  • SiriusArani Uschi (@SiriusArani) reported

    @iammrkt @signalapp What is complex about it? You click "backup" and write down the key.

  • mohit61602 Mohit Jalan (@mohit61602) reported from Golāghāt, Assam

    @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp The problem is that @signalapp is new compared to other apps plus it is an app run by a foundation so they dont have that hefty pile of money like its competitors even after all these they are trying their best we should give them sometime.

  • mohit61602 Mohit Jalan (@mohit61602) reported from Golāghāt, Assam

    @signalapp I am with u guys. There are some problems in the app we all know but I am waiting for the problems to solve right now my main concern is how will u manage to take all new connections on board bcoz the old users are also facing some issues.

  • Hifzu Hifzur Rahman (@Hifzu) reported

    @signalapp Still not able to update my security pin code. Please help.

  • 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

  • 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...

  • ipinak Giannis Pinakoulakis (@ipinak) reported

    @aloukissas @signalapp All systems can suffer from similar issues. Scalability has nothing to do with the language itself. You can build systems in erlang that cannot scale in the same way as you would with Java. Recently google was rendered unusable, which has no correlation with the language used.

  • law4all3 Realist (@law4all3) reported

    @Cyb3rGh @blackcordit @signalapp No they don’t everyone has free text messages and there’s a reason I don’t use WhatsApp it’s not about being alpha my friends have joined signal those who didn’t can make an effort when they need to speak to me simple likewise I text and call them I don’t have an issue !

  • djdnnbjznz djdnnbjznz. (@djdnnbjznz) reported

    @signalapp Just installed signal on iPhone. Also installed the Mac app but the contacts and chats don’t sync to my M1 Mac when I try to link the two. Is this a server issue?

  • 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.

  • mxrxwnn mrwn (@mxrxwnn) reported

    @Kei0x @heyDivyanshu @signalapp I swear its always these ignorant ***** that think fixing bugs and errors or adding features is as easy as a b c.

  • iammrkt existentialist (@iammrkt) reported

    @signalapp Noting down a 20 digit long key and punching it back again ?You don't think that's complex?

  • Keyingin a h m a d (@Keyingin) reported

    Dear @signalapp people are leaving @whatsapp on privacy issue & they might leave you for spamming Everyone is joining Signal is great news, but why do I need to compulsorily be notified about it & notification stays as message on my timeline? Regular chats are 100+ places down
