  • jeremymolina Jeremy Molina (@jeremymolina) reported

    @timglitch @signalapp @moxie You can either be a Signal Sustainer or a Signal Booster. Go to Signal then Setting, way down the bottom it says Signal Boost, there you can specified any amount you would like to contribute with. You get a badge too, different one thought.

  • cybaiger Baiger, PDHD (they/them) (@cybaiger) reported

    @GinPerigee @Grifter801 @signalapp Do you know Signal's service has been completely blocked off in mainland China? For at least half a year now. What keyboard extension do you think will solve this? Also, maybe report on the issue tracker instead of Twitter if wanting to be taken seriously.

  • jayzalowitz Jay Z (@jayzalowitz) reported

    @Donewithfiat @signalapp Monero takes too long, is slightly less secure, didn’t have recoverable keys, didn’t want to help them, and actually have funded a competitor. Would you help a team that funded a competitor?

  • cuddlyfoxgirl Laura 💜 (@cuddlyfoxgirl) reported

    @_dev_urandom_ @signalapp @telegram the telegram thing is bullshit. they can request a new password via text message, intercept the text message and get access to all messages. it's trivial for any secret service.

  • badcryptobitch Mikerah (@badcryptobitch) reported

    @BobMcElrath @signalapp @matrixdotorg Been using Element for comms at my company. Works well as a Slack alternative but not really as a signal alternative. I have tried Wire but it has the same problems as Signal. I have yet to try Threema.

  • StromschlagYT Stromschlag (@StromschlagYT) reported

    Hey @signalapp! Are you guys experiencing any server troubles or service downtimes? Trying to move my conversations to a new iOS device. „move to“ doesn’t work. Both my devices are correctly setup. Prompt shows but doesn’t transfer. Also: trying again makes prompt unresponsive…

    @signalapp Is signal coming out with native M1 / Arm support? The app runs terrible on my new macbook. Thanks

  • AngoliSchroeder Angoli Schroeder (@AngoliSchroeder) reported

    @signalapp iphone user having an issue watching videos filmed and sent by android users. I can’t report in the app because it defaults to a mail app I don’t use and no option to choose another email app.

  • ATechforest Amazon techforest (@ATechforest) reported

    @session_app I found my old msgs when I login here for 2nd time. I thought it will work like @signalapp . But it stored my msg, is this bug.

  • philip_a Philip (@philip_a) reported

    @signalapp since always the in-app camera shows and photographs a zoomed in picture. On all iPhones, betas and public releases. It's not using another camera, it's zoomed. There are bug reports since at least 2019 in your forum. Are there any plans to fix this bug?

  • heavilyarmedc Heavily Armed Clown (@heavilyarmedc) reported

    @HillebrandMax @signalapp @matrixdotorg Signal was DOA at addressing any real issues out of the gate. Any messaging protocol that onboards with a phone number is.

  • bitcoinpam ₿eliever ₿oomer Remnant (@bitcoinpam) reported

    @TheGuySwann @session_app @signalapp Am using it as well...liking it so far also, but it does keep throwing an error and quitting on my Mac.

  • AndreMartin Andre Martin (@AndreMartin) reported

    The @SignalApp (desktop) seems pissed this morning, throwing me an "Unhandled Promise Rejection" error. But I didn't promise anything! #Fail

  • jiceman John Eisenman (@jiceman) reported

    @BobMcElrath @signalapp @matrixdotorg Will they bake it in as a way to fund the service?

  • Goldenerstein84 Goldstein (@Goldenerstein84) reported

    @sethforprivacy @signalapp @ThreemaApp That just tells you a lot about these "privacy-conscious circles". It doesn't help that People like you keep repeating this nonsense that "nobody uses it".

  • solareximaging CHOW Wei Ming (@solareximaging) reported

    @signalapp I've just updated to version 5.26.2 (iOS), and I'm no longer receiving notifications on my phone. The same thing happened with 5.26.1 from earlier today. No issues with the desktop app (5.24.0) though. A bug in the latest update?

  • okwithmydecay Mat (@okwithmydecay) reported

    @andrewcb @signalapp I hope it's soon. I got a few friends to switch to Signal on iPhone and they gave up due to notification issues

  • TechDadio TechDadio (@TechDadio) reported

    Hey @signalapp .I had 4 friends with #iphones download #SignalApp and everything was perfect messaging. They deleted Signal and now their phones do not receive messages from me. It seems there phones won't step down to sms? Any thoughts?

  • ucheogbiti Uche⚡🐲⚡ (@ucheogbiti) reported

    @signalapp please help i can't login

  • harusha Harsha Bharadhwaj (@harusha) reported from Bengaluru, State of Karnataka

    Till today I suspected that @signalapp had an issue delivering SMS to me, only to realise it was due to stupid battery optimization setting (set to intelligent) of @oneplus Looks like it wasn't intelligent at all!

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

    I wonder when @signalapp will finally fix its notifications on iOS.

  • Itz_alokistic Alok Patel (@Itz_alokistic) reported

    @signalapp Android app is hanging too much while texting.. Texts are taking about 30 second to be delivered. Please see into the issue with Android app.

  • solareximaging CHOW Wei Ming (@solareximaging) reported

    @signalapp I'm using Signal on both my phone and desktop (version 5.24.0). No issue on the desktop, only not receiving any notification on the phone.
