Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • efani EFANI (@efani) reported

    @naomibrockwell @GrapheneOS @signalapp Quite some hygiene cyber practices, we would point to embed a secure cellular service and abandon SMS-backed 2FA.

  • phillipsbk Brian Phillips (@phillipsbk) reported

    @signalapp You're down...again. 🙄 It's becoming common.

  • Severin_1984 sevlu (@Severin_1984) reported

    @knutsvanholm @MWietersheim @signalapp Use Session Messenger. Open Source and same encryption as Signal but you dont need phone number to verify(biggest signal issue) and it uses Onion Routing by default.

  • CarlosVenturaU Carlos Ventura (@CarlosVenturaU) reported

    I am interested in contributing to @signalapp, but I get an error in the contribution method, you should look for different ways to be able to make a contribution

  • combat_boot 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁 (@combat_boot) reported

    @NZITArchitect @signalapp I’d widen that a tad beyond UK. Most nations I’ve worked with have issues too. And all platforms have things to consider, not just WhatsApp. And if the device is compromised, or being operated by a malicious or incompetent user, it’s all out there for everyone to see anyway.

  • erikmancha_ Mancha (@erikmancha_) reported

    @signalapp Having trouble with your app. Please respond 😭

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @jobohomeskillet @MattMetcalf Apple chooses to promote tribalism and violence against the people without iPhones. They have every opportunity to fix this, but won't. Use @signalapp and ignore text messages as they are broken anyway. Apple only made the situation worse.

  • izelnakri Izel Nakri (@izelnakri) reported

    @buschtoens @signalapp The problem with signal I see is UX is way inferior, and there could be some form of bigotry in its management. Best is to go against the network effects, however difficult it might be, half of my friends are on Telegram, so it’s manageable.

  • MatthewRideout Matthew Rideout 🤖 💙 (@MatthewRideout) reported

    Video call quality on @signalapp is definitely much better than it used to be. Just had a 1.5 hour call with no sync issues, no jutter, no drops.

  • Gemini_Stellium Gem Adler 💎 (@Gemini_Stellium) reported

    @signalapp None of my attachments are being recieved, help!

  • niroop08 niroop kumar (@niroop08) reported

    I have lost my messages on signal app...could you please help me to recover it's urgent.... I have tried many ways but no use @signalapp @TRAI

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @vagabondvivant No! This is abuse Apple let loose. Stop using text messages. @signalapp is better than broken texting and works on iOS and Android.

  • Seajay23 Chris Jones (@Seajay23) reported

    @NZITArchitect @combat_boot @signalapp We all love a technical fix. But broken encryption or a leak by Facebook is not the main threat. The real problem is that your off-the-cuff comment with information either damming to you or valuable to adversaries is now sat in someone's screenshot folder out of your control.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @kirkkkkk4 This is a problem Apple inflicted on the world. Use @signalapp on your phone where messages are encrypted no matter which phone you bought and reactions are an actual supported feature. Also, @signalstickers can be fun.

  • andrea_gym Andrea Metal Gym Bro (@andrea_gym) reported

    @signalapp @Gemini_Stellium Same here. And people don't receive mine. Also problems with texts persist from time to time. PLEASE GUYS, may you please release some note of any kind? P.s.already uninstalled and reinstalled

  • RobShinyLane ShinyLane (@RobShinyLane) reported

    @signalapp Your pile of **** app allowed someone to register using my identity with a phone number that is OVER 10 YEARS OLD. If your company doesn't fix this in 24 hours I will be contacting as many lawyers as I can find and as my very deep pockets can afford. FIX THIS NOW

  • geomannie531 Bob Downie (@geomannie531) reported

    Hi @signalapp, I am happy to make a one off payment to help sustain the Signal project, but I am also not keen on an ongoing monthly sum. Can you add a one-off payment option? Also, I don't do Google Pay. Can you include other payment options? Thanks

  • aradileepan Aravind Dileepan (@aradileepan) reported

    @signalapp I'm having an issue that I can't find on Google. My messages are getting instantaneous (and false) reactions from others in the group. Install and reinstall helped for a few days but now it's back.

  • RainSoakedPoet Raihan Jamil (@RainSoakedPoet) reported

    Hey @signalapp, I am in a group of 40 students. How can I #hide my number? Please help. I do not want others to call me.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @amiracle_z Does the boss not care about security? Using text messages is a terrible idea. Everyone should use @signalapp where reactions are an actual thing and secure messages don't depend on which device you purchased.

  • beatsbymayce mayce (@beatsbymayce) reported

    @signalapp Not sure if it's a localized issue, but the new screenshare feature on Windows 11 causes my entire PC and mouse to lag and stutter. I haven't been able to find a fix or anyone mentioning it, how would I acquire help for this issue?

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @rdoubleoc @signalapp So it's still 2021... But can you describe your problem in more detail? What is not working?

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @abby12saun What excuse do they give for not using @signalapp? Text messages are incredibly broken and Apple managed to make it worse.

  • KatlasC MM (@KatlasC) reported

    @dustinwatchman @MWietersheim @signalapp PoW is an example of fairness. Look at me, I CANNOT mine because is too expensive. Pretty fair. LOL A fair system will let me participate in a mass-consumption service with any computer.

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @Soulfight2424 Reactions and security work for Android and iOS when you all use @signalapp instead of broken texting.

  • Anil_Jhb Anil (@Anil_Jhb) reported

    @MWietersheim @signalapp I would use the service if @signalapp supported #Bitcoin . Not interested in Mobile(****)coin

  • galvao Galvao (💉💉) 🐧 + 🪶 + 🐘 + 🐘 + @getlaminas (@galvao) reported

    Is @signalapp aware of it's site returning a Error code: SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP?

  • tcely Chris Ely ⚛☢️💉😷🗳️ | #EndDST (@tcely) reported

    @PazzaMily All people know WA is a broken copy of @signalapp, correct?

  • combat_boot 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗮𝘁 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝘁 (@combat_boot) reported

    @NZITArchitect @rupsvaj @signalapp Carefully does it, it can be ‘more secure’, or ‘less secure’ but it isn’t ‘secure’. None of them are fully secure. There’s no absolutes in this game & apps have issues around IDing users, privacy, takeover of numbers & are all wide open to malicious group members.

  • andrewcb @acb@mastodon.social (@andrewcb) reported

    @AlecMuffett @signalapp I haven’t, but notifications (on iOS) stopped working for me a month or two ago, and several app updates intended to address this issue didn’t.
