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

  • CphD 🇲​🇦​🇷​🇹​🇮​🇳​ (@CphD) reported

    @iaryan_m @signalapp If you by chats mean signal messages, they're are stored on your device, encrypted. If you setup backup, you get a code. Only the code can unlock the stored backup. If you lose it, you lose the backup and none can help you.

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

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

    @signalapp is down

  • bonbonparteh bonbonparteh (@bonbonparteh) reported

    @signalapp A major problem I’ve been experiencing for some time now is that when I call someone via Signal their phone doesn’t ring. When they open a Signal they only get a missed call notification even though I’m still trying to call them.

  • 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.

  • RichyLogitech Richy Logitech (@RichyLogitech) reported

    @signalapp This is your time, fix it faster please. And make it accessible to all countries not just chosen ones.

  • sbiefeni stefano biefeni (@sbiefeni) reported

    @elonmusk @signalapp Help Signal. That would make a difference..

  • SakheSengwayo Sakhe (@SakheSengwayo) reported

    @signalapp Thanks for fixing the problem.

  • sharmapacific Prashant Sharma🇮🇳 (@sharmapacific) reported

    @signalapp Voice calling is not working

  • CphD 🇲​🇦​🇷​🇹​🇮​🇳​ (@CphD) reported

    @AnirbanRoyy @signalapp they're all there, but maybe not in the form you think.. try having a closer look at the settings, and use the help available via links in the app

  • bihireboris _b_boris (@bihireboris) reported

    @ValdasVaitiekus @MasterGuantai @signalapp same 😓, thought when scaling issues are done I do think the app needs some refining

  • kbsingh Karanbir Singh (@kbsingh) reported

    @jeremyeder @IanColdwater @signalapp Been trying to dig up some info on the service infra, not a lot of detail available. Very much look forward to a wash down...

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

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

  • STEVEN5579 Steven Nguyen (@STEVEN5579) reported

    @signalapp Mankind needs an effective solution to protect users information and data. No advertising, no back door. We are willing to contribute and/or to pay for such kind of service. I think Signal should provide a paid service to let us use with responsibility. Thank you.

  • ZAMA_84 ziyad (@ZAMA_84) reported

    @signalapp Had to go back .... you have been down for too long. How can we depend on your service to be up and running all the time!?

  • sriganeshr Sriganesh Raman (@sriganeshr) reported from Chennai, State of Tamil Nādu

    @TinaGurnaney as #hikemessenger closes down, I'm thinking about your question as to why it lost? It had so many features. @signalapp which probably is very basic is winning. Why? @kavinbm #messaging

  • Urja_Sggscc Urja SGGSCC (@Urja_Sggscc) reported

    First an Ad in newspapers then extending the deadline to May 15 and now putting up status, is @WhatsApp in trouble? Meanwhile @signalapp and @telegram have surpassed 500 million active user base! #WhatsappStatus #PrivacyPolicy

  • Smartcat168 Smartcat (@Smartcat168) reported

    @dicedbrain @anthowen03 @signalapp Very positive answer. But right from the start the are millions of users with expectation and the financial pressure on Signal is tremendous. Unlike Linux, it is limited to very small groups and any flaw in the o/s is the users own problem.

  • GabrielSassoon Gabriel Sassoon (@GabrielSassoon) reported

    @signalapp where’s your bug reporting system? Invite friends on iOS is broken; I try invite a friend from one country (including the + symbol) but Signal removes their country code and replaces it with my home country code. I’ve got a few bugs like this, and feature suggestions!

  • Healing_Cross Marcus Tesch (@Healing_Cross) reported

    Part of the problem with alternative messengers might be explained with this phenomenon. Sending a message to your friends with #WhatsApp: "Hey, dude, I just want to inform you: I sent you a message with @signalapp or @ThreemaApp rsp. Won't you answer me?

  • VetiNazreehlDr PawGod🐾 (@VetiNazreehlDr) reported

    @ScottAthey1 @signalapp But I don’t have any problem like that

  • Mydomain188 Mydomain (@Mydomain188) reported

    @signalapp Why not signal. app if you need I can help you get it.

  • WAYNE_IZ_BATMAN WAYNE (@WAYNE_IZ_BATMAN) reported

    @signalapp after reinstalling the signal app i am not getting notifications. I have to open the app everytime to check new messages. Help!

  • MrKeyXY K. Braun (@MrKeyXY) reported

    @signalapp During outage I sent my friend a msg. It could be sent (1 tick) but it didn't reach him. Today I sent a msg again. It arrived immediately & was read (2 filled ticks). Unfortunately, status of first msg is unchanged. Is there anything I can do to repeat transmission?

  • Qo_Olamilekan Qomardeen Olamilekan (@Qo_Olamilekan) reported

    @signalapp Uninstalling, cleaning remnant files and reinstalling the app have just helped me in rectifying the issue. However, not everyone knows that this works. Kindly include this amongst the troubleshooting options.

  • vantex24 David 🎲 (@vantex24) reported

    @signalapp Still got issues, some groups I can't see posts but can post to but others cannot see Nor can some messages get received to some contacts, while others are getting messages fine very weird

  • ananth Ananth Composes (@ananth) reported

    I'm not getting any replies in my signal chats? Is it due to @signalapp outage or simply people are avoiding me 🤔

  • T0BIAS_M Tobias M. (@T0BIAS_M) reported

    @signalapp Hey @signalapp I love what you’re doing!But ... One of my android-contacts has severe problems: Yesterday only my messages came through. Messages from other parties were not received - neither in group nor personal chats. Is that a side effect of your server problems?
