  • HAXQ2fVWOnFFHrA jwl (@HAXQ2fVWOnFFHrA) reported

    @signalapp I can live with teething problems, not with security concerns (whatsapp).

  • Jacob69606553 Jacob (@Jacob69606553) reported

    @signalapp I started facing an issue with the Signal Android application. Messages are slowly sent without apparent reason (network quality is good and other applications works just fine).

  • SpeedyR0B0T SpeedyR0B0T (@SpeedyR0B0T) reported

    @signalapp @RuaBanrion You have to open the Individual chats and the secure the session then the groups will work fine or wait for the update which will fix this. Please be patient :)

  • BarbossHack BarbossHack 🏴‍☠️ (@BarbossHack) reported

    @session_app @signalapp Where do you store, in your decentralised network, messages if group participants are offline ? I mean, if « John Doe » shut down his node, can we loose messages ? (Just asking)

  • AyushmaanDas6 fullmetal126 (@AyushmaanDas6) reported

    @signalapp are you ever planning to make the PC app better? As of now it has huge ram usage and members cannot be added to groups in the pc version. I really y'all fix these issues in the future.

  • WilluMilkit James (@WilluMilkit) reported

    @signalapp Love the app. Great and quick support last week when I had issues with @Telus but not @FreedomMobile

  • rplevy Robert E. P. Levy (rplevy@gmail.com) (@rplevy) reported

    I started to receive all @signalapp messages as "bad encrypted message" so I cleared cache & data. Now it seems to regard me as a new user and I lost my message history. I did change my phone number a few weeks back but the problem only started a few days ago, around the downtime

  • boogaav Andrey (@boogaav) reported

    @moxie @elonmusk @signalapp it sounds like a good problem to have :)

  • MohammedHHamid Mohammed Hamid (@MohammedHHamid) reported

    Wow! @signalapp Desktop app is phenomenally broken. unuseable!!!

  • blaze_tundra Blaze Tundra (@blaze_tundra) reported

    @realwillkenzie @signalapp I think they said they've been having issues with verification and that their working on fixing it, so that might be why they aren't replying. Still, it's not difficult to type up a quick "we're aware of the issue and working to fix it", so that's not an *amazing* excuse.

  • kbsingh Karanbir Singh (@kbsingh) reported

    @jwildeboer @JvJean1971 @signalapp S/incompetent/ human error, system fails, social hijack, upstream /downstream compromise etc etc.. the many ways that data and privacy are lost to unmoderated and uncontrollable players.

  • kundankumar01 Kundan Kr. Singh (@kundankumar01) reported

    @signalapp plz check, messages are not getting synced on mobile signal app while sending message from signal desktop app to other signal contacts. Neither msg sent by mobile nor sent by desktop are showing up in another linked device.. do anyone facing same problem. Plz respond

  • KotaroKashima4 Kōtarō (@KotaroKashima4) reported

    @signalapp When are you going to fix group chat message outages?

  • realwillkenzie William Kenzie (@realwillkenzie) reported

    @blaze_tundra @signalapp I don't blame them as they made a public announcement, I do not expect their representatives to reply to *every* tweet, just want to make them aware in case they thought the issue was fixed.

  • realwillkenzie William Kenzie (@realwillkenzie) reported

    @blaze_tundra @signalapp Because the servers aren't responding, I am not receiving the verification code. I'm telling them what servers are likely not working.

  • JanAxelJonsson Jan Jonsson (@JanAxelJonsson) reported

    @BtCmagnet @mullvadnet @signalapp Bitcoin payments enabled again. Problem was hardware ( server crash)

  • Adrusi Rogue Joann (@Adrusi) reported

    @Maniacbolts @elonmusk @signalapp End-to-end encrypted group chats were not sufficiently secure and practical before Signal released the Signal Ratchet née Axolotl. It's a hard problem already to get done securely. Decentralization is also hard. I'm more inclined to trust that a centralized service didn't **** up

  • godsflaw Christopher Mooney (@godsflaw) reported

    @moxie @elonmusk @signalapp Yeah, messaging going down is not like a website going down. In the worst case, like email, the messages queue and must be delivered. The longer you’re down, the longer the backlog you must clear. You can get overrun by that backlog real fast. Keep up the important work.

  • MahamoudShaikh Mahamoud Shaikh (@MahamoudShaikh) reported from Al Farwānīyah, Muḩāfaz̧at al Farwānīyah

    @signalapp if the messages send from desktop version, I cannot see it in my mobile application please fix this as soon as possible.

  • its_babez 𝙼𝚢 𝙽𝚊𝚖𝚎 𝙸𝚜...... (@its_babez) reported

    @djSTICKYBUDS @kingmunchie3rd @signalapp Then I don’t know what that means. Help me understand please. Normal text messages??? Or maybe I should download on android so I could understand better. How is that possible if I may ask?

  • sm5mohamed Mohamed Sadiq (@sm5mohamed) reported

    @signalapp Hi its not working for International video calls and voice calls

  • cyberswats CyberSWATS (@cyberswats) reported

    Though @signalapp is back online after a massive global outage, but it is still facing a lot of performance issues, simply sending a picture takes forever and sending a video clip, forget about it.

  • iDineshJangid Dinesh Jangid (@iDineshJangid) reported

    In @signalapp have one problem When I'm messaging to Anyone They're replying quickly but issue is that Notification sound is not Ringing when messages received me I checked Notification sound is on .. And everything is well in my phone Please fixed and resolved it soon

  • raineworks ᕙ( • ‿ • )ᕗ (@raineworks) reported

    @Snowden @signalapp needs to move over to @IPFS before #BigTech tries to shut it down.

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @raptorzghost @signalapp thats terrible for privacy.

  • Maniacbolts Manny (@Maniacbolts) reported

    @raptorzghost @signalapp perhaps im not technically minded enough to understand this problem well enough but my guess would be this would be insecure.

  • MdSakib27194591 محمد ثاقب (@MdSakib27194591) reported

    Hey @signalapp I have downloaded the signal app, I have liked all the things in this app, but soon the system of setting the states in it is just a problem of the states, if you complete it then it will be better....!?

  • GuruJation GuruJ (@GuruJation) reported

    @Snowden I like the idea of @signalapp and what it represents. But surely it still suffers the problem of all major 21st century Internet apps of being a single point of failure? How long until it "accidentally" gets a DoS attack because a government decides it is too risky to leave up?

  • Aritra_7 Aritra (@Aritra_7) reported

    @signalapp guys the Mac version of the app just freezes. Its not working. Do look at it.
