Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • caiovmf Caio Faustino (@caiovmf) reported

    @iateyourmic @AielloBrady @signalapp This might be a stupid question, but does Compose help with this problem by having the runtime embedded in the APK instead of using the system UI?

  • lmarino Lori Marino (@lmarino) reported

    @signalapp I manage a large Signal group and many users are experiencing repeated Captcha verification requests. Is this a known issue?

  • CergaMihai Sebastian-Mihai Cergă (@CergaMihai) reported

    @benadida @WhatsApp @signalapp The issues here are not about the comm. channel, but about where the data is stored afterwards. Hospitals are severely understaffed or have low priority in their budgets for IT sec. As usual, telemedicine is not a problem of the tech, but how people would use or ABUSE the data.

  • otokoshiro OtokoShiro (@otokoshiro) reported

    Hey @signalapp I read there could be a URI spoofing flaw. What are you doing to fix it?

  • bellja747 ¢k₹¥₱t∅ (@bellja747) reported

    @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Long time Signal user and advocate here; yeah I agree it's a problem. I propose they set up an ignore tag that can remove individual entries from contacts during sync, and simultaneously hide your own number from that same contact. I'm not an experienced coder though.

  • CinnamonMelody2 25&union 🌻 (@CinnamonMelody2) reported

    @ghazalairshad @signalapp You don't have to hold down in signal you just move the indicator where you want it to play. You can go out of the app and it's still playing.

  • FlamityYT Flamity (@FlamityYT) reported

    @signalapp The app has been crashing on my iPhone XS immediately on startup for days now after updating! I sent my crash log to your support email but it seems lots of people are having this issue. I myself have experienced this twice now. Will this be a reoccurring issue? 😓

  • iateyourmic Adam Bennett (@iateyourmic) reported

    @caiovmf @AielloBrady @signalapp In the particular instance I mentioned it's implemented with OCR so that wouldn't help

  • rosshiGB 💙🌹 ** 🌹💙 🇵🇸#Free_Palestine🇵🇸 (@rosshiGB) reported

    @signalapp I AM NOT updating your #Signal_desktop app for Win10 as EVERY-TIME I do It appears to work fine & then is erased on re-boot & then has to be reinstalled from scratch FIX your RUBBISH coding thank you

  • hacks4pancakes Lesley Carhart (@hacks4pancakes) reported

    @runasand @signalapp The real issue is the converse though and I don’t think you can turn that off.

  • ThreeperMarine ThreeperMarine (@ThreeperMarine) reported

    @signalapp my app is not working , I can not send messages to group chats

  • aloukissas Alex Loukissas (@aloukissas) reported

    @callmehouck @signalapp but with wallet login instead of phone

  • thlosh Thlosh (@thlosh) reported

    @eyefnwin_RG @signalapp I don't see a problem here, because via DM I was just asked to use the support function within the app, which I did. And regarding the push notifications: as I understand it, they are already working on this problem. I personally hope for a solution in one of the next versions.

  • Rakibul8134 Rakibul Hoque (@Rakibul8134) reported

    @signalapp Signal is down great

  • chronohart Chrono Hart (@chronohart) reported

    @signalapp Note: I understand there is a setting to disable the notification, but it's enabled by default and it only disables incoming, not outgoing. Doesn't solve the privacy issue either way.

  • drwolfff drwolf.crypto ⚡️ (@drwolfff) reported

    @hacks4pancakes @signalapp I respectfully disagree that notifications are a privacy issue because you can see all of your contacts in the app anyway. However, if you said linking signal to a phone number is a privacy issue I would agree 100%.

  • CD_R0M_ CD-R0M 🇺🇦 (@CD_R0M_) reported

    @bohops @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Oh wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

  • ReanimationXP ReanimationXP 🅛 (95%) 🔜 TBD【=◈︿◈=】█▓▒░ (@ReanimationXP) reported

    @drwolfff @hacks4pancakes @signalapp The privacy issue might be the information that you use the app at all, not just that it's aware of your contact list.

  • RaymondDurk Raymond Durk (@RaymondDurk) reported

    @JeremyRubin @signalapp @moxie Snapchat has a similar issue. Some of my friends have asked why I fall out of contact with them and don't engage as much and it's because their face disappears below the fold and I don't scroll down unless I need that person. It's my lazy version of the Myspace Top 8.

  • julfreitag Julian Freitag (@julfreitag) reported

    @signalapp Since yesterday, I can’t use Signal on my iPhone 13 Pro anymore. Every time I open the app it automatically closes after some seconds. Furthermore, I can’t receive new messages. On my Mac app, however, everything works. Restarted all devices already. Pls help 🙏

  • alienghic alienghic@octodon.social (@alienghic) reported

    @AlecMuffett @signalapp Yes XMPP's spam problems are more manageable because it's not all that popular, and it would probably be better for everyone if big commercial services didn't fully open. But XMPP does show that it's certainly possible to add new features to a federated system.

  • AzerothAuditor The Azeroth Auditor (@AzerothAuditor) reported

    @deoan_thall @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Overall to block and delete a conversation, that saves 3 clicks, from 9 down to 6. So that's helpful, thank you - no idea you could click on the profile pic to select a block that way. Still... block and delete from there would be a nice option, confirm both in one click.

  • Moon_Crater1 Moon 🇵🇸 (@Moon_Crater1) reported

    @signalapp hi.. problems with signal? Messages are not going through. ( remains 1 rtick for ages). Have checked all settings. Notifications, volumes, Permissions, Never sleep mode etc etc..

  • phroobin Ruben Alexander (@phroobin) reported

    @signalapp is Signal down? None of my messages are sending and am trying to work out if it's the app or my provider!

  • koobs Kubilay Kocak (@koobs) reported

    @mostly_bsd @signalapp @FreeBSDHelp That specific config doesn’t (they are for in jail port bulding commands). I don’t know how far you can get for poudriere root. At least jail creation needs root, but I’ve never tried. See how far you get? Also you can jail poudriere, which might help?

  • Whatsthe1990 What's this (@Whatsthe1990) reported

    @signalapp I have problem with Verification, can't recive code, please help, I've tried everything

  • McCroden Stuart McCroden (@McCroden) reported

    @alexisohanian Get him on @signalapp so you can see better resolution images! SMS/MMS messages are terrible for pics.

  • harshitkadhao harshit kadhao (@harshitkadhao) reported

    @signalapp i have currently upgrade my phone to android 12 and i am having trouble getting notification sound when a message come. I have tried everything like installing again from playstore, checking the notification settings. But its still the same. Can you help me on this?

  • BFSingh Brian F. Singh (@BFSingh) reported

    You know one problem with the internet? Too many tech bros. Only tech bros can find it acceptable that gay men are bombarded with female porn bots on @instagram and similar engagement platforms. @signalapp is now becoming a sewer for this too.
