    @signalapp Person from my phone's contacts does not appear in Signal. Where can I get help with that?

  • rphi1017 Don Knupp (@rphi1017) reported

    @LDinclaux @signalapp Could This be an issue with IOS version? I use Android & see my blocked contacts only in my blocked contacts list. Either way it's a problem but it could be helpful to know if it happens only on one type of phone.

  • ruza_eu Pavel Ruzicka (@ruza_eu) reported

    @signalapp Is there an End of Life of supporting Legacy groups? Any date I can rely on old groups will work without a problem?

  • typical_todd Todd 😷 (@typical_todd) reported

    @signalapp do you guys provide signal support? Having so many issues. It won't let me join new groups (I have no other linked devices and my app is already up to date).

  • ajay9266 Aj (@ajay9266) reported

    @signalapp signal app not working good ..notifications not poping up until we open app

  • criskotsu Vásquez (@criskotsu) reported

    Used to call my mom through @signalapp when my VPN had issues and I was finally happy I had an app I can communicate directly with her. Well, Signal was having issues for weeks and now’s officially under firewall. Another day, China, another day.

  • George_harrap George Harrap ☀️ (@George_harrap) reported

    @xer0c @signalapp Yep was an issue for me too in past. Its due to some group phone number sharing setting which i think is only adjustable in the app, not the desktop as theyre not feature compatible (literally cannot delete groups on desktop). Pretty dumb the whole thing

  • dajoekersole ✕☐◯△ (@dajoekersole) reported

    @TheSignalCat @signalapp Yes, and I unplugged my PC and restarted my phone. Problem still persist.

  • digisaatio Digisaatio (@digisaatio) reported

    @signalapp looks like desktop version has some problems in sending. Updating to 5.0 did not fix that.

  • Mohammed_wafey Mohammed Nafea Desouky (@Mohammed_wafey) reported

  • RespawnMonkey 🐒Motherboard|🖥hardware means heart. (@RespawnMonkey) reported

    @signalapp It's been hell trying to send texts as of let. Forcing me to uninstall the app. When I reinstalled it...I never got any of my texts back. Like I thought they are supposed to be backed up. Help me understand.

  • leonidasfromxiv Marek, lost in Twıtter (@leonidasfromxiv) reported

    @signalapp Snowden said he wanted to "embolden others to step forward" by demonstrating that "they can win." He also said that the system for reporting problems did not work.

  • CaptainBalou1 Marco (@CaptainBalou1) reported

    I got one update of the @signalapp a day ago but the problem persisted. But today in the morning suddenly all worked fine again. Possible issue in the core application server side?! 🤔 It works again - this is the most important!

  • sukesh1020 Sukesh (@sukesh1020) reported

    @iambappan @signalapp So many are against it. And how does it help anyone?

  • Ashvith0010 Ashvith (@Ashvith0010) reported

    @signalapp I am actually not interested in crypto currency, but I would not care about it. The first thing team signal can do is fix the damn UI. It is so inconsistent, and the colours don't even make sense. We need more wallpapers, and if they're SVG, they can be made adaptive I guess.

  • b_deerfield B. Ruth Deerfield, M.D. (@b_deerfield) reported

    @signalapp In January 2014, he told a German TV interviewer that he gave all of his information to American journalists reporting on American issues.

  • b_deerfield B. Ruth Deerfield, M.D. (@b_deerfield) reported

    @signalapp In March 2014, Snowden said he had reported policy or legal issues related to spying programs to more than ten officials, but as a contractor had no legal avenue to pursue further whistleblowing.

  • CaptainBalou1 Marco (@CaptainBalou1) reported

    I was using @signalapp an hour ago without any issue but now the app on my Android phone is running for a second and then closing itself again. No error message... Restarted the phone already. Issue persists. Confusing.

  • streek405 Bob dylan (@streek405) reported

    @signalapp Something is wrong with the app for android....I am unable to send any messages to one person (hasnt been sent after 30+ min of hanging) but I do not have the same issue with any other user. Restarting phone/clearing cache doesnt do anything, same for data to wifi.

  • kamey258 Kamey (@kamey258) reported

    @volpegabriel87 @signalapp it's because your internet is slow so it takes time for a photo to load, i don't have that issue while I'm connected to my home WiFi, but once i connect to school or public WiFi that thing happens to me too.

  • Freeman76417962 Freeman (Talk-Talk Biafra) (@Freeman76417962) reported

    @signalapp There's a problem in signal the problem is when any one send me a message the app does not send any notifications and when someone also call me on signal this call i don't know about it until i open the app. I use Itel P33. Help

  • b_deerfield B. Ruth Deerfield, M.D. (@b_deerfield) reported

    @signalapp and that the American public deserved a chance to see these issues determined by open courts ... today, a secret program authorized by a secret court was, when exposed to the light of day, found to violate Americans' rights."

  • Jono_Straz Jonathon Strzina (@Jono_Straz) reported

    @signalapp Any plans to open up beta testing to other countries? I'd like to help out but don't live in the UK.

  • btcsandglocks breakeronenine (@btcsandglocks) reported

  • Orange2213 Orange22 (@Orange2213) reported

    @signalapp Why fix when nothing was wrong? Nobody asked to send money via signal. Just stop this. Focus on stability and customization features. Expand controls for admins in group chats!
