Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
Old School (@CHiPs1988) reported@Apple Siri is horrible! Never gets it right. Try to dictate on CarPlay and it will cut you off. I message is horrible as well. The @signalapp is way better! @grok is great and always gets it right! Will even correct me sometimes and it was right! Hire English speaking people to teach IPhone to dictate properly. I’ve worked in the labs and I know who is working on the iPhones. This is the problem. “No Joke!”
-
airtx (🥚,🥚) 🇦🇲 (@0xairtx) reported@KhanAbbas201 @signalapp Its just terrible for groups.
-
Grey Observer (@JohnAsser65014) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp Help the parents have and use tools, don't design clunky sector wide failures.
-
GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?
-
Sebastian Buzdugan (@sebuzdugan) reported@signalapp watched phishing kits move from login pages to fake support scripts after trust improved
-
Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported@signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.
-
SignalVoyager (@signalvoyager) reported@notesnook @signalapp Signal devs must lead the way leading other devs to takre control back. They should guide other devs. Yet they follow common protocols and win stupid prices like this. Then cry for Apple support to help them fix things. I expect better from Signal. (n/n)
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp It’s an iOS issue, not Signal’s problem. Dump your Apple phone, us GrapheneOS …done.
-
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.
-
Manfred @tschisass.bsky.social 📯 💚 🌻 (@tschisass) reported.@signalapp isn't the problem; it's always the #people
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
Jess (@theweb3jess) reported@sombradosul @signalapp @depressivehacks While true, it’s best to have a proposal to the problem Else, you are just another complainer on the Internet
-
B Invest HQ (@BInvestHQ) reported@signalapp Used fraudulently this software could scan bank accounts & other financial & data sensitive ones like passwords. This is not the way to control the problem and should be controlled through the data centres. It will not safeguard children it's another population control measure.
-
Недовольний твітер (@_vlad_che_) reportedWhen I want to transfer data from desktop (without a camera) to mobile @signalapp, I open the desktop QR , then I select "Transfer from other device" on mobile and get another QR. What next? Scan QR by QR? Maybe you have mental problems to create such a stupid flow.
-
XLERB (@XLERBonX) reported@signalapp Government LOVES to solve problems. That's why they're there, to solve problems. (I guess sarcasm still doesn't work on the internet.)
-
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.
-
Zchat | Shielded messenger (@zchat_app) reported@signalapp phishing thrives in the gap between encrypted transport and unverified identity. the hardest privacy problem isn't the message content, it's proving who sent it
-
ChilizHODL⚡️ (@ChillizHODL) reported@signalapp They wreck and mismanage the economy. Making ordinary life including raising children, having a family difficult and broken. Two parents are overworked and they know it. Children are growing up without efficient parental guidance. Government comes in with a big stick. Cowards.
-
AlmightyA (@AlmightyAye) reported@Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.
-
Mpost Media Group (@mpost_io) reported✅ @Apple has rolled out a software fix to address a flaw that stored notifications marked for deletion on the device. This vulnerability allowed the @FBI to read deleted messages in @signalapp. The update comes weeks after it was revealed that the agency managed to forensically extract copies of incoming #Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone in connection with an attack on the Prairieland ICE detention center facility. This was possible even after the app had been deleted, by exploiting the fact that copies of message content were stored in the device’s push notification database. Signal’s developers thanked Apple for its “quick action and for understanding and acting on the stakes of this kind of issue.”
-
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.
-
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.
-
MG (@taradasana) reported@signalapp @404mediaco And what have you done to fix careless whisper? @signalapp
-
marc hofer (@marchofer) reported@BrendanEich @signalapp How !? Just disable notifications in the Signal settings and you can mitigate. Maybe it should be default and should come with a warning for users when activated. But the real issue is with iOS being garbage.
-
megabyte0x.eth (@megabyte0x) reported@TomZarebczan @signalapp @RadarChat The problem is not that. the problem is onboarding others. There's no point for me being there without anyone else I know, and I have been having a quite hard time to onboard people to Signal already :)
-
Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.
-
S.A.P (@SAP127001) reportedApple kind of fixed the @signalapp notification cache issue. Admitted a notification log issue, yet the iOS apps still require deleting to remove cache.
-
Megan Sweet (@MNMegan) reported@PressSec Is @POTUS going to address the @signalapp chat with Israelis laughing about our service members dying for them? 😡😡👀
