Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Spritz (@SpritzChat) reported@zchat_app @signalapp 👏👏👏 💯 right! That's why Spritz Chat is built differently, so this issue can't happen here!
-
ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@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
-
angelina.jolie (@jolieangel2323) reported@signalapp Phishing exploits human error, not encryption. Always safeguard your PINs and codes, and use secure, privacy-first messaging tools to stay protected.
-
iknowatchamacallit (@justichidi) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks If your child is seeing porn on your phone, fix your life. If your child is seeing porn on their device, you're failing your child.
-
pnouɹɐℲ (@TashiTushe) reportedDamn, I didn’t know this!!! @signalapp Might fully move from Telegram to Signal at this point. My main issue with TG has always been the scammy bots/games and the fact msg aren’t encrypted by default unless you manually use Secret Chat. Other than that, it’s honestly a great and complete app
-
هدوء قلب (@NewQuietY) reported@signalapp When creating a new account on a different phone, the verification code does not arrive. I don't know why. Please solve this problem.
-
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?
-
Bruno (@BrunoZP) reported@signalapp Agreed — that’s just dumb. They’re creating new issues instead of fixing the one.
-
AlmightyA (@AlmightyAye) reported@Mandy03567961 @signalapp Shutting it down in the face of a criminal demand like this is submission and accepting defeat. This situation needs people openly and proudly defying it, while calling it what it is, and that's a human rights violation.
-
Bitchard (@Bitchard11) reported@signalapp We already know they don't care about kids. They help kill kids in palestine. This isnt about kids.
-
AmiR Rashidi (@Ammir) reportedFirebase Phone Number Verification going GA matters far beyond developer convenience. In countries like #Iran, where SMS verification codes are often blocked or unreliable, SMS-less phone verification could help users register for secure apps — if adopted by apps like @signalapp.
-
Jason Kling (@cloudnine1080) reported@signalapp 0 trust is the way. Demons can slip in and out of souls and can potentially cause a number of issues. We should “try” to give people cyber security on their devices with select individuals granted scanning access with AI tools.
-
thunder (@thunder2585) reported@Shahinlooo Families in Iran cannot even confirm whether their loved ones are safe. This blackout is dangerous. Help people of Iran by sending Starlink🆘🆘 @Meta @Signalapp #IranMassacre #DigitalBlackoutIran #KingRezaPahlavi
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.
-
Tristan 🦦 (@TristandeAlwis) reported@signalapp Handing over login credentials to “support” is an intelligence test at this point.
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reportedSignal keeps nagging to enable push notifications, with no way to stop the nags. User-hostile not user-first, and now shown to be insecure. Please fix both bugs: allow nag-stopping, an easy fix; and (if you can) avoid insecure iOS-layer push notification database, @signalapp!
-
calle (@callebtc) reportedPSA: purchased a phone number for @signalapp registration at @smspoolnet but the number got re-sold to a scammer else after 3 months. that person took over the signal account. super dangerous. terrible service guarantee by smspool and dangerous auth practice by signal . basically sim swapping without the social engineering. not your phone network, not your number (you can't own a mobile number).
-
Stephen Ballion (@mountainofspoon) reported@femalepencil Because it’s owned by @Meta which is a terrible company - try @signalapp
-
Shaeno (@Shaenooo) reported@signalapp Isn't your app in the top 3 for hosting CP? Not surprised you have a problem with this
-
محسن رفیق گجر (@MohsenRafeq) reported@signalapp Why signal signups are not working in Pakistan? We tried on multiple devices and every time there is a network issue error.
-
GALF🇺🇦 I only simp for NAFO (@GalfPlays) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks "we need to shoot all dogs to safeguard children from dog attacks" - that's stupid it won't help "What do you suggest then????" This is you. Wanna shoot all dogs?
-
Nemesis (@lov24751) reported@topicswithatee @signalapp It has nothing to do with the kids as a parent i dont wont any govt thinking they can do better. Have to be lazy as **** useless trash if want the govt nosing around pretending watching ur kids for you. Shuting down the kids ability to think for them selfs growing the sheep
-
Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Ghost (@dietrichBonh) reported@signalapp Idk. I’m almost always on the side of more privacy but jr this can’t help a lot of children from unimaginable horrors it doesn’t look bad to me. I would suffer any inconvenience for that.
-
Mark12-17 ✝️🇮🇱 🇺🇸 (@Mark1217000) reported@signalapp time for global platforms like youre to stand up and refuse these scumbags , if all do that then they will be forced to back down else they will go into the dark ages
-
TriGremlin (@TriGremlin) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks Who gives a ****, just don’t give your kid a phone. Not our problem.
-
Dom (@dom_de_la_rose) reported@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks its not hard to lock down a phone to the most basic of functions are you that retarded?
-
miguel (@Miguelwtfzu) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem
-
Wild Kore (@thewildkore) reportedSignal is wild. I send a message and it arrives to the other person whenever Signal feels like it. Real-time messaging? More like 'eventually messaging.' WhatsApp with all its problems at least delivers in the present tense. @signalapp fix it
-
ARQ (@ARQ1481987) reported@chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?
-
MeanHash ₿ ✪ (@MeanHash) reportedSo @signalapp what the play here? Can't bow down to this rule.
