  • iamssantoosh santosh (@iamssantoosh) reported

    @kavinbm @telegram @signalapp I am shocked and sad too. Why shut down ???

  • drl David Lewis (@drl) reported

    @quentinnield @telegram @signalapp Problem is always going to be, messaging apps are only useful if the majority of your contacts use it. While I share your concerns about FB, I don’t have many contacts on Signal or Telegram yet.

  • SinghRavvi Ravinder Singh (@SinghRavvi) reported

    @signalapp hi, I am and my friends are having technical problems. First, when someone calling to me there is no ringtone, and no ringtone on video calling too. On video call, it drains the phone battery quickly. Please look...

  • Nettack Tobias Wozniak (@Nettack) reported

    @Cyb3rGh @elitesharpcode @signalapp You can't be 100% safe. But something being open source gives people more savvy to the topic than you and me to catch errors before they go into production. With closed source the best case is, it goes unnoticed. The worst case is they talk one game and play another.

  • vinaykant_g vinaykant guleria (@vinaykant_g) reported

    @signalapp in county calls are connecting but international calls are not going through, need help.

  • SaiKrishna7090 Sai Krishna (@SaiKrishna7090) reported

    Can we have a 24 hrs status feature like Whatsapp in signal, because it's very useful to few people who post the information (seeking for help from there contact's) @signalapp @moxie

  • poolsclosedtho outa my way! I'm a HUMAN! (@poolsclosedtho) reported

    @redyennefer @signalapp Yes. they do. Why would you help them? I never met activists who thought phones were a good idea and yet you are advocating people id themselves with there real numbers? Usually i'd say you were naive but the attack makes you seem just malicious.

    @Cyb3rGh @elitesharpcode @signalapp That being said: more code = more errors due to higher complexity.

  • aryadimple5 DumplingofHoot (@aryadimple5) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I need those messages.. please help... That is the most important memory I have of someone..

  • DeepXP Deep Ganatra (@DeepXP) reported

    @hardik @telegram @signalapp Issue is not notifications. Issue is, the chat screen gets full with these people and shows unread count for those. No read all option too.

  • Gingko_fr Gingko Biloba (@Gingko_fr) reported

    @signalapp During the outage, I got more than 2000 "Error processing incoming message" from one single user. How can I clear all of them at once without having to delete them one by one ?

  • fundmentalistic Irshad (@fundmentalistic) reported

    @ststcccccc @signalapp Already tried that. Not working

  • Hifzu Hifzur Rahman (@Hifzu) reported

  • touchxpass Blue Sunshine (@touchxpass) reported

    @signalapp Well seems like you weren't ready for millions of sign up requests in such a short time. Still have problem signing up; no text or calls received

  • KrayloAdaraan Kraylo Adaraan (@KrayloAdaraan) reported

    @signalapp If you want more features, etc., etc., the people that work hard on this project need to be able to feed themselves while continuing their great work on this free service.

    @signalapp To everyone joining @signalapp right now. Great! Welcome! Before you complain, condemn, or criticize, put your money where your mouths are. A service that respects your privacy, doesn't monetize you, and doesn't demand payment, relies entirely on donations from its user base.

  • richblumer Rich Blumer (@richblumer) reported

    @signalapp hey, I am new to your app & love it so far. I am a former #WhatsApp user. I'd like to make Signal my default text app. However when I do that, it has issues receiving pics from non-Signal users via MMS unless I turn off WiFi. Pls advise on how I can resolve. Thx!

  • venusdevotee2 venus devotee 🌺 (@venusdevotee2) reported

    @signalapp hey signal, love the app but I'm having a little problem with some of my messages. everybody in our group chat sends and receives messages fine except for one of our members whose texts we receive in dms as "bad encrypted message" :( is there any way you can help?

  • ptrmlr pete (@ptrmlr) reported

    @signalapp I'm still having lots of issues in a group thread, and that reset option looks like it's only in the 1on1 chats. Looks like some ppl are able to send msgs but none of mine shows as delivered.

  • luisTysson Luís Oliveira (@luisTysson) reported

    @signalapp I know you are very busy right now, but can you tell how to fix Signal for Mac not being able to import contacts and groups from iPhone? Shows an error after a few seconds. Cheers

  • HarireddyNaini HariReddy N (@HarireddyNaini) reported

    Hey Team, Migrated @WhatsApp @wa_status to @signalapp Can you help me out to transfer chats?

  • BoneYar90648668 BoneYard (@BoneYar90648668) reported

    @signalapp Get your **** together Signal. Your service is unreliable at the moment.

  • CantillonEffet Effet Cantillon (@CantillonEffet) reported

    Thanks your bringing your service back @signalapp ! I've donated using @Lastbit debit card using Bitcoin Lightning Network to fund the card. Please start accepting Bitcoin donations using @BtcpayServer sometime soon...
