  • yubi_bharath Bharath (@yubi_bharath) reported

    @signalapp Not getting timely notifications these days, happening to friends too..seems to be some issue. If any Please fix soon, all my migrated friends have second thoughts now coz of performance issues!

  • colourdiscovery Eben Farnworth (@colourdiscovery) reported

    @PaulGit @YuanfenYang @signalapp Signal fixed their service in Iran, so I guess they will fix it in China too, likely through this advanced settings feature in the coming weeks.

  • MrCrypto008 xM. Crypto (@MrCrypto008) reported

    @signalapp You forgot two with privacy by default. @monero and @HavenXHV 🤔 Can you please fix that?

  • noclipsetto1 vibing at 3am (@noclipsetto1) reported

    @buchwasa @NadeshikoKagami @signalapp That something has been sent *and* who’s sent it to whom, also there is the issue of metadata but I don’t have enough knowledge on that subject. My point is you can’t put all your trust (or your info) in a single app.

  • astucesweb nasser (@astucesweb) reported

    @mollardy @signalapp Bug needed to fix

  • securetty_ Frederick (@securetty_) reported

    @Eizy1337 @signalapp @keyboardofGeoff I have this problem too.

  • realPOTUS2018 Full Name (@realPOTUS2018) reported

    @kurth2909 @lux_hur @signalapp Does not help. Not everyone uses iPhones. Obsolete comment. Add live location as all other messaging apps!

  • DesignBywaqas Waqas Jibran 🇵🇰🇹🇷 (@DesignBywaqas) reported

    @sagarkul90 @signalapp @wevrare i have this issue and it's very annoying

  • Dai_Hael Yeni (@Dai_Hael) reported

    @signalapp I dont get any notifications on my desktop app (mac) ... what could be the problem ? notifications under preferences are on but i still dont get any ... help :)

  • GuardaWallet Guarda (@GuardaWallet) reported

    @sales_bitcoin @signalapp Our team is working on the issue at this very moment - as soon as everything is fixed, you'll see a notification in your wallet.

  • NourddineAfra Nou A (@NourddineAfra) reported

    @signalapp Hi, today I received this message from this number with Amzon alias.. I didn't opened this message because is suspected @signalapp @moxie please can you help me to understand what's this. Tanks

  • brendanquinn Brendan Quinn (@brendanquinn) reported

    @danbri @signalapp I got a new phone with a new number recently, did an iOS transfer from the old phone, and Signal worked fine keeping my contacts and history. It's still registered under my old phone number but I'm planning to keep it (via Twilio) so hopefully that won't be a problem...

  • ernmander ernmander (@ernmander) reported

    @O2Co2Tr @signalapp If Signal have informed Apple of the bug Apple will probably fix it in the next iOS update.

  • dunxen Duncan (irc:sunon) (@dunxen) reported

    @moliellama @signalapp @wevrare If someone already has your number, you might have worse privacy problems. Plus the more people that use signal, the less it matters that your contact can see you use Signal.

  • Asenov56 Nikolay Asenov (@Asenov56) reported

    Hey @signalapp, when trying sending videos 2+ minutes long in a group chat, it doesn’t allow me, resulting in errors.

  • 0xJoey Joey (@0xJoey) reported

    @signalapp ssignal is down in China..S

  • MathPiPsi MathPi (@MathPiPsi) reported

    @signalapp hey Signal, how come every time I video chat a lag grows and the call becomes so laggy we have to restart? We don't have this issue with other apps.

  • Eukodol Naked Lunch (@Eukodol) reported

    @signalapp No doubt. I should trust sharing my bank name, account name and coordinates, right here, should not be an issue?

  • Eizy1337 Jan (@Eizy1337) reported

    @signalapp @keyboardofGeoff My friend on android doesn‘t get notifications. But he has them allowed. Reinstalling didn‘t help either. He is using an One Plus phone.

  • BrooksRose15 Brooks Rose (@BrooksRose15) reported

    @chenweihua @onlyyoontv @signalapp Chen! You silly goose. Stop lying. My friend's brother's uncle tried to use it in Shanghai on Tuesday and said its shut down. Now, let Jack Ma have his media back!

  • apjyotirmay Apurv (@apjyotirmay) reported

    @zer0days_ @wevrare @signalapp You can say, "trust issues"

  • qweqaz520 方晶 (@qweqaz520) reported

    @signalapp The login method is only a phone number, no email assistance?the verification code cannot be received

  • moliellama m (@moliellama) reported

    @sakeblues @signalapp @session_app same, though i am trying to make heads or tails of the aussie back door privacy laws issue

  • mrigendrachaub2 mrigendra chaubey (@mrigendrachaub2) reported

    @signalapp @JamesBrandreth One issue I face on ubuntu 18.04 is syncing. It takes a lot of time to sync 500+ messages.

  • 0xJoey Joey (@0xJoey) reported

    @signalapp Signal is down in China...

  • omynuts sqrl.eth ⟠ (@omynuts) reported

    @signalapp @isabels_moment its useful because if you make a m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ error while typing, you can strikethrough and type again without deleting the message and leaving the person guessing what it was you deleted

  • apjyotirmay Apurv (@apjyotirmay) reported

    @AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp Yes it is, but it also means a publicly available code is open for scrutiny, improvements and patches. They have taken a stand on why they can't make the service self-hosted. In similar fashion they need to own this, instead of ignoring all questions.

  • D_Avinash_K Avinash Kodavalla (@D_Avinash_K) reported

    @signalapp, Sending messages is slow using mobile but fast using Desktop App in Windows 10. I think there needs to be some optimization done for msgs to send. (Note: I have good Internet speed with low latency - So not Internet issue).

  • natural_2718_ln なにがし (@natural_2718_ln) reported

    @signalapp Starting signal, the lock of signal(using my fingerprint registered by my smartphone) sometimes precedes my smartphone's lock. Hence, sometimes I can't operate my smartphone. Which causes this trouble, signal app or my smartphone...?

  • apjyotirmay Apurv (@apjyotirmay) reported

    @AlexUnnervik @Its_Randeep21 @signalapp It can't be verified entirely, but to an extent it can be since the build will be reproducible, and there will be inconsistencies. Thought the real problem here is that they aren't even answering the question as to why they changed their stance on making it public.
