    @signalapp you want everyone to shift but then your app doesn't work half the time. How about fixing the issues first?

    GreedyGusGus (@GreedyGusGus) reported

    @signalapp, I keep hearing from those who I convinced to switch over of issues such as: Bluetooth connectivity, calls not ringing/coming through when the app is not open and audio is not redirected via the speaker during a call... This is on multiple devices # OS' (#android/#ios)

  • ProtonMail
    ProtonMail (@ProtonMail) reported

    @sobczyk_mike @signalapp A while ago, we finished restoring services. We confirm no emails lost, but some may be delayed. We apologize deeply for this unexpected downtime. The recovery took longer due to a number of unexpected/new errors. For transparency, will share a post-incident report this week.

    @signalapp Guys... Your app has a major notification problem. Quite often it doesn't notify of incoming messages. Please fix it

    Hey @signalapp ! There are issues with Android phones receiving group msgs. It's getting difficult to convince ppl to stay on the app at this rate guys. 😢

    In @signalapp groups you can block a certain person and no see their messages. In @wa_status you can’t 😢 too bad signal is down most of the time

    @signalapp I am not able to use/unlock Signal on my iPhone 6s (?) anymore since two or three days as now Signal only lets me unlock via Touch ID. But my Touch ID stopped working long time ago. Kindly reactivate to login via passcode. Thank you 🙏

    @signalapp Why is no apk download on you web page. I don't have any goolag service on my device, so how can I install your app ?? I thought signal is open source, so why isn't it available on f-droid ??? All stupid, isn't it ??

    @signalapp I am having an issue, if I don't check the app... No messages arrive... How can I solve that?

    sanisha (@sanisha5) reported

    @builtformars @signalapp this was brilliant, as always, I even applied 'The Beautiful error' piece to something I am working on now. A thing find weird about Signal is getting a notification when a contact is on signal, the best but equally worst case scenario is that I get hundreds of notifications ?!

  • redqueen6147
    Paul Mathew (@redqueen6147) reported

    @signalapp Dear team i am facing the following issues. 1. Too much time taking for connecting calls. 2. Sometimes it shows network failed. 3. If i share a photo directly from photos app i have to select photos two times if the signal is lock condition.

    @ProtonMail is down and I hope it's due to a massive surge in sign ups just like with @signalapp

    @signalapp Messages not getting delivered. Any help?

  • PeteLawler
    Phartiphukborlz (@PeteLawler) reported

    Same issue as Signal. Cannot trust underlying OS at any point if trying to secure comms, thus have to replace as much as possible within reason. @moxie not giving @signalapp its own key is lame.

    @wallstreetbets @signalapp @signalapp must block all public officials from using their service! #transparency
