  • rerevues Brooklyn Properties (@rerevues) reported

    @megbasham @signalapp is our answer. I don't know how long it will take them to try to shut down encrypted messengers or make their use illegal

  • laurenceb Laurence Berland (@laurenceb) reported

    @jackbootedthot @united @signalapp In the case of United, the service is "coming soon" so I don't know. But eg Delta offer this and I'm not sure if they block media. Or how. Or if they couldn't do the same on Signal.

  • DennisPochenk pochenk (@DennisPochenk) reported

    @jilles_com Signal Desktop is way to sensitive.. Even with a small burp in the connection it already starts freaking out.. A change in the software could help.. Maybe delay displaying this for 5 seconds maybe? @signalapp

  • FactFirstNet Trent Naz (@FactFirstNet) reported

    Government threatening to read and fact check your text messages? Switch to the @signalapp I have never had a problem with it, and enjoy using it.

  • ElucTheG33K Eluc (@ElucTheG33K) reported

    I'm getting crazy with @signalapp that refuse to use Google Play Services neither to backup to Websocket on @LineageAndroid 18.1 Android 11. Nobody is able to help neither on Signal side or Lineage side (as Gapp is sideloaded). All other apps are working perfectly fine.

  • jackbootedthot Jackbooted Thot (@jackbootedthot) reported

    @laurenceb @united @signalapp I had TMobile/AAs version of this a few years ago and that's how they did it,and i recall apps like signal and telegram not working. but they may have more advanced stuff now

  • laurenceb Laurence Berland (@laurenceb) reported

    I wonder if @united will count @signalapp as a messaging service when they roll out free messaging in flight. Always strange to see it missing from these things-but maybe it's because it's not for profit?

  • amithartalkar Amit Hartalkar (@amithartalkar) reported

    @signalapp hey, while using the iPad app for the video calls, the opposite person gets the video image upright down. Video orientation is unstable.

  • toughnutt67 Toughnutt19 (@toughnutt67) reported

    @signalapp hello my friends phone has been stolen with malicious intent of blackmail ,her signal app contained private photos of her. Can you please help delete the app or disable it remotely from your end ? I will provid you the number and device and any info if need

  • fullfrankchan Frank “Dot Matrix” Lee💎 (@fullfrankchan) reported

    @ImNotMandie @SarahdragonGirl @signalapp My point is, there are solutions to all of these issues, the tech has been ready for years. The problem is that the schools are incompetent and can't implement a system that works. That goes for tech, and education, and everything else they do.

  • SoSayTheLipless Al (@SoSayTheLipless) reported

    @signalapp I'm trying to make people switch but everyone I've gotten to switch has had major tech issues. Today none of my sisters sms group chat messages are successfully downloading

  • greenbrain18 Green Brain (@greenbrain18) reported

    @signalapp Is there any outage, I am not able to send msg since morning. #signalapp #outage location: Mumbai, India.

  • DarksideSignal Darkside (@DarksideSignal) reported

    @manish12028 @Natasha222804 @signalapp Don’t bother with this group. I joined for a bit and it’s just a bunch of people kissing each other’s asses. No actual help or info. Oh and an idiot named “Serhan Khan” who flew with special permission to Dubai and still participates in the group because he has no life.

  • jandrusk Justin R. Andrusk (@jandrusk) reported

    @BrimstoneDeacon @signalapp Never use a communication platform where the service owners can intercept and read your content.

  • SethEdward Seth Edward (@SethEdward) reported

    @signalapp Any plans to fix the chat colors that got messed up during the latest update? At least give a toggle option to make my color change, or contact color change, in every conversation. I have no use for my computer changing in every chat. It's weird. And makes no sense.

  • DickWhitman_BTC Ricardo “****” Whitman (34) — 🌍 / 21M (@DickWhitman_BTC) reported

    @mflaxman @signalapp Had they just adopted hard money, bitcoiners would be happy to help

  • n_loboda Nikolay Loboda (@n_loboda) reported

    @JSilverhack @rootkovska @signalapp May be the correct solution is investigate why, and fix it?

  • olawonder3 OLAZ (@olawonder3) reported

    @signalapp I changed my phone and after couldn't get OTP on my phone for the new phone how can you help.

  • LambdaZero2 Lambda-Zero | she/her, they/them (@LambdaZero2) reported

    Chat / IM: * @signalapp : Encrypted IM, kinda like Whatsapp, better imo * @matrixdotorg : Has it's issues, but is decent. Feels like a mix of IRC and Discord imo * @session_app : Onion routed and encrypted IM. A bit slower than Signal but not too bad

  • sainadhTweets సాయి (@sainadhTweets) reported

    Hy @signalapp, can you please improve push notifications service in your platform, many times notification gets delayed and sometimes won't come at all. reinstalling app didn't help. #signalApp

  • toughnutt67 Toughnutt19 (@toughnutt67) reported

    @signalapp hello my friends phone has been stolen with malicious intent of blackmail ,her signal app contained explicit photos of her. Can you please help delete the app or disable it remotely from your end ? I will provide you the number and device and any info you need .

  • CallManana Call Me Mañana (@CallManana) reported

    @BloodPawWolf Yeah and that's extremely troublesome. Amazon recently bought Wickr to use their messaging service among employees. They were really pursuing @signalapp, but thankfully those talks broke down quick or never happened.

  • Naveen_BSJ Naveen Choudhary (@Naveen_BSJ) reported

    hello @Vivo_India @signalapp not working in my vivo mobile please fix the issue as soon as possible. thank you

  • jeremysallen JA /// / (@jeremysallen) reported

    @phonetoroam is there any current ability to add @signalapp support? I know @WhatsApp and email are down the line...

  • that_leaflet Leaflet (@that_leaflet) reported

    @FarshidHakimy @xdadevelopers @signalapp I just hope they fix some of the jank of the app. I would constantly have an issue when sharing where tapping on a contact/group would (visually only) change who I tapped. Also didn't receive some messages, don't know what was up with that.

  • mccormick31 mccormick3 (@mccormick31) reported

    @CryptoTweetie What's signals stance on the issue? @signalapp

  • 2ndAmend1791 αιявσяηє νєтєяαη™ 🦅 (@2ndAmend1791) reported

    .@signalapp - re: Stopped getting notifications on iPhone I was getting notifications when phone was locked and/or app was closed -- this stopped recently, but I did not change notification settings on the phone or app. Is this a reported issue?

  • BlitzKrieg2552 Brandon W (@BlitzKrieg2552) reported

    @signalapp when are you going to fix your app on iOS? I haven’t been able to access it for over a week now.

  • terror_trax Terror Trax Podcast by Jack Pierce (@terror_trax) reported

    @disclosetv Install @signalapp and make it your main messaging app. Problem solved.

  • DontTraceMeBruh ᴜɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴀʙʟᴇ (@DontTraceMeBruh) reported

    And I still don't know which messaging service besides @signalapp to turn to 😩 Contacts are spread, no consensus
