Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @signalapp Signal does not receive messages or notifications until it is opened. None of the suggested options on your site to resolve this type of issue works. Most people around here who use different phones complain of this same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Kindly rectify it.

  • thepotatokitty Akshit Garg (@thepotatokitty) reported

    @signalapp Why not publish a root cause analysis report for the outage?

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @signalapp Uninstalling, cleaning remnant files and reinstalling the app have just helped rectify the issue.

  • JohnMcM1 John McManus 📺🎙📡 (@JohnMcM1) reported

    The @signalapp messaging app says it has resolved the technical problems that had plagued it over the past few days, after a flood of new users downloaded the service.

  • AniketBharajkar Aniket Bharajkar (@AniketBharajkar) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys, I’m experiencing an issue where my contacts who are on Signal aren’t showing up on my iOS device but they are there on Android. I tried turning On/Off the contact access but that didn’t work. @signalapp

  • Nexus6it Gabriele Guidi (@Nexus6it) reported

    @DJHiorns @signalapp Just #donated 5$. If all the geniuses complaining would donate, probably we could avoid any future outage!

  • ActuallySatya Satyajit Pradhan (@ActuallySatya) reported

    @JoshuaWeigert @signalapp Their user base has increased more than 10fold in such a short period of time. Their servers are having a hard time. They are working on a fix. All they need is a little bit of time and support.🙏 Please support @signalapp, it's the golden standard in terms of privacy.

  • Subbu_1994 Hari Subramanian 🇮🇳 (@Subbu_1994) reported

    So now WhatsApp is putting up a status to stop people from migrating to @signalapp and @telegram. Signal has already hit 50Mn users, went down to upgrade it's capacity! Things are looking good already!

  • johanneslaryea Johannes Laryea (@johanneslaryea) reported

    @signalapp Why is the camera not working?

  • SakheSengwayo Sakhe (@SakheSengwayo) reported

    @signalapp Thanks for fixing the problem.

  • ad_kannadi Arun Daniel (@ad_kannadi) reported

    @signalapp Take your time but fix it. I am not going back to WhatsApp.

  • Matto27502914 Matto (@Matto27502914) reported

    @signalapp When is the update coming? Mine is still not working ..Shall we re- install whatsapp?

  • Matto27502914 Matto (@Matto27502914) reported

    @signalapp You did what? It is still not working. I cannot send or receive any sms or calls.

  • pramodraghunath Pramod Raghunath (@pramodraghunath) reported

    @signalapp Thanks the prompt updates 👍 I reported another issue yday via support channels amidst the outage - not only did some msgs, but also contacts and groups vanished as well. Hope the app update would resolve this as well.

  • JeevanVThomas Chowkidar Tommy (@JeevanVThomas) reported

    @kavinbm @telegram @signalapp He's right. The only means for such Indian apps to succeed is to have western apps banned. That's the effect of globalisation. It can't be stopped. Whoever offers a better product wins, no matter from which part of the world that service is offered from.

  • mk_gudla Manikanta (@mk_gudla) reported

    @signalapp Sometimes, Im not able to see the read receipts even when the other user has read my message. I am facing this problem since yesterday.

  • ValdasVaitiekus Valdas (@ValdasVaitiekus) reported

    @MasterGuantai @signalapp oh no I juat noticed they went down to 4.4

  • Ngeno_E Ng'eno (@Ngeno_E) reported

    @signalapp Still there is issues

  • ba5ithk Basith (@ba5ithk) reported

    @signalapp Nobody, has ever designed a system that can gain 50 million users within couple of days and it’s not an issue. Take your time, we'll be here waiting because we know data is not only about privacy, but also about how control and power they have on us. #sayhellotoprivacy

  • JonaceKabaso Jonace Kabaso (@JonaceKabaso) reported

    @Qo_Olamilekan @signalapp I have the same problem, also for the others, I posted the same problem to Signal I don't know if they saw this

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @Exallium @sweetkhanpk100 @signalapp This does not resolve the issue at all. Most people around me here who use different phones experience the same issue. And this is specific to Signal. Other messaging apps are working fine. This needs to be rectified

  • rajdipesser Rajdip kundu (@rajdipesser) reported

    Hey @signalapp how about asking for login pin/ fingerprint everytime one tries to open the signal app from phone or pc? I think it will add more privacy
