Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Cocoacoupons name cannot be blank (@Cocoacoupons) reported

    @signalapp can you add a feature to pin priority conversations? I receive text messages for doctor appointments that get pushed down from spam, day to day texts, and other appointments. This would be a life saver for someone who relies on SMS updates for Dr appointments

  • chuckfrain Chuck Frain (@chuckfrain) reported

    @signalapp Does the real number requirement cause any issues for those using Signal in Iran?

  • babylon_eth babylon.eth🦇🔊🔴 (@babylon_eth) reported

    @signalapp @msv_mahsa It will be better to adopt a mesh like long range bluetooth functionality. In times where governments shut down internet, users can relay messages until someone has internet.

  • whistleNwork whistleNwork (@whistleNwork) reported

    @signalapp You guys should look in to making an Email service as well for the public.

  • nanninenashef Nadine Nashef (@nanninenashef) reported

    Is @signalapp experiencing call issues? Several calls now from multiple devices and the other person's audio is blotchy and cuts off. Anyone else?

  • amirshakibapour Amir Shakibapour (@amirshakibapour) reported

    @signalapp We can receive login codes by sms or call when we are trying to create account or login Please put alternative ways such as sending our codes by email or telegram. #help us

  • schobeir Shobeir 🏴 (@schobeir) reported

    @signalapp There is a huge problem for me trying to get in to the app: I can’t get the verification code sent to my phone number simply because the state-controlled cellular operator have blocked your numbers! What is the solution here? #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی

  • SSha_m_ somayeh shamaeizade (@SSha_m_) reported

  • gr0ssmann Max R. P. Grossmann (@gr0ssmann) reported

    Wow, @signalapp has massively stepped up its video call game. Extremely smooth. No more NAT issues. And of course, everything is utterly encrypted. Well done.

    @signalapp I tried to register, but the big problem is they banned the register message #MahsaAmini #مهسا_امینی

  • 444rrp flowinprose (@444rrp) reported

    @Abnoos @signalapp @expressvpn Is telegram working? Downloading F-droid might help, then through there a fake phone number for verification, for signal or telegram?

  • AnandArtish Free ARTi (@AnandArtish) reported

    @signalapp We need email request to get signal app, like lantern. Play store, your website and the signal app are banned, and we need to access theme on new way. Provide download with email and proxy. Thanks in advance to help Iranian people.

  • mah_hj Samaneh Mahdavi (@mah_hj) reported

    @YourAnonStory @signalapp We need help, please unify all hackers to fight for injustice in the world! After shutting down internet, many many protesters may be killed! #MahsaAmini #OpIran #IranProtests2022

  • SaffariSoroush Soroush Saffari (@SaffariSoroush) reported

    @KonstantWeddige @rezashahnazar @signalapp The internet isn't shut down completely (yet) 😕 I hope he's okay and can get online again. Thank you for the side note, I'll delete that tweet and send it to him directly.

  • behnamprime behnam (@behnamprime) reported

    @signalapp Doesn't work, tons of errors: RROR: for nginx-terminate Cannot start service nginx-terminate: operations not permitted

  • zanoga Maxim Zanoga (@zanoga) reported

    @signalapp Did you fix the problem with the proxy?

  • 1baabak BaabaK (@1baabak) reported

    @signalapp some reports from Iran show that people have problems with receiving verification code. What's the other way for verifying a number? Is it possible to remove verification temporarily? #مهسا_امینی #MahsaAmini #OpIran

  • lfrspok99205 Larry F Rice (@lfrspok99205) reported

    @johnondrasik @signalapp Why do anything for Iran? Piss on the USA haters... Can we focus on USA issues?

  • Agirl_fightng A_girl (@Agirl_fightng) reported

    @signalapp @mamlekate But they hardly have access to internet in Iran. As the internet is shot down.#MahsaAmani #مهسا_امینی

  • KonstantWeddige Konstantin Weddige (@KonstantWeddige) reported

    @SaffariSoroush @rezashahnazar @signalapp If there is no internet, this won't help. And on a side note, you shouldn't announce the domain of your proxy openly, because this might lead to it being blocked. Although, it seems like the Iranian government doesn't care anymore and went for the full shutdown anyway.

  • mostafa_khaki mostafa khaki (@mostafa_khaki) reported

    @signalapp Another problem is registering, because we use Tor VPN, checking recaptcha is too long and finally don't receive verification code.

  • guetto guetto (@guetto) reported

    @signalapp These proxies are not reliable, you'll need to have several of them and rotate addresses when one fails. Mine goes down from time to time, switch to another and come back when the second fails.
