Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • 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

  • anirudh_g Anirudh Garudangiri (@anirudh_g) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp With the number of new subscribers increasing exponentially, you might want to temporarily turn off the new joiner notification (which comes up in the app as a new chat btw). This might help reduce the load on the server with the influx of new subscribers.

  • 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

  • samruddhi0 Samruddhi S (@samruddhi0) reported

    @b50 One more thing... Transiting from WhatsApp was easy due to @signalapp 's simple interface. Had it given a terrible user experience, we would not even consider it an option. So, thanks to them.

  • ValdasVaitiekus Valdas (@ValdasVaitiekus) reported

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

  • Jessevd Jessevd (@Jessevd) reported

    @dfilskov @subhav_sharma @signalapp AFAIK messages are still relayed through their servers, but data is encrypted from end to end so they cannot be read. I don't know of any P2P service like that.

  • _iamandeep Amandeep (@_iamandeep) reported

    @signalapp it is still down bro, messages are not getting delivered. try to correct it asap.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ad_kannadi Arun Daniel (@ad_kannadi) reported

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

  • AshishG70577483 Ashish Gautam (@AshishG70577483) reported

    @m___anny @signalapp I just gave you a possible explanation of the problem miss.

  • 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

  • sandeepiroy Sandeep Roy (@sandeepiroy) reported

    @AravindhRagava @signalapp There’s a drop down arrow on right, choose whichever currency you want.

  • 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!

  • waqar1khan Waqar Khan (@waqar1khan) reported

    @signalapp still not working on tecno phones. need your attention

  • thepotatokitty Akshit Garg (@thepotatokitty) reported

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

  • ranchisparrow ahana mukherjee (@ranchisparrow) reported

    @ShivAroor @signalapp The thing that users don’t understand is be it WhatsApp or Signal, privacy will always be a problem bcoz these are good platforms for corporates to do targeted advertisement. It’s just a matter of time. Digital platforms has all our details we have given out voluntarily.

  • haiMOUNT Misbahul Munir (@haiMOUNT) reported

    @signalapp No problem

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • FairLadyFran Francis Cook (@FairLadyFran) reported

    @signalapp Would we see these error messages if we missed a message? Could we have missed one with no warning? (Or were they ignoring me) 😝

  • ekun_koya ekun-ish (@ekun_koya) reported

    @signalapp i can't use a +234 906 network ID number from Nigeria. Can you help?

  • 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.

  • Rafilathif1 Rafilathif (@Rafilathif1) reported

    @imgunvant @signalapp That's your problem only But most of the peoples are like the status Including me

  • ViejoEngineer Jose Madrid (@ViejoEngineer) reported

    @signalapp I had a different side effect where the app was crashing so I had to uninstall and reinstall. I didn’t have much history which is fine, but could be a problem for people who had history. Thought I would put my issue here.

  • Nexus6it Gabriele Guidi (@Nexus6it) reported

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

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

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