Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp I’m personally concerned about how it’s affecting me. Others may get the same issue & just give up on the app, w/o reporting; I know I’m starting to think I might do that myself. I’d also like a support team that engages with a customer with issue & provides advice & solutions.

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp I get no response from @signalapp support. The app is unusable. “Wait for next update” when I don’t even know if they’re doing anything is poor customer service. It’s just rubbish really.

  • andy_park Andy Park (@andy_park) reported

    @MattSidor @signalapp I submitted a bug log after doing all you suggested. Thanks for your help!

  • Khurafativipin Vipin (@Khurafativipin) reported

    @brenbsl @signalapp But in android or ios no one else is getting your problem atleast in twitter feed.

  • harish_0707 Harish (@harish_0707) reported

    @signalapp hello team, if you could arrange a whatsapp data backup in Signalapp, that would help most people like me to migrate to Signal immediately #randomThought #Signal

  • jport1975 jport (@jport1975) reported

    @signalapp THIS IS THE SECOND TWEET TO YOU: Why do we have to constantly reset secure session? On a weekly basis I am unable to communicate with my group, we go through verify security numbers, and reset secure session, and still have issues. Please assist.

  • brenbsl Brendan (@brenbsl) reported

    @signalapp this is still an issue. The app crashes within seconds of opening each and every time. I have tried everything and sent details of what I’ve tried, sent email logs from the option within app. This behaviour makes the app totally unusable and unfit for purpose.

  • evty28 ʎpoqǝɯoS (@evty28) reported

    @denizdg_n @signalapp There appear to be bug in current desktop version. Downgrading to 1.39.4, unlinking from the iOS app, then re-linking will fix your issue.

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

    @PrivaCat This has been going on for over a year- instant replies from @SignalApp and @moxie to all issues raised, provided they're raised but the "right sort of people". Dead silence for me. Then this comes up and they are "too busy".

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @Aruschandran @signalapp the problem is phone numbers.

  • rodriguesfhs Fábio Rodrigues (@rodriguesfhs) reported

    @signalapp the app is bypassing iOS14 do not disturb (I keep getting messages even with Do not disturb). Same issue on Android. Any way to fix it? Thanks!

  • narazamsa Axat (@narazamsa) reported

    @signalapp Now the group call is not working

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @dink1004 @signalapp Just trying to help...

  • SaleemaGul Saleema Gul (@SaleemaGul) reported

    @signalapp Can you please fix the group settings? Multiple ppl can make groups with the same group name.

  • v0lk3n Volken (@v0lk3n) reported

    @NadeshikoKaguya @Vaishal18311493 @signalapp Signal if for people who care about privacy, so stop asking for add that ******* features! If you want to share you poor life to everyone this is your problem, dont ruin signal and come back on facebook instagram and all those shitty app

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @SQL314 @DuckDuckGo @signalapp Oh you want to use the same number on multiple devices. Of course you can't. I thought you had problems with the installation on the tablet in general.

  • OliDierickx Olivier Dierickx (@OliDierickx) reported

    @telegram & @signalapp , now that @WhatsApp is in messy trouble & gets massive leak out of users, where most of them are now using your services, remember to use THIS TIME to ensure OUR safety with OUR data. I can pay for it, if needed. But remember to NOT reproduce same mistake!

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @nuitNo6 @elonmusk @signalapp they might have more trouble sifting through the troll comments haha

  • kev_in_infosec kev_in_infosec (@kev_in_infosec) reported

    @signalapp isn't a bad app to run. It also has certain issues to address. People who blindly simp for Signal need to spend some time reading documentation.

    @Khurafativipin @signalapp Nope, as I guessed, updating the version and restarting the phone doesn’t help. Now on the latest version and still app crashes seconds after opening.
