Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • StarNano2 StarNano (@StarNano2) reported

    @signalapp Is the server down for users in CN?

  • kurth2909 Kurt Hackenberg (@kurth2909) reported from Froideville, Canton de Vaud

    @lyckaform @signalapp Yes I do know that. And do you know that Siri runs as much as possible locally on your device, and if it relies on servers, it does so anonymously? So theoretically, there’s not a big problem with that... sure if you use Google assistant or Alexa, yes there is a privacy concern..

  • Eizy1337 Jan (@Eizy1337) reported

    @signalapp @keyboardofGeoff My friend on android doesn‘t get notifications. But he has them allowed. Reinstalling didn‘t help either. He is using an One Plus phone.

  • 1WorriedIndian Save India from Fascists (@1WorriedIndian) reported

    @signalapp attaching a photo in chat is extremely painful it does not show the already existing photos in the phone.. what is the issue ? or am I doing wrong?

  • strangfeld_io Marvin Strangfeld (@strangfeld_io) reported

    @kurth2909 @signalapp What Apple says and what they really do can be two different things. The problem is that you have no way to verify their statements because their software isn't open source. For the best privacy possible you don't want to trust, you want proofs.

  • natural_2718_ln なにがし (@natural_2718_ln) reported

    @signalapp Starting signal, the lock of signal(using my fingerprint registered by my smartphone) sometimes precedes my smartphone's lock. Hence, sometimes I can't operate my smartphone. Which causes this trouble, signal app or my smartphone...?

    @pankomputerek @signalapp @isabels_moment Just tap on the little camera in the chat box and hold down the shutter button

  • noclipsetto1 vibing at 3am (@noclipsetto1) reported

    @buchwasa @NadeshikoKagami @signalapp That something has been sent *and* who’s sent it to whom, also there is the issue of metadata but I don’t have enough knowledge on that subject. My point is you can’t put all your trust (or your info) in a single app.

  • plmorpheus Przemek Malik 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇵🇱 (@plmorpheus) reported

    @signalapp is there any issue with your app on iOS? When I try to send photo and use system share button I don’t see you app in suggestions, and I even cannot add your app. I must open your app and send from it... iOS 14.4.1

  • MrCrypto008 xM. Crypto (@MrCrypto008) reported

    @signalapp You forgot two with privacy by default. @monero and @HavenXHV 🤔 Can you please fix that?

  • GuardaWallet Guarda (@GuardaWallet) reported

    @sales_bitcoin @signalapp Our team is working on the issue at this very moment - as soon as everything is fixed, you'll see a notification in your wallet.

  • omynuts sqrl.eth ⟠ (@omynuts) reported

    @signalapp @isabels_moment its useful because if you make a m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ error while typing, you can strikethrough and type again without deleting the message and leaving the person guessing what it was you deleted

  • NicoleY57427293 Nicole Yu (@NicoleY57427293) reported

    @signalapp Hi signal, if has you been blocked in mainland China? I can’t receive sms to verify ytd. If can get some help?

  • Eukodol Naked Lunch (@Eukodol) reported

    @signalapp No doubt. I should trust sharing my bank name, account name and coordinates, right here, should not be an issue?

  • DaOverwatch Overwatch 👀 | Da Lazy Programmer (@DaOverwatch) reported

    @signalapp @isabels_moment Hey @signalapp I have problem with the app in OPPO A32. If I am not in the app. I don't receive messages. When I open the app I receive all the messages at once. Why is that? Works fine for me in Samsung Galaxy.

  • Asenov56 Nikolay Asenov (@Asenov56) reported

    Hey @signalapp, when trying sending videos 2+ minutes long in a group chat, it doesn’t allow me, resulting in errors.
