    .@moxie @signalapp Does foundation is thinking about signal email service? ,world need OWS E2EE email.

  • tahnikm Tahnik Mustasin (@tahnikm) reported

    As much as I love @signalapp, they really need to fix their desktop app. A lot of time it just doesn’t load itself or doesn’t load the messages correctly. Hoping they sort it out soon.

  • skyfaller Nelson Pavlosky | Mastodon: @skyfaller@jawns.club (@skyfaller) reported

    @mikeyil @signalapp Signal is the least secure messaging app except for all of the others. But yes, in all seriousness they really should stop broadcasting when people sign up, you're not the first person to mention this problem.

  • Salmonthefish Samuel Irias (@Salmonthefish) reported

    Welp, @WhatsApp is down. Just one more reason for people to switch to @signalapp

  • annehunte Anne Hunte (@annehunte) reported

    @signalapp seems like you are down

  • SethEdward Seth Edward (@SethEdward) reported

    @signalapp Any plans to fix the user interface changes debacle? Maybe a user selection option to not make every conversation color a grey mess? Thanks!

  • DatasureDigital Datasure Digital (@DatasureDigital) reported

    For those encountering the @signalapp Link Error Joining via this link failed. Try joining again later. message when attempting the join a Signal Group, the fix is to update your root mobile device to the latest OS and to update your Signal app to the latest version.

    @signalapp I am not finding a Chrome extension, can you please help me with this?

  • seekdivinetruth Social & political dissident Activist Ⓥ🌎🐘✊🏼☮️👀 (@seekdivinetruth) reported

    @signalapp I LOVE your app but after another one of Apple‘s damn updates it deleted the app even though it was backed up & now all my threads are gone. Reached out for help but haven’t heard back yet. I have messages from people that have crossed over. Please help me recover them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  • bradsilverberg Brad Silverberg (@bradsilverberg) reported

    @signalapp -- the desktop app doesn't work on the new M1 iMac (current MacOS version, current Signal desktop app version). On startup: Database startup error: Error: Error: Integrity check failed: *** in database main *** It works on my M1 MacBook Air but not the new iMac.

  • FoleyPLEXLLC FPX (@FoleyPLEXLLC) reported

    @signalapp why can't I send video? Or I seem limited...its not my phone company...ill stop on this app why am I limited? I send the same thing on whatsapp,no problem, email no problem, why? Why? Do you limit its clearly your app limits, Why? It's so annoying...

  • Getthegalaxy Me (@Getthegalaxy) reported

    @signalapp Is anyone knowing a lot about apps here? Could this work? To fix the problems with Android @Signalapp notifications they could create a mechanism to keep the app awake sending a code to a server every 10mins. It will fix battery optimisations apps. Am I right?

  • Phoul Colin Childs (@Phoul) reported

    @signalapp this change is terrible, please consider rolling back. Why would you make a UX change that creates so much more difficulty identifying who is talking.

  • genxoutlaw (@genxoutlaw) reported

    in other words: use @signalapp instead of ANY other messaging app or you only have yourself to blame if the silly **** you send gets you in mega trouble ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #shruglife

  • gomaigrir chat 🦥 (@gomaigrir) reported

    @signalapp hey, i need help pls

  • Dilip96730313 Dilip K N🇮🇳 (@Dilip96730313) reported

    @ivin7D @DaLazyCatGaming @signalapp But last seen would help

  • seanieb Seanie Byrne (@seanieb) reported

    Feature suggestions for @signalapp @moxie. If a message is undelivered for over two weeks, send a generic SMS to the recipient telling them. It’s probably due to them uninstall the app or some other technical issue.

  • avihari Anupam Vihari (@avihari) reported

    Hi @signalapp, voice and video calls not working for many users in India.

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @djchateau @signalapp The primary issue was just notifying users- like you do when you tell them to use a complex password. The refused for over a year. Now Signal is blocked in China so there's not much problem.

  • Elmernite Kenneth LeBlanc (@Elmernite) reported

    @signalapp You have completely ruined Signal with this new color update. It is a terrible UI and I hope to find a different communication app. It makes threads with multiple people completely unusable. It also makes my personal threads far less readable.

  • alder_noun _ (@alder_noun) reported

    Hey @signalapp, I have a doubt, (Case 1) If a person cleared data or uninstalled the signal app. On re-login, Could the messages still be retrieved, if the password is forgotten?

  • budbx90 Budbx (@budbx90) reported

    @telegram @onatommy And still no answer or reply to when telegram is going to fix the notifications issue across iOS or android. Guess they do not care about their users, @signalapp better anyway

  • Grewal559 Sunny Grewal (@Grewal559) reported

    @signalapp Please fix recording issues. We are group of truckers and we switched from whatsapp to @signalapp. We use voice recordings instead of typing. On whatsapp we can record with our Bluetooth headsets and in signal it doesn't work. Can you plz bring an update. Also bring status option

  • tierracultivada MJ (@tierracultivada) reported

    @DeckerSpectre @signalapp i think whatsapp is better because it works over wifi. then cut you service and disappear when needed

  • talmagegross Talmage Gross (@talmagegross) reported

    In other words: I sent photo to person A two days ago. Today I sent a message with only text to Group message not including person A. That message somehow also sent those photos from two days ago. @signalapp please fix.

  • DivaBiotech Ruby Gadelrab (@DivaBiotech) reported

    Just checked on @signalapp and there are exactly ZERO investors listed in Austin investing in #digitalhealth. This is either an error or a huge opportunity.

  • Dhanendrasing16 Dhanendra pratap singh (@Dhanendrasing16) reported

    @signalapp How can i import sms database to signal? Can anybody help me

  • Commenter25 Commenter (@Commenter25) reported

    @pyrrhl @signalapp LMAO just realized signal is still tagged in this convo while we're talking about a completely different service, they get to watch the domino effect of arbitrary design decisions with no benefit to the user

  • doctornick_99 Nick O'Teen (@doctornick_99) reported

    @BBCNews #DeleteWhatsapp #DeleteFacebook Use @signalapp problem solved.
