Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Eason Chai (@easonchaiii) reported@theonejvo @signalapp seems like a reoccurring issue with people getting into vibecoding
-
Mikko Rantalainen (@mtrantalainen) reported@Elminster04 @signalapp Yes, but you shouldn't give any extra credit for perfect grammar either. ChatGPT et al can fix grammar of any phishing message if scammers just bothered to do that. Currently bad grammar works as a filter to continue phishing attack with the most gullible victims only.
-
SheLiveth (@SheLiveth) reported@signalapp @Longtstanding Hegseth in trouble
-
David (@DavidRenoNV) reported@GuntherEagleman @US_Minitrue @signalapp needs to shut them out of the service. They’re engaged in illegal activity.
-
ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@tenohtoo) reported@Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp
-
Ambler (@AmblerKR) reported@signalapp @bluesky @joinmastodon Also, login should be possible without a phone number. Users should be able to sign in with either an email address or their handle.
-
croix (@taintcroix) reported@signalapp appears to be down!
-
Avitus (@Avitus2187) reported@nyakojiru @mer__edith @signalapp 6. **Mandatory IP protection**: Built-in Tor (or equivalent) for every connection, non-disableable. This would severely degrade the service. Just use a VPN.
-
Adarsh (@heyadarsha) reported@kanavtwt Problem is not with @signalapp. They just seem to be caught in the OS cross-fire.
-
Beyond AI (@BeyondAI01) reported@signalapp If the infrastructure and encryption of Signal remain uncompromised, then this is a social engineering problem, not a platform breach. User awareness is the real defense here.
-
Mark Hissink Muller (@markhm) reportedHi @signalapp. On iOS you ask for my recovery key as a reminder. This makes no sense to me. Either I still have it or I don't. If I don't have it anymore, your reminder will not help. What am I missing?
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@marchofer @signalapp Not so fast. There's a Signal issue here.
-
Angela Steffens (she/her) (@wonderwomancode) reported@JasonCoombsCEO @mer__edith @signalapp You and I will never see eye to eye. You can watch a video of a guy trying to help a woman shoved over by thugs dressed like law enforcement who are massively untrained for the task at hand and then being shot in the back after he was disarmed and just say well stay at home. Seriously you are the problem.

Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
Tony Losego (@Titalus) reported@gg8866401 @signalapp A proper execution would fix all of this.
-
CKR (@CKRSandra) reported@signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp What if your family was silenced by a government? Iranians are being killed in the dark, unable to call for help. You have the power to help. Will you stand with them? #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran
-
اقا ممدِ گل (@mmadhasgone) reported@signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.

Iroko OKAPI 🇫🇷🇪🇺☢️🇺🇦🧌🐍🎼 (@IrokoOkapi) reportedThe issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp
-
William Entriken (@fulldecent) reported@ZainanZhou @signalapp Signal could design this product to create accounts without a phone number. It would better follow their "Privacy First" mission. But they didn't do that. And they don't publish a lengthy blog on this contradiction. This is an unforced error.
-
psymin (@psymin) reported@signalapp is down?
-
Adrian (@push_ip) reported@cb_doge - X owns your keys - no forward secrecy - UX is terrible How about you use a properly secure app - @signalapp
-
Tim (@timderoode) reported@durov @durov the early OTF grants (2013-2016) for @signalapp are publicly documented. This might create a perception issue for its independence but doesn’t prove active/ongoing US gov backing or influence. Or you have other information?
-
长春意霖 (@Diarchyznk56) reported@__am_________ @signalapp need #signalproxy，help me
-
LindaRN (@LindaG_RN) reported@0hour1 @DaleSulliv94781 Good! @signalapp needs to do the same or they should be shut down completely.
-
Dark Lord Pika (@cryptoguideen) reported@JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.
-
sudo rm -rf ~/DiagonalCiso / Global Cyber Security (@CisoDiagonal) reported@0CyberWarrior0 @signalapp I never had that issue, it asked for it once a month orso. Untill last/this week.
