fix one bag of that I’ve reported to you many times? Voice messages disappear after 6 days, I can’t play them, they seem to be there, but I can’t play them, always after si6 days after receiving or sending them. Thank you.

    @signalapp my account is not working need support.

  • loisroseanne_ Lois (@loisroseanne_) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp my issue is I don't want to block them indefinitely. Will they still disappear from my contact list if I block and then unblock them?

  • cho0b my name is driftwood (@cho0b) reported

    @0xdade @signalapp I didn't have any issues as far as I can tell. 🤔

    10/ Use encrypted messaging apps 💬 Use a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging service. End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your intended recipient can view messages. Use #iMessage and @signalapp

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @Psychocrysma @signalapp Hello! Signal Desktop developer here. Sorry about the issue. The best way to fix it is to download the latest installer from the website and install over without uninstalling. Please let me know if you will run into anything!

  • theKeynode K e n Y o d e #vintagegod (@theKeynode) reported

    Hi @signalapp, I'm unable to receive verification codes via my mobile number, contacted my network provider and no help from that side as well. Are there other ways users could receive verification codes asides via SMS or calls? What about emails, etc? I've been locked out!!
