  • anulpan Anul Pandya (@anulpan) reported

    @signalapp We are still facing issue here in India, messages are not delivering!!

  • AngerMCS Matt (@AngerMCS) reported

    @signalapp Such a great idea, vs you know, actually improving usability or fixing the privacy issues people keep bringing up with your app. Everyone is *really* asking for this. I'm sure I will be able to get my family to switch from whatsapp now!

  • LoveKremer Neil Kremer (@LoveKremer) reported

    @signalapp Fix the ring issue first, the incoming call doesn't ring the phone. It is nasty and biggest big that need fixing first.

  • fritzhuie Fritz (@fritzhuie) reported

    @jokoono @signalapp They're not mutually exclusive, but adding bitcoin doesn't solve the problems they're looking to tackle If the mobilecoin integration is successful, I don't see any reason that btc/lightning etc couldn't be included down the road For now privacy and 3 second transactions are #1

  • Timmania117 Timmania (@Timmania117) reported

    @signalapp I wanted to believe, and switch over to signal completely. But this kind of stuff just doesn't seem right for an application that still has a lot of problems with the basic messaging aspect. Privacy has been dead for a while. This does not help revive it.

  • azan_30 Azan (@azan_30) reported

    @linuxct @signalapp Hey can you help me in setting my phone like One Plus 8T cyberpunk edition?

  • es_wird_wieder 𝕤𝕖𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕥𝕚𝕒𝕟 (@es_wird_wieder) reported

    @AngerMCS @signalapp Open an issue on GitHub and offer a bounty if the quality of this free software bothers you so much. Or better yet, fork it and implement it yourself.

  • airwolf85 Wilf K 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 (@airwolf85) reported

    @MarioSuper007 @signalapp I am already a Threema issue. I don't see the need to migrate to Signal. It still has its uses.

  • atbigelow August Bigelow (@atbigelow) reported

    @signalapp The hand-waving from all the LEGITIMATE issues people have with adding cryptocurrency transactions to a communication client is beyond ridiculous.

  • LWhatsHisFace ɱark WhatsHisFace (@LWhatsHisFace) reported

    @tdrud @signalapp 100% using monero's draw backs as an excuse to perform an obvious pump and dump. Maybe they'll use the money they earn to try and fix the problems they pointed out...

  • jolune_m Jolune🌙 (@jolune_m) reported

    Hello @signalapp ! I just bought a new phone (same number), with no access to the old one since the screen's broken. I can't figure out how to link my computer account (still working) with my new phone. How do I generate the QR code from the computer Signal destop app?

  • fritzhuie Fritz (@fritzhuie) reported

    @jokoono @signalapp They're not mutually exclusive, but adding bitcoin doesn't solve the problems they're looking to tackle If the mobilecoin integration is successful, I don't see any reason that btc etc could follow down the road

  • hybr1z ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ (@hybr1z) reported

    @signalapp is getting rid of phone number as identifier on this year's roadmap ? would be great if Signal supported YAT as a username/login :D

  • mehrabianmehrab Mehrab Mehrabian (@mehrabianmehrab) reported

    @signalapp Hello In Iran we can’t receive signal code to login our accounts What should we do about it?

  • CDsigma CDsigma (@CDsigma) reported

    @hodlchan @signalapp Signal is one of the most secure and private messaging platforms. Having to give a phone number is a problem but it does not mean they should abandon the concept of privacy and use a crypto currency where all there user’s transactions would be public /2

  • KeepCANsafe KeepingCanadaSafe 🇨🇦 (@KeepCANsafe) reported

    @signalapp need to do something about the load times for your Mac client. It’s loading a lot of messages and launch time as much as 5 minutes. First world problems. ;)

  • steebchen Luca Steeb (@steebchen) reported

    @signalapp Maybe improve the messaging experience first. There are so many bugs, connecting issues in Signal Desktop, UI etc... why bother payments with some random shitcoin? Wanna 10x my donation or what?

  • chadmccullough Chad McCullough 🌻 (@chadmccullough) reported

    @ChrisWiegman @signalapp @latenightlinux I'm seriously disappointed. So many much more important features that could have been added to the service but they chose to spend all their energy on this. Sad to say that I donated on multiple occasions but now I'm looking for a different service.

  • Tobi_PeterG Tobias Görgens (@Tobi_PeterG) reported

    @signalapp I think cryptocurrencies are too unpredictable. Might cause some trouble for signal users

  • eey0re Oliver (@eey0re) reported

    @Affenrakete @signalapp It's still the most secure messenger option, I think. They just clearly don't need our money if they're off having cryptocurrency adventures while there are still private message problems to solve.

  • chrisalexthomas Christopher Thomas (@chrisalexthomas) reported

    Why can't @signalapp change phone numbers? This is a basic feature. Also, signal has no basic issue tracker where you can do feature requests? Really disappointed so far.

  • BMIBenkert Brennan Benkert (@BMIBenkert) reported

    @signalapp What are the steps to take when a device using Signal is broken (unusable) and replaced? Old device was android, new device is iOS (using same phone number)

  • volpegabriel87 Gabrieλ Voλpe (@volpegabriel87) reported

    @Razzee @CampingWeller @signalapp It's not my cam, it happens on different phones (Sony Xperia and OnePlus 5T). The photos are okay, it's just broken in Signal.

  • paulopereira Paulo Pereira (@paulopereira) reported

    @signalapp Proud of this great work? Sorry, nobody wants it. How about you fix the sharing of videos which still doesn’t work? That would be useful.

  • CapMetalMarvel Cap (@CapMetalMarvel) reported

    @signalapp You should’ve used bitcoin, not some shitcoin. You’ll realize the gravity of your error in due time

  • teslamuskfan 😝 (@teslamuskfan) reported

    @jokoono @signalapp Bitcoin isn’t private that’s the problem. Signal is all about privacy so Bitcoin doesn’t fit

  • XAUUSD__An Angela 👑 CFA 🎓 🏦 (@XAUUSD__An) reported

    @signalapp I hope your customer service department can do better and solve everyone's problems.

  • CorentinMichel_ Michel Corentin (@CorentinMichel_) reported

    @signalapp But I discovered that these Terms of Service only deal with Industry communication ?! What will exactly change ?

  • AngerMCS Matt (@AngerMCS) reported

    @es_wird_wieder @signalapp Yes, that's the correct response. Not questioning why the team has spent years neglecting issues and providing 0 real changes. "Go fix it yourself!". Signal is a company. They have funding and devs. Why should I donate my free time and money to fix their software?

  • MisterToyBear Teddy "not a murderous robot mascot" Bear (@MisterToyBear) reported

    @koto_japan88 @signalapp Because he wants to ge able to send private messages, and he knows his own service doesn't offer that.
