    What's the problem with being unable to post media files in your app @signalapp I've been trying to just post a video clip for the past 6 hours! @SignalMessenger

  • archicelik Aylin 🦁 (@archicelik) reported

    @signalapp can i copy my WhatsApp chats (including all media, voicemails, ..) into signal? And is it possible to backup my chats on android and then use this backup on ios if i decide to buy a new phone for example? (That’s really an issue with WA just saying 👀)

  • goldgautama Gautama (@goldgautama) reported

    @signalapp What about iOS and Android security backdoors? Nobody talking about it, but it's a real threat to privacy... What are your thoughts on this issue?

  • WebZeeNet WebZee (@WebZeeNet) reported

    @signalapp Not appreciated. This kind of ad will not help you to grow. Be straight, but remain professional.

  • wdikleonel Leonel Franco (@wdikleonel) reported

    @signalapp as a default SMS app, Signal sends over 10 sms messages (the same message) to my recipients... Been happening for over 3 weeks now. Help please.

  • DrCyco Sheikh Saad (@DrCyco) reported

    @signalapp We NEED username login without phone number. Screw stories and last seen. Stay a privacy-oriented messenger. Bring privacy features. Phone number and notifying contacts joining Signal is a huge blow to privacy.

  • mglennie MG (@mglennie) reported

    @signalapp Never intended monthly donation, one time only, I doubt I made an error on the app because it defaults to a one time payment. I'm usually pretty careful w/ things like this. Can you please correct this? I hit the link to donorbox, but it won't let me on to change.

  • Abdulgh28355916 Abdulghani (@Abdulgh28355916) reported

    @signalapp With iran number not receiving verification code when sending mail to signal support،The problem is still unresolved, no one responds except for the auto emails I received that do not solve the problem.

  • fraabye Frederik Raabye (@fraabye) reported

    Dear @signalapp could you please fix sharing to allow non-signal contacts again? At least make it a setting.

  • asifprome Asif I. Prome (@asifprome) reported

    @signalapp You guys talk about ONLY privacy, but never care about your app's quality. Call drop, Slower texting, invisible gallery images sometimes... Lot of issues. Come on! Don't just market your app just based on privacy... Monopoly doesn’t last too long.

  • jaggedmusic95 jagged music ミ☆ (@jaggedmusic95) reported

    @signalapp I am having trouble transferring my signal info over to my new iPhone. Keeps saying transfer failed. Can you help?

  • ILikeToTwirl Stefanie (@ILikeToTwirl) reported

    @roamingraghu @lnkslingerrr @signalapp I can understand it's useful for that. Trouble is people are using it like Instagram. I can honestly say I never open status updates. Even on here with Fleets. I guess I just don't want Signal to conform.

  • SiddharthJesani Siddharth Jesani (@SiddharthJesani) reported

    @signalapp you should go for dual account login

  • o_burbidge Owen 🎗 (@o_burbidge) reported

    @cheekypj @signalapp Hence why FB is desperately fighting Apple to take them down. The more people who know, the more chance people have of making an informed decision. FB would rather you not do that

  • dgdw Derek Weber (@dgdw) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    It looks like @signalapp ‘s “share to signal” functionality from the Photos app on iOS 14.4 w/the 12 Pro Max is broken. It brings me to the unlock signal screen then just gets stuck in a loop.

  • Ali_Ghodrat Ali.Ghodrat (@Ali_Ghodrat) reported

    @signalapp Please shut down your service, and come again when you're ready to deliver a good service. 🙏

  • ryderglobal Doug Ryder (@ryderglobal) reported

    @signalapp @rafaelarzm This is also happening on my iphone in Canada (with Fido). I can get messages from Whatsapp, but only in Signal when the app is open. This issue only started on Friday and restarting doesn't help.

    @zerohedge TL;DR -We can access your signal messages IF we can unlock your phone -Headline expectations not aligned with actual misrepresented entry point -End to End encryption works as intended -@signalapp service fundamentals intact

  • MichaelKapl Michael (@MichaelKapl) reported

    @signalapp Hi guys, are you aware that some users (including me) gut an error message frequently, when someone quotes an older message? Often times the error-message „Original message not found“ pops up.
