Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Adrenaline_Coin Verde 🛡️ (@Adrenaline_Coin) reported

    @LauraLoomer Abuse of power gone public. Next time lock @signalapp with each login that way no mistakes are made. 81 with a cell phone. Dangerous

  • ruanyuexin 阮 越新 (@ruanyuexin) reported

    Should the EU's chat control become law, then I hope that @signalapp will not comply with that law for as long as possible. I tried to send PGP encrypted messages to myself (with the help of a PGP tool). It does work but it's so awfully tiresome/exhausting.

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp Signal has terrible tech support. I've been trying to get help on a simple issue for over a month. Nothing. Repeated emails -- nothing. I was a big supporter. Not anymore.

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @gnukeith Yeah, it's also almost impossible to get support from @signalapp . I've been waiting over a month for a seemingly simple issue. A couple unhelpful robo responses that made it obvious no one had actually read my very detailed bug report.

  • Restgo Raúl Estrada González (@Restgo) reported

    @signalapp Could you help me to join Signal? I didn't receive my code.

  • xdevelnet xdevelnet (@xdevelnet) reported

    @signalapp Can you guyz just make reliable cross-device sync? Its not that hard to fix that

  • ilikenwf ilikenwf (@ilikenwf) reported

    @Matt_Bracken48 @signalapp's encryption is mathematically provably secure, though. It's the endpoint security and externally paired devices (like signal desktop) that's always the issue, because you'll never not generate metadata whether you're on a VPN that actually is private or not.

  • PrivacyMatters Privacy Matters  (@PrivacyMatters) reported

    Mobile coverage in rural Oxfordshire remains dire @Ofcom even with WiFi calling (which requires an expensive fixed broadband service). Got a call tonight / the quality was so dire we asked them to call us via the @signalapp & hey presto clear call quality. #RipOffMobileUK

  • itsfolf Folf (@itsfolf) reported

    @uwukko @horsemankukka @signalapp how does domain fronting help when for something like meta they can just block the entire AS

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp Could I PLEASE get some support on transferring to a new phone. I have followed all the steps you have emailed me (three times). I have sent a detailed problem description with error log. You robo-respond telling me to try the things I've tried many times. It's been almost a month now. C'mon folks. Help me out here.

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    @synthshareai @signalapp Since AIM shut down in 2017, there's no direct migration to Signal. If you have an old exported buddy list (e.g., CSV), manually add contacts via phone numbers or invites in the Signal app. Otherwise, reconnect individually—dial-up era to encrypted messaging!

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp Hey @signalapp when are you going to respond to my tech support request? Can't transfer the account from my old phone to my new one. Been trying to get help for two weeks now...

  • InvestRepeat Save Invest Repeat 📈 (@InvestRepeat) reported

    @JumboWin1 Very true. But its not about "why use"; ofcourse there are MUCH better alternatives like @signalapp or even better @SimpleXChat etc. WhatsApp has billions of active users and this post is about how they can atleast somewhat protect some privacy while in a Meta service.

  • sminmu 𝗦 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗺𝘆 (@sminmu) reported

    “to prevent ratcheting, an attacker must prevent 216 - 35 out of every 216 messages from being delivered. While this is not a complete denial of service, it requires blocking over 99.9% of messages ...” via @signalapp

  • tigran3rd Tigran ֍ (@tigran3rd) reported

    I want to build a new type of a social platform and open-source it @signalapp is up-to something, but they're not nearly as good as Telegram, or even some of the others we need to fix this

  • endusersupport CJustice (@endusersupport) reported

    @signalapp why is it so fvcking hard to pull up the qr code on my account so i can scan it on my new phone to sync my phone with my account? Wants me to make a @ username but wont take a random name i give it. Says there is an error. Its 2025 bro. Your shyt sucks.

  • HiboMan HiboMan (@HiboMan) reported

    @sin277 @KevinRiordan227 @signalapp They're charging money for their backup service instead of relying on donations like a non profit

  • horsemankukka Kukka de Bierguirb Häst (@horsemankukka) reported

    @uwukko @signalapp maybe the circumvention setting gives you a proxy automatically? but it's not available without login so the servers can't be burned with so little effort??

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp Signal has terrible tech support. I've been trying to get help on the simple issue of an account failing to transfer from one Android phone to another for over a month. Nothing. Repeated emails -- nothing. I was a big supporter. Not anymore.

  • rajat_vallabh RV (@rajat_vallabh) reported

    @dharmeshba @signalapp Asked the same to a Meta expert, he said if this brand-spam trend continues, WhatsApp could face the same fate as SMS. In the US, brand messaging approvals are already shut down, and India is expected to follow with tighter regulations soon.

  • Vianney2200 Vianney (@Vianney2200) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp my app isn’t sending code so I can login

  • RaWhoolVijay Rahul Vijay (@RaWhoolVijay) reported

    @signalapp ffs fix the keyboard hiding bug.. its bothering as hell.

  • gylik33_3 Glowie Conman - 4th POG(A) (@gylik33_3) reported

    @signalapp Hi. I think I might have found a problem with the donation mechanics. I had to create a new account and cannot stop my donations. Please provide me with a mail address to contact. xx

  • ScammoonR DefiOG.btc "SappyKing.arf" (@ScammoonR) reported

    @Jokpuruka2 @signalapp I forgot about that. not sure what the trouble is there if you do get a clean install of @signalapp gimme a shout else, i DO have to charge for my time, I wish i could just give it away, i truly do. wish you the best no matter where you land mate

  • Dodo13080274 🅳🄾🅳🄾 哆哆 𐤊|dodo.kas (@Dodo13080274) reported

    @auzghosty @kasiamessaging @signalapp Yes, the real issue is that ppl deserve the right to choose — not to be left with no options. We need privacy, governments want control, so let us choose: use privacy, or minimize/avoid apps that might compromise it.

  • allsighted sight (@allsighted) reported

    @yashypn0 @nyaskiez @signalapp but they saw it no problem so it cant be terrible

  • PitchforkOU Pitchfork Operators Union (@PitchforkOU) reported

    @BreannaMorello Use @signalapp. Problem solved.

  • jharohit Rohit Jha (@jharohit) reported

    @Arattai Curious - Why not go @signalapp route and let data be stored on consumer devices? Takes away the issue of data warehousing and privacy concerns. Also helps concerns that Govt might be accessing it (even though they might not be)

  • RabAlexander Rab Alexander (@RabAlexander) reported

    @signalapp Signal has the worst tech support you can imagine. I've been trying to get help on a simple issue for over a month. Nothing. I was a big supporter. Not anymore.
