  • krisbe11 krishna Srinivasan (@krisbe11) reported

    @signalapp Thanks for the update but make sure next time onwards you have to fix it quick!!!! Because lot of users will be migrating to signal!!!! My 2 cents.

  • RealSeanLederer Sean Lederer (@RealSeanLederer) reported

    @signalapp What is the issue?

  • nicolasgrcia Nicolas Garcia (@nicolasgrcia) reported

    @signalapp On iOS in France, the service is back to normal since at least 12h, thanks! 2 years that I am with your company. I no longer have #WhatsApp, #Facebook and #Messenger.

  • costa041 João Costa (@costa041) reported

    @signalapp Can't associate my device with the computer. It keeps giving netork error.

  • anoopmitra Anoop Mitra (@anoopmitra) reported

    @signalapp is the issue with access & sending messages still open? Few of my friends seem to be receiving messages but their response is not coming thru?

  • RealKyleSanders Kyle Sanders (@RealKyleSanders) reported

    @signalapp Signal calls are not working

  • tweetsbi sbi (@tweetsbi) reported

    @AJYWan @signalapp When my favorite messenger app has some scaling issues because they go from 10m to 50m in a single day, then that's not a debacle, it's teething troubles.

  • TSiltala Tero Siltala (@TSiltala) reported

    @signalapp I don’t have any problems 🙏 Signal is working great 👍🏻

  • bjtinnyc quarantine vibes (@bjtinnyc) reported

    @EWDurbin @IanColdwater @signalapp The platform is entirely open source, this wasn’t a malicious 3rd party, it was simply a technical load issue from a 5x increase of users in the space of a week.

  • AaronToponce Aaron Toponce 🐧💻 (@AaronToponce) reported

    This is probably a given, but while @signalapp is working to fully restore reliable service for all users, maybe refrain from sending media such a photos and videos to your contacts for the time being. If everyone did this, imagine all the freed up bandwidth for text.

  • cryptograthor Thor wants you (to resist technocracy) (@cryptograthor) reported

    @CringeDisciple @signalapp just that virtue signaling takes no server down time

  • Yaakovkovi Yaakov (@Yaakovkovi) reported

    @signalapp I'll wait. Hope you can fix as soon as possible.

  • ServerAutomatic Automatic Server (@ServerAutomatic) reported

    @signalapp Possible to help somehow for free?

  • 21stCenturyMen_ 21stCenturyMen (@21stCenturyMen_) reported

    @signalapp Why is it taking so long? It shouldn't take multiple days to add more servers unless its a code issue maybe?

  • linuxnet_ch petbau (@linuxnet_ch) reported

    The problem with @signalapp : I can‘t access my photos for sending 🙁

  • dajoekersole ✕☐◯△ (@dajoekersole) reported

    @fideChinedu @signalapp LOL! None profit, they don't have the funds that others have. For them to fix it and learn from it, I'm down with them.

  • showkatboss showkatboss (@showkatboss) reported

    @signalapp Signal app is not showing online make it online service then we see who’s online and last seen

  • MattDementous Matt Cohen (@MattDementous) reported

    @Lazer @signalapp same issue on my end, but it seems as if the messages are going through. Perhaps not checking for received message receipts gives them more server bandwidth for the new users as a temporary measure? Not sure.

  • KevDJJones Kevin Devine-Jones (@KevDJJones) reported

    @signalapp If signal were a lot worse, it'd still be better than a lot of the alternatives. This sudden growth is a really good thing, and I don't mind waiting. My service is mostly back to normal, too. Keep up the good work!

  • coloradoangel8 Angela HEY HEY HEY GOODBYEEEE 🍊 (@coloradoangel8) reported

    @signalapp ok ok this is a little excessive for just doing the bare minimum to provide your service uninterrupted, which was not happening.

  • AwareMap AwareMap (@AwareMap) reported

    @signalapp @JaneLytv DOWN DUE TO FORCE TO IMPLEMENT BACK-DOOR FOR @NSAGov

  • XMjwal Jace (@XMjwal) reported

    @AaronToponce @signalapp Interestingly, I think this is the very first service interruption I've ever had with Signal.

  • Wijkkie Jack (@Wijkkie) reported

    @ashtonpittman @signalapp You are so stupid ( Biden voter ) This has nothing to with that !! Whatsapp is the problem ! They share youre data now with Fakebook !!!

  • bpalms9600 Ben Palmer (@bpalms9600) reported

    @sn80 @signalapp Of course. My point is that when people enjoy a service, they will be motivated to keep it alive.

  • WindSantana_ IG:WinderGraphic (@WindSantana_) reported

    @signalapp It was about time to see if the service does not fall again and how much it can support

  • sollieman Sollieman (@sollieman) reported

    @signalapp any update on the outage please?

  • DrowningSparky Insert_Name_Here (@DrowningSparky) reported

    @fideChinedu @signalapp It's a free non profit service. If you want better results, give them money.

  • AaronToponce Aaron Toponce 🐧💻 (@AaronToponce) reported

    @signalapp Looking forward to the wrietup on the details and some transparency that caused the outage. No doubt it was due to the stress of new user signups, but why 40 hours to restore service?

  • ManasviSareen Manasvi Sareen (@ManasviSareen) reported

    @signalapp yeh! Please don't go down again.

  • Ketut89833192 Ketut (@Ketut89833192) reported
