  • madamelula Annika (@madamelula) reported

    @signalapp hi! It is really impossible to use the application lately, it is very slow, it hangs and closes by itself or it does not respond, is it a general problem?

  • Adrenaline_Coin Verde Go (@Adrenaline_Coin) reported

  • amina__acid @amina__acid (@amina__acid) reported

    begging @signalapp to implement a more accessible way to record voice notes - some of us are disabled and can't reliably hold down a button for like 5 mins straight! just have the user hold for 3s to start recording then tap to end or whatever idc

  • manj_ari Manjari (@manj_ari) reported

    @signalapp You are the only hope for me please please do something and fix my problem 🙏

  • pixincreate PiX (@pixincreate) reported

    @signalapp is good for texting but it's totally unreliable for video/audio calls. Even a stable internet connection cannot provide proper video quality(not even 144p, everything's blurred out!) or whatsoever. Audio latency is nearly 1 sec. Would you ever care to fix it?

  • DamselflyPhotos Damselfly - Free Photo library software 📷 (@DamselflyPhotos) reported

    Why is the crop on @signalapp so annoying? I drag to the shape I want it to be, and it keeps springing back. Takes about 5 attempts at different crops before it actually sticks. WTAF? Terrible UX. Fix it, please, Signal peeps!

  • netpoette Annette Gartland (@netpoette) reported

    @signalapp I was using Signal but the restore function's failed so I'm unable to retrieve my account. I've lost all my chat! I transferred the back up to my new phone but the .bin file extension is causing problems. I can't access the backup & Signal is no longer available on my old phone!

  • tjchawla Tanuj Chawla (@tjchawla) reported

    @SyedBurhanuldin @signalapp I tried to give up but unfortunately had to keep there for work and finding homes in cities I travel to. Have you settled down somewhere?

  • czerwinska_e Ewa Czerwinska (@czerwinska_e) reported

    @signalapp for weeks messages are arriving late now. Time stamps are accurate, but notifications don't pop up right away or messages don't appear even when checking the chat. Any issues on your end?

    @brokencypher_ @signalapp For what reason? Because with others app I don’t have that problem🤔

  • PCytabom promace cytabom (@PCytabom) reported

    @signalapp I am looking for a way to estabish a bridge from Signal to Element/Matrix. Is there any help you can give me?

  • gt2andy GT2Andy (@gt2andy) reported

    @signalapp For weeks now your app has been nudging me to enter my pin to help me not to forget. I don't want to, it's like a needy child asking for attention. It seems to want this every week. Is there a way to invoke "adult mode" please?

  • surly_nz JBW JBW JBW (@surly_nz) reported

    @signalapp hey why is it when I open the app on a device that hasn’t used signal in two weeks, it won’t function until it’s shown me every message since then, even though the messages are set to disappear after 24 hours? Seems like a major security/ privacy issue

  • manj_ari Manjari (@manj_ari) reported

    @signalapp I am madly trying to contact you from last month but not get any helpful way to get my massages back. Please help me. Please don't disappoint me ....I beg you again and again. Do something for me. You can give me a new life. Please 🙏 🙏

  • joshjob42 Josh Job 🌐🥑🔰🇺🇦 (@joshjob42) reported

    @signalapp That’s super cool and all, but iOS users still lose all their messages if they lose their phone, which means I can’t recommend Signal to any iOS user. Maybe fix that somehow (like allowing iVloud backup of messages after a big disclaimer)?

  • TheAdamAngel Adam Angel (@TheAdamAngel) reported

    @signalapp Push notifications are having problems. Messages are only marked as "sent" and not "delivered" until the recipient opens the Signal app on their phone. Happening with multiple contacts

  • chadwell23 Jake (@chadwell23) reported

    @signalapp my contacts who used to have signal and don't use it anymore don't receive my messages. How can I fix or reset this?

  • RashaB92 Rasha 👾 (@RashaB92) reported

    @alpineiscalm @signalapp No family and friends use whatsapp and i like it. I honestly dont care if they store data or not, it's not an issue for me, maybe for you but not for me. Also twitter is a free platform

  • J1a9m8e3s James (@J1a9m8e3s) reported

    @signalapp don’t know if this is others are experiencing this annoying problem but I get a new message open the app and I always have to scroll to the new message at the bottom of the screen or tap the arrow button 🔽 to scroll down for you. Can this be sorted please #annoying

  • aWkquariangirl Rakshita Philip | Pink haired pfp **** 🧚🏼‍♀️✨ (@aWkquariangirl) reported

    @niketratta @session_app @signalapp I think people trade privacy and data protection for ease of use and popularity very happily , would only come with mass adoption. Chicken and egg problem isn’t it , guess that’s where good marketing + advertising comes to play.

  • alpineiscalm Alpine (@alpineiscalm) reported

    @RashaB92 As the saying goes, when service is free, you are the product. There are other parallel socially responsible service like @signalapp which doesn't store data on cloud, but on device.

  • manj_ari Manjari (@manj_ari) reported

    @signalapp I have tried to contact to your team but did not get any way to get my massages back.....so that's why I'm asking again will you help me to find my massages back.??

  • LilNonfungible Xanny.eth + Percocet.eth (0358.eth) (@LilNonfungible) reported

    Hey @signalapp notifications on Android via Play Services are broken for me. Tried all troubleshooting steps. Data saver off, Signal excluded from battery optimization, etc. On latest beta build.
