  • appleheartsyou Junavi Hayes (@appleheartsyou) reported

    @signalapp My sister in the Philippines was not able to activate her signal app. There is still no verification code to her. Do you still have issues with android user? She is using Samsung Note 7. Her husband was successfully downloaded it and he is using iphone7.

  • tczmard Marek Dominikowski (@tczmard) reported

    @signalapp Hey. I don't know if anyone has already reported it .... probably yes. My friends and I have big problems sending files (photos and videos). Uploading the file can take several minutes. I noticed the problem on both IOS and Android. Not always .... but often.

  • kendinceliyek kendinceliyek (@kendinceliyek) reported

    @CaseyNewton @platformer Just some thoughts... 1) Would decreasing the group size limits might help to prevent possible illegal gatherings? 2) @signalapp may have slightly different policies for chat groups.

  • Sb43308 Sb (@Sb43308) reported

    @lorenzov___ @signalapp First hold on the person name or phone number after that block option will appear then click on it.I think this can solve your problem☺☺

  • Anilloutombam Anil Loutombam (@Anilloutombam) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I have tried all the troubleshooting, issue persist still

  • accountant_28 Sanchit Kumar (@accountant_28) reported

    @signalapp you want everyone to shift but then your app doesn't work half the time. How about fixing the issues first?

  • alterhodl Peter Toshi 🐝 🟠 #FF9900 (@alterhodl) reported

    @signalapp It would definitely help the process of getting my contacts to migrate, if you had a web hosted version of the platform available. Many of my contacts dont want to install your desktop app (it defeats the purpose of privacy).

  • iquidus Luke Williams 🥷 (@iquidus) reported

    @q9fmz @signalapp @telegram yeah you would normally get a code sent to you, via an active login session. required to connect new one. However, I'm aware of instances where this has somehow been bypassed, but not sure how. Perhaps somehow killing all sessions remotely forcing it to be sent vis sms instead.

  • me_Noope Eko Novianto (@me_Noope) reported

    @signalapp samsung a51 not working to voice call and video call and often not responding when open the apps....please fix it...

  • christopherw Chris Woods (@christopherw) reported

    @signalapp when trying to modify the name of a group I'm an admin for, when I submit the button turns into a blue circle with the animated working border, then after a few seconds I see a "problem setting profile" error message. What's the cause?

  • iquidus Luke Williams 🥷 (@iquidus) reported

    @q9fmz @signalapp @telegram Both are number bound, potentially a simswap-like scenario? Number ported elsewhere, access gained, existing login sessions killed. The issue here is you would receive the telegram verification via an active session if there were one (not via sms/signal). So not sure.

  • Kaushik7978 Kaushik Sen (@Kaushik7978) reported

    @signalapp plz ensure the file sharing take less mb to recieve and deliver, be it video,audio or images(having more mbs).This will help signal a more reasonable over its counterparts.🤭

  • anun688 Anu (@anun688) reported

    @signalapp The main issue is we do have signal but major contacts is missing from contact list

  • allaboutthe561 Sebastian B (@allaboutthe561) reported

    @signalapp @miraclemile11 I deleted whatsapp as soon i found about signal, but I've had back luck so far, maybe u can help. Notifications are all on, but i don't receive messages until i open the app. Its frustrating

  • 7chmode 🇯🇵7chmode🇯🇵 (@7chmode) reported

    @signalapp Hey Signal. Hurry up and get away from amazon. They're shutting us down.

  • Sebasti27394170 Sebastian Campbell (@Sebasti27394170) reported

    @signalapp Messages are often not delivered to Samsung Note 8 until the app is opened. All troubleshooting from the Signal website has not resolved the issue. It has been an issue for a long time.

    @signalapp I am not able to use/unlock Signal on my iPhone 6s (?) anymore since two or three days as now Signal only lets me unlock via Touch ID. But my Touch ID stopped working long time ago. Kindly reactivate to login via passcode. Thank you 🙏
