  @signalapp Signal does not receive messages or notifications until it is opened. None of the suggested options on your site to resolve this type of issue works. Most people around here who use different phones complain of this same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Kindly rectify it.

  @b50 One more thing... Transiting from WhatsApp was easy due to @signalapp 's simple interface. Had it given a terrible user experience, we would not even consider it an option. So, thanks to them.

  @kavinbm @telegram @signalapp He's right. The only means for such Indian apps to succeed is to have western apps banned. That's the effect of globalisation. It can't be stopped. Whoever offers a better product wins, no matter from which part of the world that service is offered from.

  @signalapp Hey guys, I’m experiencing an issue where my contacts who are on Signal aren’t showing up on my iOS device but they are there on Android. I tried turning On/Off the contact access but that didn’t work. @signalapp

  @signalapp Why not publish a root cause analysis report for the outage?

  @signalapp We need the internet to help us, not rule us. Data privacy is a basic right. #SignalApp

  @ShivAroor @signalapp The thing that users don’t understand is be it WhatsApp or Signal, privacy will always be a problem bcoz these are good platforms for corporates to do targeted advertisement. It’s just a matter of time. Digital platforms has all our details we have given out voluntarily.

  @signalapp I had a different side effect where the app was crashing so I had to uninstall and reinstall. I didn’t have much history which is fine, but could be a problem for people who had history. Thought I would put my issue here.

  The @signalapp messaging app says it has resolved the technical problems that had plagued it over the past few days, after a flood of new users downloaded the service.

  @signalapp Would we see these error messages if we missed a message? Could we have missed one with no warning? (Or were they ignoring me) 😝

  Nick (@SenselessEarth) reported 37 minutes ago

  @Vamsin2000 @signalapp Terrible idea. Security and end to end encryption is the point of signal. Adding features such as payment or anything else that does not give signal full control of security diminishes the idea of the app. You want payments and other features? Use the other apps. I want privacy

  Opening @signalapp these days shows like 20 new friends each time - lol and good. Problem is, I tried using it exclusively previously and it just isn’t as nice as @whatsapp - don’t miss this opportunity tho Signal!

  @Exallium @sweetkhanpk100 @signalapp This does not resolve the issue at all. Most people around me here who use different phones experience the same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Other messaging apps are working fine. This needs to be rectified

  @JoshuaWeigert @signalapp Their user base has increased more than 10fold in such a short period of time. Their servers are having a hard time. They are working on a fix. All they need is a little bit of time and support.🙏 Please support @signalapp, it's the golden standard in terms of privacy.

  @signalapp Calls is not working in uae why?

• 
  Anirudh Garudangiri (@anirudh_g) reported 51 minutes ago

  @signalapp @signalapp With the number of new subscribers increasing exponentially, you might want to temporarily turn off the new joiner notification (which comes up in the app as a new chat btw). This might help reduce the load on the server with the influx of new subscribers.

  Jessevd (@Jessevd) reported 58 minutes ago

  @dfilskov @subhav_sharma @signalapp AFAIK messages are still relayed through their servers, but data is encrypted from end to end so they cannot be read. I don't know of any P2P service like that.
