Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • rphv4eva ரதன் (@rphv4eva) reported

    @signalapp are you currently having issues with media? I'm unable to play any media via the app and the error is Media no longer available.

  • rechelon William Gillis 🏴 (@rechelon) reported

    @rainingwildly @juliusmm9 @signalapp Yeah, I think this is it. I have issues with a variety of signal choices, but I suspect this is a fair choice. There's also the issue Moxie will inevitably bring up of false sense of security (eg it's easy to secretly take screenshots in snapchat if you have any tech skills)

  • twitnextdoor Deviloper (@twitnextdoor) reported

    @roelraymond Remember how the SL government shut it down these weeks? WA is not designed to resist censorship so they could have kept that up for way longer, like Easter '19. Time to go @signalapp; it has also had reactions for a looong time if that's what you're after.

  • Keitmaan1 Kaytmaan Bhatti (@Keitmaan1) reported

    @signalapp Only problem is why the online status of recipient is not available on this app? It should be available if you want to replace Whatsapp. Thank me later

  • occupymars42069 Free Voice of Doge 🐶 (@occupymars42069) reported

    yeah, very easy, just install it onto your iPhone or Android-based smartphone and add people who also have @signalapp, that's all. In fact, it is not an sm platform but an encrypted messenger service. "But what is Signal App?" haha :))

  • naggingbear Sharp (@naggingbear) reported

    @fkapeaceful @signalapp Same problem here

  • jazzhoyt Jasmine Hoyt (@jazzhoyt) reported

    @signalapp is the service down? Can’t open my app

  • msimonpietri M. (@msimonpietri) reported

    Hey @signalapp, since I've updated my @oneplus 8 pro to Android 12 I have issues with notifications... I've checked all the settings but nothing working... Any idea?

  • puretruehumble Marie 🌿 (@puretruehumble) reported

    @LowIQDegen2 @disclosetv @signalapp Won't help. The law is all about circumventing E2E encryption by controlling the content directly on ur phone, i.e. before/after encryption.

  • ryantcwynar Ryan | cwynar.eth (@ryantcwynar) reported

    Alright guys... can we stop trying to save $Luna and just let it die so the big coins can stabilize and gas fees can go down? I'm trying to move some $SNT around to compete with @signalapp on my phone

  • benlucier Ben Lucier (@benlucier) reported

    @DipulP @signalapp That’s not the problem I’m trying to solve. I like SMS (and I use Signal too)—just pointing out some ****** matketing behaviours, that’s all.

  • SovietMercedes Her Majesty Soviet-Mercedes 👑 (@SovietMercedes) reported

    @LILGOVERNMENT @signalapp This is bullshit. Signál please fix 😭

  • DefiesLabels Defies Labels (@DefiesLabels) reported

    @signalapp Hey, I downloaded the new app update on my iPhone and now it won’t launch. There’s a serious bug with the new version. Please fix this ASAP!

  • henryjwallis Henry Wallis (@henryjwallis) reported

    @signalapp I cannot use your service due to constant captchas if you dont fix this i will have to migrate all my contacts off of your platform this is completely unacceptable

  • keithrconrad Keith Conrad (@keithrconrad) reported

    Anybody else having issues with @signalapp sending weird notifications every minute or so?

  • iamrajofficials Raj kumar (@iamrajofficials) reported

    @WhatsApp @whatsapp very worst service. Doent have proper support. its waste of time. Stopped using month back. Due to your worst service not able to login into my number. @signalapp is 100 times better than yours

  • preetaman614 OneForAll (@preetaman614) reported

    Hey @signalapp The screen rotation during video call when we tilt the phone 180° is kinda frustrating. I had to tilt it several time to fix it. Please provide us a better update.

  • IamSaifRK Advocate for #PakUS relationship (@IamSaifRK) reported

    512 @WhatsApp is still lagging far behind the @signalapp on this issue of groups capacity which is 1000 in signal. So whatsapp will have to do more to attain the level of signal.

  • MilanGriffes Milan Griffes (@MilanGriffes) reported

    @altsanabo @liminal_warmth If @signalapp made an email client I'd be SO DOWN

  • JenBuermann Jennifer Buermann (@JenBuermann) reported

    @signalapp App isn’t working for me right now; I’m getting an “optimizing database” message and app won’t open. Problem on my end or yours?

  • Much_Mining 🇺🇦Much_Mining🇺🇦 (@Much_Mining) reported

    @occupymars42069 @elonmusk @signalapp No. don’t fix what ain’t broke.

  • Experdiza Доткор Хаос & HotRods.one (@Experdiza) reported

    If your WhatsApp messenger was down, feel free 2 switch 2 @signalapp #signalapp #signal or even @session_app (decentralized, no phone/email required)

  • fkapeaceful revenge (@fkapeaceful) reported

    @signalapp please send me a DM if you can help me figure this out

  • theTGhoul Ahmed (@theTGhoul) reported

    @signalapp When I send a message on iOS, the sound effect is similar to iMessage, except it's worse, louder, and lower quality. Please fix it!!

  • fkapeaceful revenge (@fkapeaceful) reported

    hey @signalapp i need your help. i’ve tried everything and my phone still won’t let me open the app. this is time sensitive

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @signalapp just did the recommended update now the app is crashing, cannot even open on iOS. Help.

  • LexDaMarin Lex DaMarin (@LexDaMarin) reported

    @signalapp here's a crazy idea... If it's not broken, don't fix it! Since the last two or three updates, all calls are being dropped, they don't connect, or most frustrating, I get a notification that someone is calling me on Signal, but the Answer/Decline window doesn't appear.

  • Scobleizer Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reported

    @technobaboo @matrixdotorg @signalapp We need much more encryption than our systems currently use. A lot more. Lots of problems all of a sudden in society that we need system-level protections from. And I know the industry hasn’t invested nearly enough here.

  • RealDeltaEthos_ Delta ETH🍊S 🕳🐇 -Z (@RealDeltaEthos_) reported

    @signalapp Please help me and others move away from Google Messages by allowing text messages on Signal to sync to Signal on Desktop. One place for all messaging! :-)

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @gregoryneven @signalapp @VincentVQ Is that why the app crashed? It’s not working after an update in the US
