Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • yatpay JP (@yatpay) reported

    @signalapp this is a terrible idea. the only reason I was making any progress at all on getting people to use Signal was because they could just use it like a better SMS app. at this point it's essentially useless to me because it'll be impossible to convince anyone else to switch.

  • PoliticsIsLoca1 Politics Is Local (@PoliticsIsLoca1) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp @reckless terrible decision-making from you regarding the removal of SMS default app on AndroidOS. The entire point of signal is to encourage adoption... which is not very useful when you need two apps (or more) for everything. Every other tech company is trying to reduce the # of apps...

  • topher_hunter Topher (@topher_hunter) reported

    @signalapp Terrible idea.

  • niawag1 Gawain Kripke (@niawag1) reported

    Annoyed that @signalapp is dropping SMS service. Why?

  • ahamelin Alexandre Hamelin (@ahamelin) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp It will wreak havoc throughout the user base, forcing them to manage their messages between two apps, creating problems in the exportation process, losing their texting history, etc., and what if Signal brings back sms support later? Knowing what happened no one's gonna come back

  • AbstractTruth David Menestres (@AbstractTruth) reported

    @casey_anderson @signalapp Really super annoyed by this. I think it’s a terrible idea. Forcing me to use the Android Messenger app means I will forever hate the people who made this decision.

  • icHamza د.حمزة🦉Dr.Hamza (@icHamza) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible move, why are you doing this?

  • nick77vet nick77vet (@nick77vet) reported

    @signalapp Almost everyone I know who uses Signal will refuse to use 2 messaging apps with some friends and family on one and the rest on the other. This is a terrible decision.

  • housepage Andrew E. Gall (@housepage) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible move. If I care to, I know how to look if my messages are secure. Otherwise, I enjoy the ease of unified experience with my SMSing. This isn't about user privacy and is a misguided attempt to drive adoption but it'll cause the opposite: Mass Flight.

  • ReynardVelox Reynard Velox (@ReynardVelox) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible idea. The reason I've been able to convince so many non technical people to use signal is because the cost is so low because they can keep using SMS. This decision means all those people will go back to only using SMS...

  • di0v0n di0v0n (@di0v0n) reported

    @signalapp oh no. Today I got the information that SMS support will end. It's very sad, it was a big pro for #signal-app to manage all using one messenger. I also have now the problem to help my parents (>80 years) to send signal messages with one app and SMS with another app.

  • ReynardVelox Reynard Velox (@ReynardVelox) reported

    @PhoenixFire_YYC @signalapp Of course they haven't. The devs all use signal to communicate and they don't need SMS so they don't know what you want your problem is. Meanwhile all the pwopl I've convinced, who are slowly bring more people in will all go back to only SMS overnight.

  • flyfishcedarci1 Aaron loves democracy and CHOICE (@flyfishcedarci1) reported

    @mkarolian @signalapp I haven't looked recently but as of about 2 years ago signal was the most private out of all the encrypted messaging services. Apps like WhatsApp have master keys available to the service provider

  • andyinlalaland Andy Inla (@andyinlalaland) reported

    @signalapp Hello, I proceeded to use the SMS export to transfer all SMS to other messaging app. I had important notes stored in draft messages and those drafts were lost 😭 I can still see a portion/preview in the main messages list but they're not there when open the chat. Help?

  • craigcolumbus Craig Columbus 🇺🇦 (@craigcolumbus) reported

    @signalapp You're hiring to fix the issue with SMS so we can keep using Signal..... right? Otherwise, you're hiring people to build an app many are going to abandon when you stop working with SMS.
