I summited the form but still no answer! i need help!

  • dayumswanky Aritro Roy (@dayumswanky) reported

    @signalapp In a sorru state of affairs, if you actually stopped begging and let users donate by themselves, you can really get a huge amount to cover costs. I'm trying to donate via app since a few days and every single time I get an error that payment couldn't be completed. Fix it.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp @SatyaSibaNayak Fix the damn cancel button for voicenotes, so they don't cancel so easily

  • UghZombies Ugh Zombies (@UghZombies) reported

    @signalapp I tried to donate a custom amount through Signal on Android, and it says that my payment couldn't be processed. Is there currently an issue with donations?

  • energyofgod3 Bobby Singer (@energyofgod3) reported

    @signalapp I wish this was not the case. I have been using signal primarily since 2015. I love that it was simple and I have been an avid recruiter. I think this move is too soon and will slow down recruiting efforts.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp I'd feel more COMFORTABLE, if you fix the "cancel" button for voicenotes, it's too big and easily engaged, throwing away a whole *** vn👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 DO... YOU.... USE..... YOUR...OWN....PRODUCT?

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    When @SignalApp's phone login provider got hacked @moxie lied to people saying "this is not a problem caused by actions" this is 100% lie because it was @moxie who decided dangerous phone number login in the first place.

  • anshu_sengupta Anshuman Sengupta (@anshu_sengupta) reported

    @signalapp Great going, now please provide the basic service, like video call without lag and voice call without being choppy.

  • andymstone Andy Stone (@andymstone) reported

    @signalapp Also, what you call "putting it out there" is us sharing how ads on our service work. This is not a new page, nor is it new information. For example, we launched the "Why Am I Seeing This" ad tool in 2014.

  • QueerWebs 🔞 Ramona: Spider-Trans! (@QueerWebs) reported

    @QuartsClock @signalapp Wait whaat? I chat with a couple of friends on there, I thought that **** was locked down

  • webernetz Johannes Weber 🎸 (@webernetz) reported

    @MatthewRStover @ThreemaApp @signalapp For me, that's not a problem. I'm using those apps with my family/friends/colleagues, who have my phone number anyway. For me, that's not that secret.

  • aydeelatty Aydee (@aydeelatty) reported

    @Bitwarden @ProtonMail @signalapp #Protonmail is a free secure email service. Users have their emails encrypted, so no one else can read or listen to them while they are in transit. It uses end-to-end #encryption, meaning no one, not even Protonmail, can see the contents of a message that has been encrypted.

  • MB60625824 M B (@MB60625824) reported

    @whatsabschalten @Yakima_Dan @signalapp Are you ******* retarded? Tag SMS threads as SMS. Tag encrypted threads as encrypted, problem solved. Without SMS Signal will not exist in 2 years.

  • ProperPostulate The Proper Postulates (@ProperPostulate) reported

    @signalapp I don't want to donate to an app that is trying to replicate social media with things like stories. I want to support secure messaging, and removing sms is a step in the wrong direction for improving adoption. If you made your roadmap public, it would help to justify a donation

  • TheOtherWizard1 NSFW 18+ (@TheOtherWizard1) reported

    @signalapp hey I just got a new phone and I tried to register using the same number. For some reason it tells me I had too many attempts. I waited for over an hour but still say the same. Help.

  • nuwtox nuwtox.eth (@nuwtox) reported

    Why not Login-with-Ethereum though? @SpruceID @telegram @signalapp

  • flaplette Janine 🌺 Flora (@flaplette) reported

    still kinda ****** up that @signalapp is so focused on the technical end of private comms, yet insists on "securely" uploading your contacts list in order to notify everyone who's got you in their own list that you made an account as if that's somehow not a massive privacy issue

  • dayumswanky Aritro Roy (@dayumswanky) reported

    @signalapp In a sorry state of affairs, if you actually stopped begging and let users donate by themselves, you can really get a huge amount to cover costs. I'm trying to donate via app since a few days and every single time I get an error that payment couldn't be completed. Fix it.

  • paulgear1 Paul Gear (@paulgear1) reported

    @signalapp Please don't drop SMS support. This is a terrible idea. What's a worse UX: encrypted and plain text in the same app, or having to deal with two apps to manage all of your messages? The latter by a long way.

  • MicahZoltu Micah Zoltu (@MicahZoltu) reported

    @M0__o__ @signalapp Signal isn't the most feature rich IM client, but it is *by far* the most privacy preserving. Its only real problem on the privacy front is requiring phone number for account creation. They go to great lengths to use it privately, but it always has made me uncomfortable.

  • WhatnowwYT Whatnoww (@WhatnowwYT) reported

    @andymstone @signalapp Hmm, who should I trust? Signal, a company trusted by many to operate a secure and private service that has proven itself over time, or a company with a history of manipulating it's users with an invested interest in targeted advertising?

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    This phone number requirement as well as DELIBERATELY low popularity of @SignalApp are not all of the problems of this app.

  • erickuhn19 Eric Kuhn (@erickuhn19) reported

    Is @signalapp becoming unusable for anyone else? I keep getting asked to verify captchas. I’m using a VPN which I assume is the problem.

  • mart_mart7 Banana Barbara (@mart_mart7) reported

    It may be acceptable for a mass market messaging app like @telegram to have phone numbers as a default login however for if an app like @signalapp DEMANDS everyone to enter their phone number then it should be thrown into trash for it.

  • ElaboIain 🌱🌴🇲🇨Iain🌏Elabo 🇮🇩🌴🌱 (@ElaboIain) reported

    So let me ask again. Network issues? Groups aren't working properly @signalapp

  • shahishfaq78 ADVOCATE SHAH ISHFAQ. ایڈووکیٹ شاہ اشفاق (@shahishfaq78) reported

    @signalapp what is happening why your app crash frequently and facing trouble also in sending pdf.

  • _cluxter_ cluxter (@_cluxter_) reported

    @signalapp Could we have an option that when we delete a message on one device it deletes it on all the devices? It's not just a pain in the *** to do it manually, it's also a security issue sometimes. I don't want my child's picture to appear and stay on my work laptop for example.

  • diana180 Diana (@diana180) reported

    @signalapp I've locked myself out of my Signal profile/past while moving between Android phones. My PIN has been rejected on both phones. Is there any way I can get support please? Online help instructions for this rely on commands that aren't on my UI. Thanks!
