Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jason Sackey (@jsonsackey) reported@oliszymanski @signalapp The media which generates such things is sometimes: kids' own phones. One issue on-device-scanning is meant to address is that of children sending illegal photos of themselves, induced e.g. by groomers, extortionists, peers, or adults pretending to be children.
-
Wade J. Beckett (@wadejbeckett) reported@signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.
-
صدایی تو جهانم نیست♐ (@Love_Lorn9952) reported@signalapp I am writing to report a persistent issue with receiving the registration/verification SMS code in Iran.
-
Bogdan Popa 🇪🇺 (@BogdanMPopa) reported@ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone
-
Chromatic Aberration (@agaefendi_) reported@Tech_Temp_ @signalapp Surely tech people will find a way and create privacy focused content like we always did. You’re missing my point. I’m saying for everyday people and mainstream devices being scanned for the huge problem of children trafficking. I’ve reported a few cases of such on this app even.
-
Anne Marte Odland (@AnneMaOdland) reported@meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?
-
Alan (@Alan79192519) reported@signalapp If they force you, pull your service from the uk - this will send a powerful message. I wish apple would do the same thing ie shut off all iPhones - it would make people wake up and apple can afford to
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Tech_Temp (@Tech_Temp_) reported@agaefendi_ @signalapp It's amazing that you've reported the CSAM. But what I am telling you is that if they create a privacy service where you can save your pictures or other days that you want to stay private nothing is stopping them from doing the same thing they are doing now. We need to act now

信道 (しんどう) ⁷ (@wangubaagu) reportedMy mistake, folks. Sorry. I was on an old computer with Debian 11, and I was tired. There is no problem with Signal Desktop @signalapp in @debian 12 and 13.
-
shhh (@Truthseekerrz) reported@Mandy03567961 @signalapp 😔 they better not shut it down I hope they stand there ground
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
KR 🟨 (@KRinweb3) reported@Daavya_vaishnav @signalapp Signal already wins on privacy and the UI is much better than many people expect. The harder problem is replacing Telegram’s bots, channels, and community infrastructure.
-
Palaash Atri (@palaashatri) reported@bramh0sWali People can literally just use @signalapp instead. This is an idiotic ban for starters. Instead of fixing the problem they're just shooting the Messenger, literally.
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
