Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Nikola Tesla’s Ghost 👻 (@Nikola_Truth) reported@TeslaHype @signalapp Fair enough, but I doubt Elon would have a problem with any of these things.
-
Sam DeF (@sDefrees) reportedThe King of Saudi Arabia hacked Jeff Bezos' **** picks & ppl seriously think running @signalapp or opening LN channels or any one product will solve the problem of state sponsored hacking, spying, defamation, & surveillance. We're not safe. We're not secure. We're not private.
-
BionicB 🇺🇲 (@BionicBeauty) reported@starvingsteve @startpage @signalapp Well duh. I assumed people have the brains to pick a good VPN service. Thanks for the drop in. And whatever.

Zonker 🛑 Dir of Redirects🛑 (@BarstoolZ) reported@adacable @signalapp It was great a few days ago but it's crap now Unhandled Error RequestError: Timeout awaiting 'socket' for 300000ms at ClientRequest.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]\node_modules\got\dist\source\core\index.js)
-
Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported@signalapp @signalapp 2nd updated version installed since 31st March report. The problem is not fixed. Reminder - multi-screen Windows PC, on 4K screen. Further info, 3 screens, 4K screen is not the primary screen.

🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported@TheRealRarog @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. If you install over the existing app without uninstalling it - the data will be preserved. Sorry for the trouble!
-
polqa✟ (@polqat) reported@KetanJ0 @signalapp please make a Twitter style service. I will pay a subscription
-
BashCo (@BashCo_) reported@Andrei08888888 @signalapp That doesn't address the issue I'm describing. Phone numbers are antiquated and overdue for innovation. You should be able to use a deterministic number (hash) for every new contact. Like a bitcoin wallet, but for phone numbers instead of addresses.

Indraneel Chitale (@cIndraneel) reported@signalapp has been crashing for last 24 hours. Anyone else facing this problem?
-
my name is driftwood (@cho0b) reported@0xdade @signalapp I didn't have any issues as far as I can tell. 🤔
-
🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported@RihoKroll @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. Are you running 5.35.0 version of the Desktop app? If yes - this banner is unfortunately expected. I’d appreciate it if you could download the installer from the website and install over your existing app without uninstalling it. Sorry for trouble!

ابراهيم عمر (@RSxmxNl17fJogVN) reported@signalapp I appeal to you, people, to help me. I want to feed my children. No one responds to me for debts to people I want to pay.

Cingcing (@ntiuw) reported@signalapp hi Signal, i've been experiencing trouble where there are no new message notifications when someone sent me messages and the messages only appear when I open the chat room, how to fix this? thx

Kashyap Merai (@kamerk22) reported10/ Use encrypted messaging apps 💬 Use a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging service. End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your intended recipient can view messages. Use #iMessage and @signalapp
-
🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported@Psychocrysma @signalapp Hello! Signal Desktop developer here. Sorry about the issue. The best way to fix it is to download the latest installer from the website and install over without uninstalling. Please let me know if you will run into anything!
-

Ada (@adacable) reported@signalapp "oh **** I pasted PII into the main 300 person organising chat" is a real and easy to circumvent problem.
-
Dan (@orblivion) reported@lmatsakis @signalapp Ideally the NFTs should contain a hash of the artwork for integrity, and the artwork should be hosted in a way that won't ever go down (such as IPFS). But (according to this blog post) instead it just has a URL to a file that OpenSea controls.
-
Nabeel Rahimpour (@nabeel_co) reported@signalapp the fact you can't transfer your signal messages from iOS to Android or back is such a stupid limitation, it's making me reconsider ever using Signal. How am I supposed to recommend Signal when it causes these kind of problems?
-
Sam Merchant (@SamMerchant9) reported@signalapp Just had to delete and reinstall Signal after it crashed. Lost all my data/pictures/videos. Painful! Never had this problem with WhatsApp.

scottgallant 💙💛 (@scottgallant) reportedI see @signalapp as the Wikipedia of today (an essential service that circumvents capitalism). …encrypted, powered by donations, open-source, a not-for-profit, and not owned by @Meta Love it.
