    @signalapp Is signal down?

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @_TimMcMahon @moxie @signalapp Think- "We showed this particular pigment added to normal makeup foundation makes the error rate in commercial face recognition software jump 50%, for that face and all subsequent faces. We'll be adding it to individual makeup palettes at random before they are shipped to stores"

  • arnabdofficial Arnab Das (@arnabdofficial) reported

    The PIN unlocking is not working over @signalapp for a couple of days now. Fingerprint works fine. Submitted the log for inspection couple of days back. #SignalApp #Android

  • BlnZeh Christian Meißner (@BlnZeh) reported

    @signalapp Strange behavior. Cleaning cache and storage of @signalapp does not solve the issue. I was not able to connect to service for validate my code for re-registration-lock. Deleting app, reinstalling, restore backup and re-registration works out for me. No idea what was going on.

  • btcsandglocks breakeronenine (@btcsandglocks) reported

    @fluffypony @signalapp you ever gonna fix this issue?

  • Jono_Straz Jonathon Strzina (@Jono_Straz) reported

    @signalapp Any plans to open up beta testing to other countries? I'd like to help out but don't live in the UK.

  • BlnZeh Christian Meißner (@BlnZeh) reported

    I have troouble with @signalapp. My android app can't connect to service. Apps aren't synchronized. Messages don't arrive. #signalapp #outage

  • dajoekersole ✕☐◯△ (@dajoekersole) reported

    @TheSignalCat @signalapp Yes, and I unplugged my PC and restarted my phone. Problem still persist.

  • ajay9266 Aj (@ajay9266) reported

    @signalapp signal app not working good ..notifications not poping up until we open app

  • seanodiggity Sean O'Brien (@seanodiggity) reported

    @FoxCahn @signalapp @moxie so far the blog post is smart to dance around the issues and use vague language... intention would be difficult to prove unless some other info came to light. I don't think Cellebrite wants to go into this guns blazing... by my reading, what they do is, ahem, legally questionable

  • twinkle_eye ✨ Twinkle👀 (@twinkle_eye) reported

    @signalapp worst app .. Problem with sending messages.

  • dindjic Drago Indjic/Инђић (@dindjic) reported

    @2igosha @signalapp just ask their drivers politely to slow down. In their own language.

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @NeoNakamoto98 @signalapp If the endpoint is compromised to the point someone can read files, they can also most likely add a key logger to eavesdrop on any password the derived key of which would encrypt data. Enable FDE for your OS and use strong password for that. The Problem is not in Signal's domain.

  • heineaaen Heine Aaen Hansen (@heineaaen) reported

    @signalapp Hi! You having technical issues? Messages are not received. Started yesterday. Have tried rebooting the phone. Not sure what else to do?

  • Zoulhh Dreckspoet (@Zoulhh) reported

    @signalapp Cannot send big JPEGs anymore. Neither on iPhone nor iPad. Not from within the app, not from sharesheet. JPEGs are approx 5000 x 4000 pixels. An error message pops up for a split second.

  • leonidasfromxiv Marek, lost in Twıtter (@leonidasfromxiv) reported

    @signalapp I am getting messages but can't send them, I get the spinner since so far ~1h. Status says the service is fine but this is not the case.

  • tony_bridges_el Ptoughneigh (@tony_bridges_el) reported

    @hexwaxwing @signalapp And future. In most cases, I doubt the prosecution would have a problem supporting their Cellebrite evidence from other sources.

  • George_harrap George Harrap ☀️ (@George_harrap) reported

    @xer0c @signalapp Yep was an issue for me too in past. Its due to some group phone number sharing setting which i think is only adjustable in the app, not the desktop as theyre not feature compatible (literally cannot delete groups on desktop). Pretty dumb the whole thing

  • cybervirginian Cyber Virginian (@cybervirginian) reported

    @signalapp "By a truly unbelievable coincidence, I was recently out for a walk when I saw a small package fall off a truck ahead of me." I cannot help but wonder exactly who just got 'got'...

  • NeoNakamoto98 Neo Nakamoto (@NeoNakamoto98) reported

    @markus_ottela @signalapp How they are not going to encrypt the files if they are the ones who develop the desktop software for their service, I don't believe that story. As simple as code that.

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

    @signalapp the app crashes every time I get notification and I open it. Only the second time it opens and I can operate. Can you help?

  • Chutusumgal Chutusumgal (@Chutusumgal) reported

    @signalapp Apparently you know nothing also when a customer send you multiple messages to get help with an issue with your app... Almost a week later and still no reply...not even a 'we got your messages we're busy at the moment/we're working on it...'

  • AngelaScholder Angela Scholder (@AngelaScholder) reported

    @RealGlenMerlin @1_800dream_bit @signalapp That was indeed the only issue I have with Signal. And they should makt it the default.

  • digisaatio Digisaatio (@digisaatio) reported

    @signalapp looks like desktop version has some problems in sending. Updating to 5.0 did not fix that.

  • yaleman43381258 James Hodgkinson (@yaleman43381258) reported

    @Erstejahre @signalapp What are the implications when your device, with software you installed, causes problems for law enforcement systems? Active defence leads to a legal or kinetic in a lot of situations....

  • sylvia_posh Sylvia Posh❤🔱🔱🔱 (@sylvia_posh) reported

    @_TaxMeIfYouCan_ @DuchyRE @signalapp once had same issues but I got help from password-track on Instagram he I a genius

  • typical_todd Todd 😷 (@typical_todd) reported

    @signalapp do you guys provide signal support? Having so many issues. It won't let me join new groups (I have no other linked devices and my app is already up to date).

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @_TimMcMahon @moxie @signalapp You don't actually have to do it in order to **** with the face recognition software provider and help all the people that its software hurts, if anything actually doing it creates problems. You just have to show it could be done and could be happening.

  • RLL_777 Jurko (@RLL_777) reported

    @lmojzis @signalapp Same problem here...

  • streek405 Bob dylan (@streek405) reported

    @signalapp Something is wrong with the app for android....I am unable to send any messages to one person (hasnt been sent after 30+ min of hanging) but I do not have the same issue with any other user. Restarting phone/clearing cache doesnt do anything, same for data to wifi.
