Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • phry Lenz Weber-Tronic (@phry) reported

    @signalapp I get the base idea of "in the future, every message sent or received will be secure". It just doesn't help if the app is used less. It's a step backward, and not user-friendly.

  • VictorBinzar Victor Bînzar (@VictorBinzar) reported

    @DarkDotFail @signalapp Why's Telegram security terrible?

  • Dig_A_Hash_Kid Dig-A-Hash Kid (@Dig_A_Hash_Kid) reported

    @giraffapontifex @signalapp Totally agreed, terrible move. NI had a hard enough time trying to get ANYONE to use Signal. Now, forget it.

  • samisin ઽɱдгӄυȿ (@samisin) reported

    .@signalapp Is there a reason when posting a recorded video and posting it as a story, the audio is not working. Just starting to use this feature and see how it works out.

  • LVad3r Vader (@LVad3r) reported

    @signalapp Your app is reminding me it's usefulness is getting ready to tank. I'm not sure how you came to the decision that removing SMS support was smart but it was terrible. My Signal usage will drop a ton as majority are not using it. TextSecure and Redphone are truly dead

  • PlanetJunkie Ali Alshamsi (GOALS IN PINNED) (@PlanetJunkie) reported

    Am I the only one who has a problem with @signalapp where it doesn't want to send longer videos??

    @signalapp Hi i want to work with signal, come to inbox or give me a platform where i can reach you, i will help signal to promote on a vast level. Hi i am from Pakistan and i want to launch a campaign for promoting Signal and especially your feature of sending money,

  • clem Clément Delmas (@clem) reported

    Hey @signalapp 👋 I want to migrate from my old phone to my new one… But the old’s camera is broken and I can’t scan the QR code. What can I do to keep my data? Thanks a lot 🙏

  • mtcerio Matteo Ceriotti (@mtcerio) reported

    @signalapp This action is very counter-intuitive. On 99% of other apps, pull down = refresh. Can we have the option to disable this?

  • acidholograms Antisocialite (@acidholograms) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith locked out of signal, keeps saying verification code is wrong when it's correct. can you help?

  • nadim6240 n a d i m (@nadim6240) reported

    Hey @signalapp I have been trying to register for 3days. It's always showing "too many attempts,try again later". My phone comes with pre installed Google Play Services. Please help.

  • Bendy50354131 Bendy (@Bendy50354131) reported

    @HardCoreAds @signalapp @Impact_Protocol Huh? Where's info about that defi free money glitch people are{ using??????'- "

  • airwolf85 Wilf K 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 (@airwolf85) reported

    @signalapp 1/2 I need to voice my opinion here. I've just noticed that you've now turned off support for SMS (as promised). This is a terrible move! Like most users; we have a majority of contacts that are quite content to use their stock messaging app...

  • 1Hauck 🙏 Martin Hauck (@1Hauck) reported

    @ka11away @signalapp When you pull down on the main screen with all your convos, it hides everything except your unread chats.

  • KPatrickWV mountainstoic (@KPatrickWV) reported

    @signalapp Please do not get rid of SMS support. Removing that will basically make the utility of Signal non-existent. I will likely migrate to a different service, having been a user since Red Phones and Text Secure days.

  • Dig_A_Hash_Kid Dig-A-Hash Kid (@Dig_A_Hash_Kid) reported

    @giraffapontifex @signalapp Agree, what a terrible move. Wake up @signal Pay attention to your community!

  • PatLongNumber Pat (@PatLongNumber) reported

    @signalapp Android apps should feel familiar, you pull down to resresh the data, not to access hidden features. SMH

  • kayteekay1221 Kate (@kayteekay1221) reported

    Hey @signalapp what’s going on with the app?? I’m not getting message alerts until I open the app? I have clients messaging me and not seeing them for 2 days because I never get notified. I also know I am not the only person having this issue. What’s the deal?

    @martelkorno @signalapp Yep, a good app for years, but will probably get deleted with this last terrible decision.

  • swipes_wesley laser animals with jackets (@swipes_wesley) reported

    @signalapp The connection since last update is buggy to say the least. Do more people have this problem. Or is it just me

  • michaelkhensley michaelkhensley (@michaelkhensley) reported

    @signalapp You're trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem. I need all my messages to be in one app. So long Signal.

  • DarkDotFail dark.fail (@DarkDotFail) reported

    PSA: Signal desktop cannot save backups. Still. If you wipe your phone you can retain access to your account on desktop, but you will never be able to transfer it to another phone. Telegram's security is terrible but gets device management UX right. Fix this already @signalapp

  • iamvah Vahritch Kharian (@iamvah) reported

    @signalapp Hey! Why my past conversations are not loading when I'm linking a new device? I always miss my past conversation on the new device linked. Any way to unblock / fix this please?

  • infination Infination Technology (@infination) reported

    @cybermaventech @Yubico yeah WTF @signalapp you were handy, now your desktop at-rest is bothering me. do me a favor, let me know if you fix your at-rest issues. now I send ******* emails more again.

    Hi @signalapp "A button is needed to go to the quoted message when replying. The problem of not being able to play voice notes sent as a reply still persists if VoiceOver is enabled.
