  • jskora696 Jakub Sýkora (@jskora696) reported

    Hey @signalapp , someone is trying to log in with my number, i'm getting texts with login code and a call afterwards every few hours or so. Can i do anything about it?

  • theanarcat anarcat (@theanarcat) reported

    one thing i'm worried about: before @signalapp was the first app in the google and apple stores, that place was taken by parler - who *are* those millions of users? can't help but think there's more than #whatsapp in there...

  • Athin52985589 Athin (@Athin52985589) reported

    @signalapp Signal video call is not up to mark with whatsapp. I can hear my voice echoing. Could yo please fix it.

  • MahamoudShaikh Mahamoud Shaikh (@MahamoudShaikh) reported from Al Farwānīyah, Muḩāfaz̧at al Farwānīyah

    @signalapp if the messages send from desktop version, I cannot see it in my mobile application please fix this as soon as possible.

  • mrdominax Mr Dominax (@mrdominax) reported

    @bajabanjo @Snowden @signalapp Do you know everything about the backend of every service you use? Get real.

  • wue_dan Daniel (@wue_dan) reported

    @signalapp My Mac Version is completely out of sync and Messages I type on the Mac are not showing in the iOS Version. I re-installed Mac version and scanned the QR code but synching is not working, I just get a blank Signal on MAC without my contacts :-(

  • Athin52985589 Athin (@Athin52985589) reported

    @signalapp Signal video call is not up to mark with whatsapp. I can hear my voice echoing. Could you please fix it.

  • LoneWol52659406 Lone Wolf (@LoneWol52659406) reported

    @xvlchgfq @blackdwarf97 @signalapp I give you options and I'm the troll? Haha wow you are a sink huh. Everything goes in your ear and down the hollow hole and then out. Retaining nothing. Makes sense.

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @raptorzghost @signalapp perhaps im not technically minded enough to understand this problem well enough but my guess would be this would be insecure.

  • TriTim Tim Burnett 💙 (@TriTim) reported

    @RMGirlUK @PrivaCat @signalapp If I moved to Signal, I'd lose all of the groups that I have one WhatsApp, as I'm never going to convince everyone else (and their groups, and so on). It's a matter of convenience/mkt share over risk. The problem is FB being sneaky by changing policy once they have market share.

  • AndyBarnham Andy Barnham (@AndyBarnham) reported

    @Antihippy fyi- there was a straw that broke the camel's back incident over the weekend and I've started to use @signalapp. When I login I see 2- 3 people, daily, appear. Seems to be a slow trickle of people coming onto it (thank goodness).

  • BarbossHack BarbossHack 🏴‍☠️ (@BarbossHack) reported

    @session_app @signalapp Where do you store, in your decentralised network, messages if group participants are offline ? I mean, if « John Doe » shut down his node, can we loose messages ? (Just asking)

  • kornelski kornel@mastodon.social (@kornelski) reported

    @najodleglejszy @signalapp Yes, indeed. At it creates a trap that a messaging app with perfect cryptography is still not sufficient to send messages securely. People who don't know that will get themselves in trouble.

  • ConDecepti DéceptiCon (@ConDecepti) reported

    Am I the only one having issues with landscape photos in @signalapp ? Just can't get them straight.

  • HonestCitizen1 مؤذن الخرابه (@HonestCitizen1) reported

    @JonyCButler @Snowden @signalapp .... I am sorry I didn't take your word for it. If you have no problem exposing your life to total strangers, use all the Facebook that you want. Then again, there are people who have no problem posting their **** pictures publicly for free. To each his own I guess

  • indiandreamjob Jobs In India (@indiandreamjob) reported

    @signalapp Me and my friend is trying to newly signup on Signal app. But not receiving the OTP. What's the problem? Any problem with servers? Plz correct it.

  • CodeBird Hicham Mallah (@CodeBird) reported

    @signalapp I am sending messages alright but I can't receive. I tried resetting secure session in some conversations, it didn't help.

  • frankstallone Frank Stallone 🏋️‍♂️ (@frankstallone) reported

    @signalapp has this odd UX due to it's contraints on views. I assume it's because of a discoverability problem. When you join, if you tell it to look at you contacts to see who you know is on Signal...

  • jgdeshpande2008 Jayant G. Deshpande (@jgdeshpande2008) reported

    @signalapp Recently removing Whatsapp I downloaded Signal and created account.Sent messages very well received by friends. But images,mms sent failed many times.Many observed such glitches. There are many errors and shortcomings in Signal,at present...(1/2)..

  • hueyflueys hue grant (@hueyflueys) reported

    @VickyVibrance @signalapp Hope your internet is better than mine top speed of 5mbs today disguised with BT service

  • Aruschandran Arus Chandran.R.S. (@Aruschandran) reported

    I see just phone numbers on Signal contact list after deleting a few of my iCloud contacts. Is that a sync problem ? #SignalApp @signalapp

  • kbsingh Karanbir Singh (@kbsingh) reported

    @jwildeboer @JvJean1971 @signalapp S/incompetent/ human error, system fails, social hijack, upstream /downstream compromise etc etc.. the many ways that data and privacy are lost to unmoderated and uncontrollable players.

  • leomeloxp Leo Melo 🏳️‍🌈✊🏾 (@leomeloxp) reported

    @signalapp I changed phones over the weekend and now cannot get the Signal registration to go through on my new device (sms or call). I have Signal running on my old phone, iPad, etc. Anything I can do other than wait for load issues to be solved?

  • WafHeikal Wafaa Heikal وفاء (@WafHeikal) reported

    @hamzattar @signalapp I totally agree with you and so far don't think that Signal actually has a misinformation problem, maybe in the future we can reasses this. I know that there's attempts for factchecking efforts in encrypted networks. Need to follow on such research

  • theanarcat anarcat (@theanarcat) reported

    the most i heard so far is that the clients were retrying too much when the server was down, which meant requests were piling up which (naturally) makes recovery harder @signalapp

  • lensofreason Deepone (@lensofreason) reported

    Signal app has some issues with sms deliveries not in sequence #SignalApp #Signal @signalapp

  • m_arcopolo marco paşa (@m_arcopolo) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp There are problems with sound and video. There is freezing in the video conversation, and the sound goes to the other side by echoing. These need to be corrected.

  • Jacob69606553 Jacob (@Jacob69606553) reported

    @signalapp I started facing an issue with the Signal Android application. Messages are slowly sent without apparent reason (network quality is good and other applications works just fine).

  • RaisahAhmed Raisah Ahmed (@RaisahAhmed) reported

    @signalapp my desktop app and phone app aren't completely syncing. When I send messages from my desktop they don't show in the chat history on the phone app - do you have a way to fix this?
