Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • lywyn Elmo Muggsy (@lywyn) reported

    @Android I have never had this issue texting my daughter's iPhone. SMS works fine and for anything more I recommend a secure text app over weak RCS. Try @signalapp for a better tick experience.

  • sshbrnv Sasha (@sshbrnv) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp folks, please, fix the app. It regularly stops updating chats on the desktop, and the UI is so clunky. I really want to use Signal and I was donating to it, but it's literally unusable now. :(

  • BarrySteeleNB 💧Barry Steele (@BarrySteeleNB) reported

    Why has @signalapp removed my contact list and replaced it with history? It's getting harder to use and with the dropping of SMS, this app is losing it's attraction very quickly. Give me back my landing page. This is terrible customer experience management.

  • karl_louis_ Karl Louis (@karl_louis_) reported

    @signalapp Not working.

  • Badger_of_Hon3y TheHoneyBadger (@Badger_of_Hon3y) reported

    @signalapp Mastodon has real security and privacy issues, no e2ee and the admin on the servers can see any private dms between two parties

  • MaheshKAhuja Mahesh Ahuja (@MaheshKAhuja) reported

    @signalapp Although I don't feel anything for stories, it might help with broader adoption. I wish you kept SMS support, but I understand it doesn't fit the security model. I do hope you could implement usernames or other form of ID replacing phonenumber.

  • MarieFehmarn 🇩🇪 Marié ☮️ Fehmarn 🇺🇦 (@MarieFehmarn) reported

    @pquade @signalapp No problem. :-) I mean everyone should decide for themselves what they do with their data and profiles, Im not going to mastodon.

  • hhk_hhk999 hhk (@hhk_hhk999) reported

    @signalapp Anyone, why proxy on Signal is not working anymore. Check it out yourself.

  • MarkWillard85 Mark Willard (@MarkWillard@worldkey.io) (@MarkWillard85) reported

    @imaginography71 @signalapp It also unfortunately doesn't help that the "official" iOS app sucks. The signup process is a lot better in a browser. If you signup in a browser and then use a third party app like Metatext, Tootle, or Mastoot I think you'll have a much better experience overall.

  • Here666Egg Richest Derrick (@Here666Egg) reported

    @lauracrocco @signalapp If your account is hacked I suggest you message tron_cybernetic on Instagram he just help me recover mine

  • vahidlazio Sky (@vahidlazio) reported

    @signalapp Hi, please enable login with email instead of phone number.

  • Tonys_Write Tony B (@Tonys_Write) reported

    @signalapp Can't believe you are pushing this over SMS. I will sadly have to find a new service.

  • OfficialGirish Girish Kumar 🇮🇳 (@OfficialGirish) reported

    @signalapp Updated to latest version 6.2 and still same issue.

  • lazerwalker emilia ✨ (parody) (@lazerwalker) reported

    @RainofTerra @signalapp Probably doesn't help you today, but part of their explicit public reasoning for killing Android SMS support was that being a blocker to moving away from phone numbers as usernames

  • JoshuaSteinman joshua steinman (🇺🇸,🇺🇸) (@JoshuaSteinman) reported

    @kpertsev @signalapp God help us all

  • Jim6679375 Jaymal (@Jim6679375) reported

    @jenplusplus @signalapp I thought @elonmusk was gonna fix dms?

  • EnigmaMachine9 Enigma Machine (@EnigmaMachine9) reported

    @jenplusplus @scottageer @signalapp Also even if it was true AWS isn't magic. I am not sure how non-software people think AWS work but it very much requires a lot of engineers to maintain the backend service even if you move the infrastructure to cloud.

  • A_Alkhouri84 بنت عبدالله (@A_Alkhouri84) reported

    @signalapp The application is not working after the last update

  • rodneyes Rod 🌎🌍🌏 (@rodneyes) reported

    1/4 Many realized old messenger apps were a disgrace in terms of privacy and moved to alternative apps like @signalapp The problem: Signal requires your mobile number and is moving their focus out of privacy into social network,etc The solution: 1. @session_app 2. @ThreemaApp

  • MikeSofaer Michael Sofaer (@MikeSofaer) reported

    @signalapp I just transferred to a new Android device and now the app crashes about a second and a half after I open it every time. Any ideas what I can do to fix?

  • samehysabry Sameh Sabry (@samehysabry) reported

    Hey guys, your app keeps on crashing before it is even fully launched (post authentication), are you familiar with that problem? @signalapp

  • emendieren Emen Dieren ❤🖤 #Kassel #Watch (@emendieren) reported

    to people of #iran or other countries: we run a #signal proxy. in case your government blocks specific messenger services (such as @signalapp) but has not shut down internet completely, you can use it to bypass the block DM me for details if you're interested #IRanASignalProxy

  • imaginography71 Matt (@imaginography71) reported

    @MarkWillard85 @signalapp My issue was I went to it and it made zero sense intuitively. If that’s a barrier for me, like 70% of Twitter users will struggle and won’t use it.

  • helioscircuit null (@helioscircuit) reported

    @jenplusplus @signalapp Last month, I had realized my last workplace was toxic. Insane amounts of stress, turmoil, terrible management all the way up the chain, dreading every day and it crept into my personal life. I was worried but quit without another job lined up. Only regret is not leaving sooner.

  • JohnMShaker John Milad (@JohnMShaker) reported

    @signalapp The app doesn’t open after updating, please help!

  • JoeGAbdo Joe 🇱🇧 (@JoeGAbdo) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys, no one answers the support requests sent by email. How else to get help on an encountered and recurrent issue with your App ???

  • sunflowermochii S (@sunflowermochii) reported

    Help me bring it back or i will cry @signalapp
