Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Seliene_ Seliene (@Seliene_) reported

    @Anjali_14_ Use @signalapp, no problems at all.

  • Seliene_ Seliene (@Seliene_) reported

    @Kenyans Start using @signalapp, far more better app than WhatsApp and no problems at all.

  • zpetersen Zach Petersen (@zpetersen) reported

    At this point it feels like a problem that @signalapp is the only game in town. Maybe I'll be able to donate to them again in the future if @mer__edith is able to up their support game.

  • matejovski matejovski (@matejovski) reported

    Welp, WhatsApp is down (again) Go to @signalapp already #whatsappdown

  • IsabellaG_Force isabella (@IsabellaG_Force) reported

    the fact that signal *requires* me to make a gc name keeps me from reaching out to so many people,,, someone at @signalapp pls fix this 🙏🏽

  • BZthe3 BZthe3 (@BZthe3) reported

    @sisterinferior That’s an easy fix by @signalapp, modulate the status message update so the timing is thrown off.

  • raosuresh953 Suresh Rao (@raosuresh953) reported

    @wa_status It seems WhatsApp group messages are down, only personal messages work. Another reason why everyone should have @signalapp installed, at least as a backup.

  • kpswathi Swathi Moorthy (@kpswathi) reported

    Took a while to realise @WhatsApp services are down and it wasn't an network issue! How are you @signalapp (if anyone still using it) and @telegram? #whatsappdown

  • monajem محمد/Mo (@monajem) reported

    Also go and download @signalapp for better privacy, and the app is not down.

  • Bennettmikwala Bennett Mikwala (@Bennettmikwala) reported

    @WhatsApp servers down. @signalapp represent!!!!!!!!

  • dwiesmore Dave (@dwiesmore) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible idea. At least add a setting to still allow SMS integration for those of us smart enough to know the difference.

  • HugoDussert H͇͇̹͊ͪ́̕ͅụ̴̴̾̀͟͡g̬̬̱ͩ͋͟͟o͙͙̙̘̙ͤͫ͞ (@HugoDussert) reported

    @signalapp Now, the very usual anwser "meh, another app, again, why?" is more than ever another argument to fight about. Unfortunately at the time, I do not think Signal can afford to leave this can of help. /4

  • Seliene_ Seliene (@Seliene_) reported

    @NoContextBrits Start using @signalapp, no problems at all.

  • netside VOTE FOR ANY1 BUT ANDY HARRIS (@netside) reported

  • callmeemanu 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮™ 🇰🇪 (@callmeemanu) reported

  • AllBrianDoes Bino Kimble (@AllBrianDoes) reported

    @signalapp many times when I record a voice message at the end of it I will hit the send button and a a tooltip will pop up telling me I can press record to send a vm and now my vm is gone. What causes this glitch and how can I fix it?

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

    @farbenstau @signalapp Maybe not advise "less savvy readers" on Chinese OPSEC when you have zero experience and detention by the state is the failure mode? I get this is all a cute abstract question for some of you. But I've seen quite enough **** comms advice get Chinese people in trouble thanks.

  • Seliene_ Seliene (@Seliene_) reported

    @superking1815 Use @signalapp, no problems at all.

  • Sebangel75 Sébastien (@Sebangel75) reported

    Hey @signalapp I don’t receive any notification for Signal for a few days on an iphine8, Updated twice the app, restarted the app, the phone, followed every step from your help section, no better, what’s going on?

  • Neelv1998 Neel Vadodaria / નીલ વડોદરીયા (@Neelv1998) reported

    WhatsApp Down ? Try Signal ! Download @signalapp

  • 3numdao 3NUM.eth (@3numdao) reported

    2. Our early access group will be able to mint a number as a NFT that they can self-custody for use with our wallet secured 2FA service, in place of insecure SMS 2FA, and for use as a number that doesn't dox you with existing messaging apps like @signalapp and @telegram

  • CatBurns69 Cat Burns (@CatBurns69) reported

    @signalapp Terrible idea. I thought you guys were changing the game by making security convenient. The number of texting apps I want to interact with is exactly one.

  • abhishekroy Abhishek Roy, MD, MBA (@abhishekroy) reported

    Aaaand.... @WhatsApp is down!!! We should start using Twitter as the default messaging platform! If only all of my friends were on @signalapp.

  • martinkrafft martin ➬ (@martinkrafft) reported

    Since #WhatsApp is down right now, you might just want to do the right thing and install @Element_hq and @signalapp and beginn ditching the Facebook spyware. Tell all your contacts too. You are too valuable to engage with a company like Facebook.
