    1000+ Group member, @signalapp I think large the group is leads misuse of app like fb and other other service. None talks to not more than 50 or 100 members in year through messages whom share their personal or work phone number with.

  • 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.

  • DjPepsi B to the L, the A, the C-King (@DjPepsi) reported

    @signalapp hey 👋🏾 I have been having a serious issue with video calls on the app. I am unable to hear anything from the speakers on my iPhone. Please msg back

  • 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.

  • realemilyolivia Emily Olivia (@realemilyolivia) reported

    @signalapp is there a way to reverse this color change? Like why after years of having the received bubbles colored would you just switch? Plus now group chat members are harder to distinguish from one another. This seems intentionally confusing. Help?

  • Hichem44630276 Hichem (@Hichem44630276) reported

    @signalapp I have a simple problem. If you activate the energy savings mode , do not enter any notifications

  • Midori_Magma Midori Magma (@Midori_Magma) reported

    Dear @signalapp The colour changes you made to group chats are terrible. Please give us the option of putting the old colours back.

  • 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.

  • Manisha95111619 Manisha (@Manisha95111619) reported

    @signalapp I am forget passphrase . So how restore my pervious data plz help

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • spookeymo1 kiddo sinner (@spookeymo1) reported

    @signalapp I noticed even when the "seen" option is turned off, if I'm watching the chat I can see when someone has read the messages. the chat shifts slightly when it happens. you might wanna fix it because it defeats the whole purpose of having it off

  • Onass02 Onass☆ (@Onass02) reported

    @signalapp Please help my account has been hacked and I can't receive a verification code anymore!! 😕

  • bradsilverberg Brad Silverberg (@bradsilverberg) reported

  • 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 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  • annehunte Anne Hunte (@annehunte) reported

    @signalapp seems like you are down

  • 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?

  • 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?

  • ThisIsMissEm Emelia 👸🏻 (@ThisIsMissEm) reported

    Hey @signalapp, could you please fix the whole call thing on iOS so I don't accidentally hang up on my girlfriend when I lock my phone? Cause that's really annoying and rude

    @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!

  • Aaronicalhg Aaronical 🇱🇷❤️ (@Aaronicalhg) reported

  • 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.

    @Onass02 @signalapp I was hacked too, these support services are just time wasting, send a DM to #dallas_tech on instagram, they’ll help you fix your account in less than an hour
