    @signalapp hi Team I am noticing a delay of message from your app for the past week. The message I receive are not showing up at the time I receive them but they would pop up randomly all at once at a much later time. Please help to investigate as it is quite annoying.

  • noahfeehan nfeehan / AKA (@noahfeehan) reported

    the thing with @signalapp is it is just a one hundred percent crapshoot if your message gets delivered - god help you if you need a response

  • BigSisTracey Tracey Milligan (@BigSisTracey) reported

    @signalapp I had to reset my iPhone to factory, now I can't get my account with my message history back. I keep getting the message to "scan old device". There is no old device only this one. How do I fix this?

  • harshdeepsethi Harsh (@harshdeepsethi) reported

  • kamilo192410334 kamilo1 (@kamilo192410334) reported

    @signalapp hello, your call service in signal is not working, it does not allow to make or receive calls, please check the application.

  • xuanmo_baby 轩墨宝宝 (@xuanmo_baby) reported

    @signalapp @KultureShop Chinese government has blocked all SMS sent from abroad to mainland China. We people living in China can't receive any SMS from abroad. So we can't use signal. Please find a solution to solve this problem.

  • wwabissabi bry (@wwabissabi) reported

    @signalapp terrible app!!!! Just uninstalled. Complete fail! Messages "sent" but "pending" for hours, or days!!!! Worthless app!

  • bellja747 ¢krypt∅ (@bellja747) reported

    @Fervent403332 @signalapp If the issue is as serious as you say you should document the problem on their GitHub, or official forums. Spamming them on Twitter is not going to get you the kind of attention you're looking for.

  • MrTechConsumer MrTechConsumer 🔌🖱️💻 🚐 (@MrTechConsumer) reported

    Having issues with sign in, My usual Verification PIN isn't going through which is very odd considering I have been using the same PIN to verify monthly. What could be the issue (No option for Fingerprint login which was working a couple of minutes ago) @signalapp

  • ar_wang CW Ip (@ar_wang) reported

    @signalapp @KultureShop Kindly look at the message delay problem please. Fans from Hong Kong

  • jycleaver Joanne Cleaver (@jycleaver) reported

    @nclarkjudd @chicagotribune @signalapp Not mentioning you does not constitute an error.

  • notegone Ivan (@notegone) reported

    @signalapp could you please look into the feedback sent a few days ago regarding Signal-iOS slowing down and overheating an iPhone 12? I think it might be caused by frequent network disconnects, but not sure. I would much rather be using Signal than iMessage

  • ArmoredFlash93 ArmoredFlash (@ArmoredFlash93) reported

    @signalapp Hey Team, I'm facing annoying issue. At times i receives messages hour or two later. I've set battery optimization to don't optimize and provides unrestricted background data access specially too, just to avoid this. I even open app and don't receive msgs surprisingly

  • dharmabuilt Barry Fleming | #alldogsarebodhisattvas #VivaKambo (@dharmabuilt) reported

    .@signalapp - I was prompted to update my MAC desktop version. It took me to the full install (re-install) and now won't start - "Optimizing Application" (hanging there). I've tried re-boot and re-install. Still same. Any help?

  • MuirMic SivilianOnBace (@MuirMic) reported

    @signalapp I've had a bug for the last year where if I send any image from my phone to anyone not using signal through SMS it corrupts the image please fix this before getting sticker packs come on

  • zandersharp Zander Sharp (@zandersharp) reported

    @gozoforever @signalapp did you find a solution to this? I have this issue and can't resolve it

  • Ruckkenhrunruhe vAhA (@Ruckkenhrunruhe) reported

    @signalapp you need to fix slide from left to go back on “chat’s” screen

  • RonaldDamhof RonaldDamhof (@RonaldDamhof) reported

    @onceusername @signalapp Same issue

  • marcusdeanadams Marcus Adams (@marcusdeanadams) reported

    @Signalapp Please make it so that if somebody doesn't actually have service, the audio call won't play the ringing sound. It's annoying that I'll think somebody is ignoring me when in fact, their phone never rang in the first place because they didn't have servce. #Signal

  • Imthebest14life Imthebest14life (@Imthebest14life) reported

    @signalapp theres an option in signal where i can make messages disappear if I start new conversations only. Why cant messages disappear if people message me and i have it enabled? I dont like the fact how the other user can disable disappearing messages. Fix this! @signalapp

  • hagenverfolgt hagenverfolgt (@hagenverfolgt) reported

    @signalapp Reinstallation has solved the issue.

  • thisisjmx J∆MES 🏳️‍🌈 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 (@thisisjmx) reported

    @signalapp I deleted my WhatsApp account this week. Sometimes we need to ask, How much data to we want to give 1 company? Why do we 'accept' for convenience? Why do we allow 1 company to collect data on us when we haven't signed up to that service?

  • TheHayleeColon Haylee (@TheHayleeColon) reported

    @signalapp What is going on with the app?!?! So much is broken! Send and Receive notifications aren't working properly and now neither are GIFs! Stop making updates that make our experience WORSE! #dontfixwhataintbroke

  • LeCLoutGOAT LeCLoutGOAT 🍥 (@LeCLoutGOAT) reported

    @signalapp @FarshidHakimy The new iOS update made my videos play in very small ratio can you guys fix this

  • xnatasxswe xnatasx (@xnatasxswe) reported

    @Reuters Hopefully they can get VPNs and use encrypted apps like @signalapp @brave with TOR turned on should help also.

  • jammun Jamie Munro (@jammun) reported

    You know what I like about @signalapp? It's inclusive. As long as you have a supported version of Android or iOS it works. It's a party where everyone is invited. I turned off iMessage on my devices because I was tired of a service that worked for half the people I know.

  • StarNano2 StarNano (@StarNano2) reported

    @signalapp @KultureShop It seems there has been connection issue in China login Signal -Desktop even with VPN.
