    @TrialByTruth The source document says service providers are “obliged” but it’s not “mandatory” E2E encrypted messaging apps surely have nothing to worry about? Specially those built in the US, which they all pretty much are aka @signalapp

  • soumyajitbarua Soumyajit (@soumyajitbarua) reported

    @signalapp Where are new features and updates? Looks like you've slowed down with the decrease of heat🤦🏻. @signalapp

  • RoccoPzvicino Rocco V. (@RoccoPzvicino) reported

    @signalapp @lopp I am a dad, I had a small shop, now because of the covid I have nothing left. I just have a lot of debts. I'm not giving up, but I need help. who can and wants to help me can contact me. I am in Italy.

  • nirajtolia Niraj Tolia (@nirajtolia) reported from Los Altos, California

    @vj_chidambaram @WhatsApp Honestly, I am shocked that both my family and my wife’s moved over to @signalapp as quickly as they did (been a couple of months now). Most of them don’t even have a tech background but I did help by telling them why it was important.

  • chengwang88 Yicheng (@chengwang88) reported

    @signalapp Signal's service in China is break down, can you guys check it,

  • Syenta1 Syenta (@Syenta1) reported

    @signalapp with you and @Teleguard_ pushing out secure messaging apps it is being compromised by the lack of a secure keyboard. Can't the both of you, and other such companies, get together and design one? Or help Foss Openboard Keyboard to improve and make it more secure.

  • ThomasMizinduko Thomas Mizinduko (@ThomasMizinduko) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys there is one problem with your App ,since i have done update on it nowadays it appear at the top of my phone as if there is a new message but when i open there is no any new message .@signalapp correct this please .

  • alirezaimi alireza (@alirezaimi) reported

    @signalapp can't get any sms or call for registration or login in iran :((

  • Tvarijonas Tomas Tvarijonas (@Tvarijonas) reported

    @punkt @signalapp @moxie If you are doubling down on texting, please add non-English characters. Thąnk yoū!

  • ReaLKanhaiyaSir कन्हैया विश्वकर्मा 🇮🇳 (@ReaLKanhaiyaSir) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Signal For Help was typo error. It was only about signalApp.

  • CampingWeller Kevin Weller (@CampingWeller) reported

    @signalapp Will there be functionality to set a default chat background color? Your current system of changing colors is incredibly inaccessible for people with vision issues. Manually changing every contacts chat background color seems like a very unnecessary way of going about.

  • JamieLeeMLynch Jamie (@JamieLeeMLynch) reported

    @Experdiza @btwImAli @signalapp Huh 🤔 I wonder why? I have definitely been using it. Recently texted my IT guy and and he replied on signal. My only issue is I can’t seem to search in my string on my iPhone? No little dots in my right corner??

  • diegorellana_ Diego Orellana (@diegorellana_) reported

    @signalapp you are having issues with your servers?, couple days ago I lost lot of chats just like that, still don't know why.. also, chats was deleted in my contact's Signal too

  • aesparadox kitsch (@aesparadox) reported

    @Ceceliasama23 @signalapp I’m facing the same problem, but even with vpn it’s not working

  • rickmanelius Rick Manelius (@rickmanelius) reported

    Still, it's not a crazy idea and could serve a niche. Currently, the @signalapp is on iOS and Android, but we've seen apps taken down in the past. Or we've seen encrypted apps like Whatsapp get its security threatened by its parent company. This would eliminate that possibility.

  • ALSAQR_1111 الصقر (@ALSAQR_1111) reported

    @signalapp This error sometimes appears when registering again

  • secprentice Charlie Crane (@secprentice) reported

    @echo_pbreyer The source document you linked says service providers are “obliged” but it’s not “mandatory”. E2E messaging apps surely have nothing to worry about, specially those built in the US, which they all pretty much are? aka @signalapp

  • moeseoud Mohamad Saoud (@moeseoud) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys, when I have the chat group open and people send their text I still get the notification sound even though I have the group chat open, is there a way to fix that?

  • BitChris4 BitChris (@BitChris4) reported

    @S3ViYQ @signalapp NOT every single Chinese knows how to fix it

  • arbakheet Abdulrahman Bakheet (@arbakheet) reported

    @signalapp Hi There, I’m not receiving the verification code for some reason, I went through your troubleshooting steps contacted my mobile carrier to allow 6 digit sms numbers and still no messages received, the automated calls are not working either

  • Apoorva_J Apoorva Joshi (@Apoorva_J) reported

    @signalapp Can't seem to send or receive any media over the last week. No images, gifs, anything. Can't even see the images in gallery to choose what to send. Also can't view gifs received on Signal. Is this a known issue for Android phones? Thanks.

  • ReaLKanhaiyaSir कन्हैया विश्वकर्मा 🇮🇳 (@ReaLKanhaiyaSir) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp It's typo error.....

  • kgdhouhithri Ms K G Dhouhithri (@kgdhouhithri) reported

    @Sridhar_Salem @signalapp @WhatsApp Problem is contacts haven't switched. Especially small-scale vendors.

  • dreamland_2000 Grumpy Old Man (@dreamland_2000) reported

    @J_KubWI @signalapp It doesn't allow sms messages to be imported that's the problem, the initial setup doesn't allow it and once your are in the app there is no option to import. The only way to get it to work was go back to an earlier version, run setup then update.

  • cccAlpEren1 🇹🇷🇦🇿NuBuğ🇦🇿🇹🇷 (@cccAlpEren1) reported

    @signalapp Develop the app first and remove problems.

  • MENCEEEY MENCEY. (@MENCEEEY) reported

    Is anyone experiencing quality issues with photos / videos in the @signalapp in #iOS? Are there any adjustments I can make to enhance the quality when I send media?

  • ckswain9 Kumar (@ckswain9) reported

    @signalapp Two issues for you to fix. First name is split wrongly for some contacts. First Name “abc xyz” is shown as “abc” for some contacts. I have to edit it back “abc xyz”. second even if i edit .. it doesn’t update the contact name.

  • saneashouses Wonko the Fahrvergnügen Haver Ⓐ (@saneashouses) reported

    Tried everything to get my @signalapp notifications working again. Reinstall finally fixed it. Problem started after last Android 11 update (~03/05). Google Pixel 4a.

  • MustafaAlkasra Mustafa Alkasra (@MustafaAlkasra) reported

    @etanakings @signalapp maybe you are the only one who suffer from this problem?🤔

  • MoreThanDanny Danny Noonan Practising Sewer Rat (@MoreThanDanny) reported

    I have written to you multiple times re iOS accessibility being broken with voiceover with 0 response. How/who can I contact? Many blind/low vision users rely on your amazing app. Thank you. @signalapp
