Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • flaplette Janine 🌺 Flora (@flaplette) reported

    still kinda ****** up that @signalapp is so focused on the technical end of private comms, yet insists on "securely" uploading your contacts list in order to notify everyone who's got you in their own list that you made an account as if that's somehow not a massive privacy issue

  • RstarGVBG Rishabh Pandey (@RstarGVBG) reported

    @signalapp Messages not getting delivered from past 6 mins. Checked with 2 networks. Please update if any outage.

  • Does_not_mattr itDoesntMatter (@Does_not_mattr) reported

    @signalapp Sell you mansion. That’ll help the cause.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp Please fix the "cancel button". I barely brush against it, cancels Vns so easily😵‍💫. I'm wondering if you ppl use your own app!, because you'd find some of the most annoying finicky features, that could be improved

  • ElaboIain 🌱🌴🇲🇨Iain🌏Elabo 🇮🇩🌴🌱 (@ElaboIain) reported

    @signalapp having network issues with groups? I receive messages in groups if on my laptop but they aren't delivered on my mobile. Started about 12 hours ago.

  • milen_radkov Milen R. 🏴‍☠️ (@milen_radkov) reported

    @signalapp I want to know how you're preserving our privacy by utilizing 3rd party service like Google's reCaptcha? Also when usernames instead of phone number?

  • canllaith canllaith (@canllaith) reported

    @signalapp I have been trying to get support for a payment issue for two months now and I keep getting an auto reply that I can’t get support until I upgrade. There is no later version available in the App Store for my country.

  • bob_fnord Bob Fnord (@bob_fnord) reported

    @signalapp I don't care about that SMS issue but those popups asking for a donation recently are getting too much. I'm trying to keep people on the app. Please drive those messages down.

  • andymstone Andy Stone (@andymstone) reported

    @signalapp Also, what you call "putting it out there" is us sharing how ads on our service work. This is not a new page, nor is it new information. For example, we launched the "Why Am I Seeing This" ad tool in 2014.

  • UtahBoy6 Utah Boy (@UtahBoy6) reported

    @signalapp Having technical issues with your app. I use it for group chats with my company. One of my employees lost his old phone got a new one and won’t let him log into the app with new phone. Keeps saying network error.

  • MB60625824 M B (@MB60625824) reported

    @whatsabschalten @Yakima_Dan @signalapp Are you ******* retarded? Tag SMS threads as SMS. Tag encrypted threads as encrypted, problem solved. Without SMS Signal will not exist in 2 years.

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @hallam @moxie @signalapp No one said it was a simple problem. But it's a problem that should be openly acknowledged so the community can work on it. That did not happen because everyone wants to worship tor as the be all and end all and it's simply not- and the foundation needs own that and step aside.

  • bitlosophy Bitlosopher (@bitlosophy) reported

    @signalapp You are asking your users to donate and help. Thats fair. But you are not listening up to them. Not cool. Drop the “crypto”, dont alert users when joined in and if possible remove phone number (I understand this last one might be challenging) And then see the donations go up.

  • _cluxter_ cluxter (@_cluxter_) reported

    @signalapp Could we have an option that when we delete a message on one device it deletes it on all the devices? It's not just a pain in the *** to do it manually, it's also a security issue sometimes. I don't want my child's picture to appear and stay on my work laptop for example.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp @SatyaSibaNayak Fix the damn cancel button for voicenotes, so they don't cancel so easily

  • __simpleplan sleeping with sirens (@__simpleplan) reported

    @jova043 @tcely @signalapp Bro your literally stupid asf apple said they won't do it unless people are asking well now people are asking if you want unencrypted messages that's your problem

  • jarednxx Jared Lightning Monster ⚡️🚀 ID: c2136e594fa3658b (@jarednxx) reported

    Why is @signalapp adding “stories”. Maybe I’m not their core desires user… but a high performing encrypted direct and group messaging app that is easy to use is the purpose. No social media desired. If they are doing it to layer in ads… trust in the service will declined imo.

  • BHarker75 Brandon Harker (@BHarker75) reported

    @markbreal @signalapp I'm having the same problem

  • Larunos Kaen Nevar (@Larunos) reported

    @signalapp New Update added Creditcard to spend , i will do BUT only if they stabelized because messages only come in when you open the app Energie saver is off Push messages all on but i never become messages until i open the app , this problem after research are inside after years.

  • mer__edith Meredith Whittaker (@mer__edith) reported

    @LeeWoods650 @FortuneMagazine @signalapp Thanks for donating! We don't charge to use the service because not everyone can afford it, and privacy shouldn't be a luxury. The services is more useful the more people use it, so if my friend can't pay I shouldn't be prevented from talking to them privately.

  • IBuildPortals Relativity (@IBuildPortals) reported

    @dnaodan @signalapp It doesn't have SMS, so i move to another service without SMS... Big brain time.

  • lc_lol LC #ForzaAlex (@lc_lol) reported

    Hello @signalapp My phone has broken a month ago, and I had to replace it before I got it back. Now I'd like to restore my old messages but I also have newer ones on my new phone. Is it possible to merge the backup I did today from older phone within the newer messages ? Thanks.

  • Avishek_Khan Avishek Khan (@Avishek_Khan) reported

    @bblboy54 @signalapp Having a separate SMS app is going to be an American Android problem. On the iOS side, you have to install Signal anyway since iMessage to Signal is always SMS.

  • HeroinBobUK ****** Bob (@HeroinBobUK) reported

    @signalapp is there something wrong with mobile service? I've rebooted my phone several times, updated the app, now reinstalled the app (losing all my messages) and still not receiving messages . But desktop app working fine. :'(

  • dnaodan Dan (@dnaodan) reported

    @signalapp My D&D group moved off Signal because the loss of SMS meant one of the guys didn't want it on his phone anymore. So we all moved to Discord :-( We need to provide features that bridge the gap and help others to the better side. Not remove features that helped us move them.

  • zquestz Josh Ellithorpe (@zquestz) reported

    @signalapp Donations require you to listen to your users. We didn't want a crypto wallet. We didn't want stories. We want SMS support to remain in order to seamlessly upgrade users to secure conversations. Donations are down because you are failing your user base.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp I'd feel more COMFORTABLE, if you fix the "cancel" button for voicenotes, it's too big and easily engaged, throwing away a whole *** vn👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 DO... YOU.... USE..... YOUR...OWN....PRODUCT?

  • Larunos Kaen Nevar (@Larunos) reported

    @signalapp and that problem got all my friends its not only me. so it is save? can be because messages dosnt arrive.

  • pushingtweets 🇯🇲She been🇯🇲 (@pushingtweets) reported

    @signalapp I'll work for free...IF YOU FIX THE "CANCEL BUTTON"... it's toooo freeeeking HUGEEEEEE!!!, highly sensitive, causing my juicy voicenotes to be tossed awayyyyyy

  • sunknudsen Sun Knudsen (@sunknudsen) reported

    @irae @signalapp I agree and disagree… problem with Signal in the context of disappearing messages is one can easily loose track of message so many (including myself) take screenshots which is a horrible idea. Remind me in n minutes/hours could solve that problem… but there are trade-offs.
