Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • fullfrankchan Frank “Dot Matrix” Lee💎 (@fullfrankchan) reported

    @ImNotMandie @SarahdragonGirl Simple enough to have an end-to-end encrypted feed for each parent. That's more or less what @signalapp does for their video chat service, and it works great. The bandwidth used is problematic of course, which would likely require a peer to peer solution to be cheap.

  • Chast89 Chastrya Dendang (@Chast89) reported from Cibedug Hilir, Jawa Barat

    @signalapp still having issue with the sound in video call. My voice can’t be heard on the other side… Anyone having the same problem?

  • mahamudul651 Mahamudul Hasan (@mahamudul651) reported

    @signalapp Signal app slow down Phone in Group Conversation. Sometimes its hang phone. Its too slow to delivered message. Signal consumption a lot of data for sending messages. It always crushed in my phone "Unfortunately Signal has stopped". There are no Last Seen option. Please, resolve.

  • piyush_soni Piyush Soni (@piyush_soni) reported

    If you're using @signalapp , be forewarned that first, the chats are not automatically backed up to any cloud storage (most know that part already), but also that even if you take care of that, restoring from backup might not work without any error message (it can silently fail).

  • fullfrankchan Frank “Dot Matrix” Lee💎 (@fullfrankchan) reported

    @ImNotMandie @SarahdragonGirl @signalapp My point is, there are solutions to all of these issues, the tech has been ready for years. The problem is that the schools are incompetent and can't implement a system that works. That goes for tech, and education, and everything else they do.

  • n_loboda Nikolay Loboda (@n_loboda) reported

    @JSilverhack @rootkovska @signalapp May be the correct solution is investigate why, and fix it?

  • CallManana Call Me Mañana (@CallManana) reported

    @BloodPawWolf Yeah and that's extremely troublesome. Amazon recently bought Wickr to use their messaging service among employees. They were really pursuing @signalapp, but thankfully those talks broke down quick or never happened.

  • an_anymos An Anymos (@an_anymos) reported

    @signalapp Why don't I have the fingerprint unlock option on my phone, but my husband has it on his phone? The app on my phone is updated so that's not an issue. Help?

  • Mrhow7x Sundeep (@Mrhow7x) reported

    @signalapp my signal video calls are shown upside down to the receiver .. any idea how to fix this?

  • noalias noalias (@noalias) reported

    @signalapp you have issues with captcha when users want to re-register their account on old devices now the users cant use signal at all

  • noalias noalias (@noalias) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp your customer support is very poor no respond or help given

  • sainadhTweets సాయి (@sainadhTweets) reported

    Hy @signalapp, can you please improve push notifications service in your platform, many times notification gets delayed and sometimes won't come at all. reinstalling app didn't help. #signalApp

  • that_leaflet Leaflet (@that_leaflet) reported

    @FarshidHakimy @xdadevelopers @signalapp I just hope they fix some of the jank of the app. I would constantly have an issue when sharing where tapping on a contact/group would (visually only) change who I tapped. Also didn't receive some messages, don't know what was up with that.

  • BarryHornblower Barry Hornblower 🌈 (@BarryHornblower) reported

    @signalapp you really need to help me out because there is one flaw in your offering and it's a genuine problem for me. I use a 32 bit Chromebook. It can run android apps and Linux but neither are compatible and you don't have an alternative progressive web app or web interface.

  • akhmxt kalim (@akhmxt) reported

    There’s a really annoying bug on signal that’s been bothering me for over a week now. Is there any developer to whom I can flag the issue? @signalapp

  • laurenceb Laurence Berland (@laurenceb) reported

    I wonder if @united will count @signalapp as a messaging service when they roll out free messaging in flight. Always strange to see it missing from these things-but maybe it's because it's not for profit?

  • toughnutt67 Toughnutt19 (@toughnutt67) reported

    @signalapp hello my friends phone has been stolen with malicious intent of blackmail ,her signal app contained explicit photos of her. Can you please help delete the app or disable it remotely from your end ? I will provide you the number and device and any info you need .

  • LambdaZero2 Lambda-Zero | she/her, they/them (@LambdaZero2) reported

    Chat / IM: * @signalapp : Encrypted IM, kinda like Whatsapp, better imo * @matrixdotorg : Has it's issues, but is decent. Feels like a mix of IRC and Discord imo * @session_app : Onion routed and encrypted IM. A bit slower than Signal but not too bad

  • iansltx Ian Littman (@iansltx) reported from Austin, Texas

    @jesslynnrose @JplusCplusM @signalapp Sure. If I then prove that I've done so by reading well past the abstract on a few studies (not asking which because I figure you want me to do the research myself), mind checking over the req I filled recently so I can understand what's wrong with it? No problem if not.

  • rchrdbyd Richard H. Boyd (@rchrdbyd) reported

    @signalapp Everybody who tweets "I'll help you break into tech, just DM me." and also taking part in this nonsense might be better served by logging off for the weekend to think about how much you really want to help newcomers.

  • BlitzKrieg2552 Brandon W (@BlitzKrieg2552) reported

    @signalapp when are you going to fix your app on iOS? I haven’t been able to access it for over a week now.

  • DickWhitman_BTC Ricardo “****” Whitman (34) — 🌍 / 21M (@DickWhitman_BTC) reported

    @mflaxman @signalapp Had they just adopted hard money, bitcoiners would be happy to help

  • Naveen_BSJ Naveen Choudhary (@Naveen_BSJ) reported

    hello @Vivo_India @signalapp not working in my vivo mobile please fix the issue as soon as possible. thank you

  • greenbrain18 Green Brain (@greenbrain18) reported

    @signalapp Is there any outage, I am not able to send msg since morning. #signalapp #outage location: Mumbai, India.

  • DontTraceMeBruh ᴜɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴀʙʟᴇ (@DontTraceMeBruh) reported

    And I still don't know which messaging service besides @signalapp to turn to 😩 Contacts are spread, no consensus

  • iansltx Ian Littman (@iansltx) reported from Austin, Texas

    @jesslynnrose @JplusCplusM @signalapp As mentioned further down-theead, I wouldn't write this req. That's in part for the reasons you mention.

  • SoSayTheLipless Al (@SoSayTheLipless) reported

    @signalapp I'm trying to make people switch but everyone I've gotten to switch has had major tech issues. Today none of my sisters sms group chat messages are successfully downloading

  • clif0819 Clif (@clif0819) reported from Vernon Hills, Illinois

    Hey @signalapp I switched iOS devices and didn’t I register my number before erasing the old phone. Now my new phone won’t send messages. Help?!?

  • doggoli Doggoli (@doggoli) reported

    @signalapp For the love of god fix your ******* garbage desktop application or at least enable people to use alternative clients without needing to perform blood rituals to get them working.

  • 2ndAmend1791 αιявσяηє νєтєяαη™ 🦅 (@2ndAmend1791) reported

    .@signalapp - re: Stopped getting notifications on iPhone I was getting notifications when phone was locked and/or app was closed -- this stopped recently, but I did not change notification settings on the phone or app. Is this a reported issue?
