    @squirrelly1357 @signalapp @MarkDiStef What kind of good look....? I'm using signal since 3 yrs. Never had any problem. This is the first time.. I'm pretty sure, whatsapp has every month an issue.. If you don't like it, you don't have to. But stop bashing that nonsens. Period

  • coolest_forever VISHAL PANDEY (@coolest_forever) reported

    @signalapp Is any one got the same issue on app?

  • CoreForce69 CoreForce (@CoreForce69) reported

    @Maniacbolts @elonmusk @signalapp It might be a risk for availability, but not a problem for your messaging. Since the code is open source, the same network can be created at different places and projects, for user to move there.

  • a_kamko Artem (@a_kamko) reported

    @ManuelSavorelli @signalapp No, for this case telegram will help you

  • stbridget77 CharlotteDelbo (@stbridget77) reported

  • aevavoom Aeva ✨ (@aevavoom) reported

  • gsin11 Gurpreet Singh (@gsin11) reported

    @signalapp This outage is nothing against privacy concerns. Take your time guys..!

  • tracyabegg Tracy Abegg (@tracyabegg) reported

    @signalapp I swear FB, Instagram and Twitter don’t get this kind of abuse when they go down. Pipe down and if you must go back to WhatsApp because waiting is too inconvenient, please feel free to stay there.

  • sitepodmatt Mãtt Freèman (@sitepodmatt) reported

    @kaihendry @signalapp They had a big outage yesterday, top item on HN, and just getting back on their feet afaik, extreme growth given the whatsapp fiasco, teething problems

  • NedalJo Nedal Abu Lubbad (@NedalJo) reported

    @signalapp Easy way to get Signal application working again. you need to reinstall the application or to clear data and then login. Backup is a must, you will lose all communications and groups. #SignalApp #signal

  • MontgomeryKen Ken Montgomery (@MontgomeryKen) reported

    @rwang0 @signalapp It was down for me for a while and I couldn't help think....

  • pria_00 Pria (@pria_00) reported

    @signalapp It’s just been 2 days since I started using Signal and surprisingly my msgs are not getting delivered. I’m getting an error notification saying Request failed: service unavailable!

  • Freeman_138866 Peanuts (@Freeman_138866) reported

    @signalapp Patiently waiting for the service. Understood it was caused by the sudden surge of demands. No complaint. Keep up with your good work 💪

  • sebbbster sebbbster (@sebbbster) reported

    @signalapp I keep my fingers crossed that you can quickly expand capacity. It would be a shame if the shift from #WhatsApp to #SignalApp were to be slowed down by this.

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @CoreForce69 @elonmusk @signalapp what about a state-level attacker shutting down these servers?

  • jeringeok91 jeringeok (@jeringeok91) reported

    @signalapp Hey Signal, I don't know if you will respond to me. But there is a big security issue in Group chats. Unknown contacts are shown by their name as opposed to number in whatsapp. This is very good and that's y I promoted signal. But on clicking unknown contact, number is revealed😰

  • chonil chonil weerawansa (@chonil) reported

    @sanjanah @signalapp I think it’ll take a bit of time for them to adjust. Some msgs are getting 503 error

  • circ_A_ Ⓐ🖥️ (@circ_A_) reported

    @signalapp these issues made realize how much I depend on #Signal. I decoded that it was a service worth paying for so I set up a monthly donation.

  • Vivek_1113 Vivek Kumar Tiwary (@Vivek_1113) reported

    @signalapp It's working now. Please remove the error notification. It's annoying.

  • PraterRunner Dirk G. Schernikau (European) 🇪🇺 (@PraterRunner) reported

    @signalapp is still out of Service?!

  • aworldgonewrong hiusze (@aworldgonewrong) reported

    @signalapp It takes time for apps to grow and serve a greater amount of users. Hope Signal will fix the problem soon.

  • E05804035 E. (@E05804035) reported

    @signalapp privacy rule number 1 don’t use any service from the US

  • DDERSS Котомкин-Портянский (@DDERSS) reported

    @AFDudley0 @yashalevine @signalapp The issue is that developers may "accidentally" leave obscure bugs in the code -- which sometimes require many years to uncover by the open-source community -- which are known to the funders from the security apparatus/Pentagon to be used for undetected spying.
