  • dorota0989 Dorota (@dorota0989) reported

    @signalapp Could you please fix one bag of that I’ve reported to you many times? Voice messages disappear after 6 days, I can’t play them, they seem to be there, but I can’t play them, always after si6 days after receiving or sending them. Thank you.

    @MichaelMcandJC @signalapp You can't create a normal #Signal group? Any Errors?

  • AmandaMugford1 Amanda Mugford 〓〓 (@AmandaMugford1) reported

    @JimBinary @signalapp I've not experienced that problem, so don't really know how to help. Settings? Notifications?

  • klausjott Klaus "Chemtrails now!" Jott (@klausjott) reported

    @indutny @signalapp >>"If you are on version 5.35.0 or 5.36.0 - this is unfortunately expected." yeah...that was the problem!

  • adacable Ada (@adacable) reported

    @signalapp "oh **** I pasted PII into the main 300 person organising chat" is a real and easy to circumvent problem.

  • NoBelVignesh_ vignesh (@NoBelVignesh_) reported

    @signalapp my account is not working need support.

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @RihoKroll @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. Are you running 5.35.0 version of the Desktop app? If yes - this banner is unfortunately expected. I’d appreciate it if you could download the installer from the website and install over your existing app without uninstalling it. Sorry for trouble!

  • DavidChoiMusic David (@DavidChoiMusic) reported

    @signalapp very big bug...can't get past "Transfer Account & Messages" screen and gives verification code error when it's the right code

  • orblivion Dan (@orblivion) reported

    @lmatsakis @signalapp Ideally the NFTs should contain a hash of the artwork for integrity, and the artwork should be hosted in a way that won't ever go down (such as IPFS). But (according to this blog post) instead it just has a URL to a file that OpenSea controls.

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @TheRealRarog @signalapp Signal Desktop developer here. If you install over the existing app without uninstalling it - the data will be preserved. Sorry for the trouble!

  • JimBinary Jimmy the market (@JimBinary) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Strange. It's my friend it's not working for. Tried reinstalling and updating but still not sending messages?

  • BarstoolZ Zonker 🛑 Dir of Redirects🛑 (@BarstoolZ) reported

    @adacable @signalapp It was great a few days ago but it's crap now Unhandled Error RequestError: Timeout awaiting 'socket' for 300000ms at ClientRequest.<anonymous> ([REDACTED]\node_modules\got\dist\source\core\index.js)

  • Nikola_Truth Nikola Tesla’s Ghost 👻 (@Nikola_Truth) reported

    @TeslaHype @signalapp Fair enough, but I doubt Elon would have a problem with any of these things.

  • ntiuw Cingcing (@ntiuw) reported

    @signalapp hi Signal, i've been experiencing trouble where there are no new message notifications when someone sent me messages and the messages only appear when I open the chat room, how to fix this? thx

  • nabeel_co Nabeel Rahimpour (@nabeel_co) reported

    @signalapp the fact you can't transfer your signal messages from iOS to Android or back is such a stupid limitation, it's making me reconsider ever using Signal. How am I supposed to recommend Signal when it causes these kind of problems?

  • BashCo_ BashCo (@BashCo_) reported

    @Andrei08888888 @signalapp That doesn't address the issue I'm describing. Phone numbers are antiquated and overdue for innovation. You should be able to use a deterministic number (hash) for every new contact. Like a bitcoin wallet, but for phone numbers instead of addresses.

  • cho0b my name is driftwood (@cho0b) reported

    @0xdade @signalapp I didn't have any issues as far as I can tell. 🤔

  • sDefrees Sam DeF (@sDefrees) reported

    The King of Saudi Arabia hacked Jeff Bezos' **** picks & ppl seriously think running @signalapp or opening LN channels or any one product will solve the problem of state sponsored hacking, spying, defamation, & surveillance. We're not safe. We're not secure. We're not private.

  • harimandhanjal Hariman Dhanjal (@harimandhanjal) reported

    @signalapp I am unable to run signal on linux. i tried reinstalling it from the website, flatpak, software app(Running debian mint) but the scanner doesn't load(on the screen). can someone plz help me?

  • SamMerchant9 Sam Merchant (@SamMerchant9) reported

    @signalapp Just had to delete and reinstall Signal after it crashed. Lost all my data/pictures/videos. Painful! Never had this problem with WhatsApp.

  • naresnyan nanananadja (@naresnyan) reported

    @signalapp hey signal, are you down? is your support down? is there a way to reach somebody??

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @JimBinary @signalapp This is very bad. Because there are absolutely no known problems.

  • borolopezphoto Bᴏʀᴏ Lᴏᴘᴇᴢ (@borolopezphoto) reported

    @moxie @signalapp It’s 2 of April. Where’s the new CEO? What about the new features and fixes for old bugs? Please do not forget about the users. Some Android devices still having problems with wake notifications even after blocking battery optimisations. #WEB3 is jmportant but maintenance is more

  • BionicBeauty BionicB 🇺🇲 (@BionicBeauty) reported

    @starvingsteve @startpage @signalapp Well duh. I assumed people have the brains to pick a good VPN service. Thanks for the drop in. And whatever.

  • naresnyan nanananadja (@naresnyan) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp i have. i have a very specific and personal request. the problem is that nobody is reacting @signalapp

  • indutny 🇺🇦 indutny (@indutny) reported

    @Psychocrysma @signalapp Hello! Signal Desktop developer here. Sorry about the issue. The best way to fix it is to download the latest installer from the website and install over without uninstalling. Please let me know if you will run into anything!

  • BreakItUp3 Break Up DC (@BreakItUp3) reported

    @signalapp i use signal on android for SMS My wife used signal and reverted back to imessage for Iphone. Everyone on earth gets my sms except her... whats the issue?

  • kamerk22 Kashyap Merai (@kamerk22) reported

    10/ Use encrypted messaging apps 💬 Use a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging service. End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your intended recipient can view messages. Use #iMessage and @signalapp
