Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GuardaWallet Guarda (@GuardaWallet) reported

    @sales_bitcoin @signalapp Our team is working on the issue at this very moment - as soon as everything is fixed, you'll see a notification in your wallet.

  • kurth2909 Kurt Hackenberg (@kurth2909) reported from Froideville, Canton de Vaud

    @lyckaform @signalapp Yes I do know that. And do you know that Siri runs as much as possible locally on your device, and if it relies on servers, it does so anonymously? So theoretically, there’s not a big problem with that... sure if you use Google assistant or Alexa, yes there is a privacy concern..

  • moliellama m (@moliellama) reported

    @sakeblues @signalapp @session_app same, though i am trying to make heads or tails of the aussie back door privacy laws issue

  • MrCrypto008 xM. Crypto (@MrCrypto008) reported

    @signalapp You forgot two with privacy by default. @monero and @HavenXHV 🤔 Can you please fix that?

  • papalifelondon Papa Life London (@papalifelondon) reported

    Anyone else having issues sending videos taken in the @signalapp just tried it twice and all it sends is a blank video and on viewing it the app locks up

  • yubi_bharath Bharath (@yubi_bharath) reported

    @signalapp Not getting timely notifications these days, happening to friends too..seems to be some issue. If any Please fix soon, all my migrated friends have second thoughts now coz of performance issues!

  • DesignBywaqas Waqas Jibran 🇵🇰🇹🇷 (@DesignBywaqas) reported

    @sagarkul90 @signalapp @wevrare i have this issue and it's very annoying

  • natural_2718_ln なにがし (@natural_2718_ln) reported

    @signalapp Starting signal, the lock of signal(using my fingerprint registered by my smartphone) sometimes precedes my smartphone's lock. Hence, sometimes I can't operate my smartphone. Which causes this trouble, signal app or my smartphone...?

  • Eizy1337 Jan (@Eizy1337) reported

    @signalapp @keyboardofGeoff My friend on android doesn‘t get notifications. But he has them allowed. Reinstalling didn‘t help either. He is using an One Plus phone.

  • 0xJoey Joey (@0xJoey) reported

    @signalapp Signal is down in China...

  • omynuts sqrl.eth ⟠ (@omynuts) reported

    @signalapp @isabels_moment its useful because if you make a m̶i̶s̶t̶a̶k̶e̶ error while typing, you can strikethrough and type again without deleting the message and leaving the person guessing what it was you deleted

  • apjyotirmay Apurv (@apjyotirmay) reported

    @zer0days_ @wevrare @signalapp You can say, "trust issues"

  • NicoleY57427293 Nicole Yu (@NicoleY57427293) reported

    @signalapp Hi signal, if has you been blocked in mainland China? I can’t receive sms to verify ytd. If can get some help?

  • colourdiscovery Eben Farnworth (@colourdiscovery) reported

    @PaulGit @YuanfenYang @signalapp Signal fixed their service in Iran, so I guess they will fix it in China too, likely through this advanced settings feature in the coming weeks.

  • Dai_Hael Yeni (@Dai_Hael) reported

    @signalapp I dont get any notifications on my desktop app (mac) ... what could be the problem ? notifications under preferences are on but i still dont get any ... help :)

  • strangfeld_io Marvin Strangfeld (@strangfeld_io) reported

    @kurth2909 @signalapp What Apple says and what they really do can be two different things. The problem is that you have no way to verify their statements because their software isn't open source. For the best privacy possible you don't want to trust, you want proofs.

  • D3SOX nico (@D3SOX) reported

    @pankomputerek @signalapp @isabels_moment Just tap on the little camera in the chat box and hold down the shutter button

  • BrooksRose15 Brooks Rose (@BrooksRose15) reported

    @chenweihua @onlyyoontv @signalapp Chen! You silly goose. Stop lying. My friend's brother's uncle tried to use it in Shanghai on Tuesday and said its shut down. Now, let Jack Ma have his media back!

  • NourddineAfra Nou A (@NourddineAfra) reported

    @signalapp Hi, today I received this message from this number with Amzon alias.. I didn't opened this message because is suspected @signalapp @moxie please can you help me to understand what's this. Tanks

  • Kangkan01076803 Kangkang (@Kangkan01076803) reported

    @signalapp why Signal out of service in China mainland?

  • plmorpheus Przemek Malik 🇺🇸🇪🇺🇵🇱 (@plmorpheus) reported

    @signalapp is there any issue with your app on iOS? When I try to send photo and use system share button I don’t see you app in suggestions, and I even cannot add your app. I must open your app and send from it... iOS 14.4.1

  • noclipsetto1 vibing at 3am (@noclipsetto1) reported

    @buchwasa @NadeshikoKagami @signalapp That something has been sent *and* who’s sent it to whom, also there is the issue of metadata but I don’t have enough knowledge on that subject. My point is you can’t put all your trust (or your info) in a single app.

  • Asenov56 Nikolay Asenov (@Asenov56) reported

    Hey @signalapp, when trying sending videos 2+ minutes long in a group chat, it doesn’t allow me, resulting in errors.

  • Eukodol Naked Lunch (@Eukodol) reported

    @signalapp No doubt. I should trust sharing my bank name, account name and coordinates, right here, should not be an issue?

  • matt_barrie Matt Barrie (@matt_barrie) reported

    @WilliamYang120 @signalapp Well the good news about that is it indicates that it hasn't been broken.. yet.

  • qweqaz520 方晶 (@qweqaz520) reported

    @signalapp The login method is only a phone number, no email assistance?the verification code cannot be received

  • dunxen Duncan (irc:sunon) (@dunxen) reported

    @moliellama @signalapp @wevrare If someone already has your number, you might have worse privacy problems. Plus the more people that use signal, the less it matters that your contact can see you use Signal.

  • MathPiPsi MathPi (@MathPiPsi) reported

    @signalapp hey Signal, how come every time I video chat a lag grows and the call becomes so laggy we have to restart? We don't have this issue with other apps.

  • securetty_ Frederick (@securetty_) reported

    @Eizy1337 @signalapp @keyboardofGeoff I have this problem too.

  • 0xJoey Joey (@0xJoey) reported
