— @SignalApp: After updating to version 5.19.0, Signal has lost all functionality on my iPhone SE. As a long time privacy-advocate who recently convinced two friends to start using Signal, I feel terribly embarrassed that I am now sending them SMS texts. Please #help!

@signalapp am i the only one having issues with sending messages? For a few days now messages very often don't get sent right away. Sometimes takes a few minutes for the message to go out (internet connection is fine). Signal Beta v5.23.1 on Android #Signal

@naomibrockwell @signalapp Would signal really help in this case? It's still a centralized walled garden subject to law enforcement. What prevent Signal to provide medata data such as user IP? Any centralized service is a liability.

Hey @signalapp, I'm currently in Egypt and trying to setup Signal on a new iPhone 12 iOS 14.7.1 and keep getting "Invalid response from service" when entering my number. Troubleshooting etc. didn't help, neither did a VPN. Any suggestions?

— Is anyone else experiencing problems with #Signal after updating to the latest version of @SignalApp on an iPhone? Sending messages no longer works, and my contacts are disappearing after messages fail to send. I restarted, deleted, and re-installed, but nothing seems to #help.

@propublica I hope the @signalapp team stays up at night pondering what they would do if their app replaces WhatsApp as the choice for organizers of genocide. Given FB's surveillance business model, though, it seems they have an obligation to prevent genocide? A wicked problem by definition.

@mneylon @markstanley @signalapp I think you're both correct. I think there's a spin going on in conjunction with somebody that has a terrible grasp of basic technology.

Too many issues … @signalapp is mainstream now, most know text messages aren’t private. It’s the “i phone” not what it is now. Everyone needs anti depression meds because we are depressed from a sick society which makes your experience of life suck, that’s why you’re depressed
