-
Jules (@JulesLecuir) reported@signalapp Thanks for your efforts guys! However it is still not working for me. I want to send messages in a group chat but it's been 10min since I hit the Send button, and Signal hasn't sent it :/
-
𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲 (@fat__tire) reported@honkFl @signalapp I'm not taking about content, that's encrypted. I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us legal requirement for back doors, a sustained ddos.. federation.
-
CY (@Addicted_2_Love) reported@signalapp Hi, my messages can send but the person gets them hours later. I've tried uninstalling n reinstalling but still the same issue. I can't even make calls
-
Sean O'Brien (@seanodiggity) reported@FoxCahn this really is a terrible "feature" to ping all your contacts when you install @signalapp. I realize they're doing it to build their user base, but that makes it less of an excuse, not more of one.
-
Julián Cortés (@__pity_) reported@ducheng0 @signalapp I think @session_app is better. It's anonymous and private. The problem is the same: users.
-
MyanmarMediaWatcher (@MyanMediaWatch) reported@kln_nurv @MayWongCNA @signalapp My signal was also down today, but now it is working as normal
-
it is what it is. (@typo_factory) reported@signalapp Was still having issues last night
-
CW Ip (@ar_wang) reported@signalapp There are messages delay in Hong Kong. Please kindly fix
-
Farrith™ (@Farrith) reported@signalapp please help me, why i cant delete the conversation? once i select delete the apps keep hanging there..
-
Arminder Dahul (@ArminderDahul) reported@signalapp notifications under iOS 15 are still broken. It’s becoming really frustrating. The latest update didn’t work at all. Considering going back to … 🤢 WhatsApp. I can’t believe I said that.

I'm taking about say a Texas-style anyone-can-sue signal law, a anti-Signal justice department official or supreme court justice that wants to take it down, a us law making signal difficult to run, a sustained ddos.. federation
-
evok3d (@ev0k3d) reported@session_app @dankslimshady @signalapp You are an Australian company, a country with terrible privacy policies and backdoor requirements for encryption protocols. If you care about privacy you would consider moving your operations to Switzerland or somewhere else.
-
Zack Shure (@thesystem) reported@signalapp hey, your notifications on iOS 15 is still broken, also after the last update. That’s really annoying.
-
Evgeni Golov (@zhenech) reportedIs @signalapp down again, or is it me?
-
Léon Aronofr 🇫🇷Ⓥ (@LevAronofsky) reported@signalapp update : usually when there are problems, I get a notification in *red*, "not sent". Today, nothing. But now I'll now : One check mark : sent to Signal's central servers. (that's what I had). Two check marks : received by the person's device. (I didn't have the second one)
-
Sebastian-Mihai Cergă (@CergaMihai) reported@soumyacpl @signalapp That's implicit in my case. NON SMS messages were not working in already established groups.
-
h3pl (@h3pl5) reported@Soft_Bred @session_app @signalapp Telegram is spookier than WhatsApp. But keep using a half-proprietary, hardly encrypted "service" that pulls people in by the premise of privacy and anonymity on the basis of it's claims. Even it's E2EE chats use an experimental encryption protocol.
-
honK (@honkFl) reported@wan5hang4 @signalapp odd. I've been using the app for more than 2 years and I can remember 2 outages that lasted longer than maybe a minute. The service was very reliable for me so far.
-
M T (@Marctraider) reported@Snowden @signalapp @Facebook Signal is overrated, and as shown by this global outage its just another unsafe cloud based solution. We need to go back to p2p and self hosted alternatives. (Matrix maybe?)
-
Shanti Elizabeth (@Blur512) reported@signalapp $DATS never went down 🚀🚀🚀
-
Kai Mast (@cskama) reported@basierterFlo @signalapp From their tweet it sound like there was a single outage that took the whole service down. I don't remember the last time Whatsapp was down for this long (~6hrs), but obviously outages can still happen in a replicated setting due to networks partitions etc.
-
Remco Boere (@RejBoere) reported@signalapp Well app is down again.
-
Ryan (@rotten_ry) reported@signalapp It’s still not working.
-
Hes Heating Up (@Hes_Heating_Up) reported@MikeCoxCowes @signalapp I've been using this for a few years and honestly this is the first hiccup I've seen that affected service, maybe I've been lucky, but I'm a daily user. I'm fact I was responding to a message when I got this notification...
-
M.M.S ☀️ (@UmAnas1) reported@signalapp We still gave trouble with th app. many messages stocked and the syncing stopped !!!!! Until now
-
Gajpal Jeslan (@gajapal) reportedSignal app not working @signalapp
-
Church of Baseball ⚾ (@churchofbasebal) reported@signalapp's updated crop tool is unusable because if you try to crop from the bottom, it changes the angle of the pic. Really, really terrible.
-
Jonas Grønås Drange (@semafor) reported@basierterFlo @cskama @signalapp The point was, it’s okay to have down time, but signal needs to tell its users what happened and how they’re fixing it in order to establish trust.
-
Alastair Pitts (@aperebus) reported2. @signalapp also has backups and restore, but you cannot restore your chat history between operating systems. Which is ******* terrible because you completely lose your chat history. Family group that has kids photo's and stuff? Gone. Messages to friends about stuff? Gone.
-
𝕎𝕒𝕟 ℍ𝕒𝕟𝕘 #Hongkonger (@wan5hang4) reported@signalapp Improve the services please. Signal is often down and causes lots of inconvenience to me and my friends. BECAUSE WE DON’T USE WHATSAPP TO CHAT WITH FRIENDS ANY LONGER and we trust you.
