Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • uelijohner Ueli Johner (@uelijohner) reported

    @signalapp desktop updates are a joke. Slow it down!

  • henryjwallis Henry Wallis (@henryjwallis) reported

    @signalapp I cannot use your service due to constant captchas if you dont fix this i will have to migrate all my contacts off of your platform this is completely unacceptable

  • preetaman614 OneForAll (@preetaman614) reported

    Hey @signalapp The screen rotation during video call when we tilt the phone 180° is kinda frustrating. I had to tilt it several time to fix it. Please provide us a better update.

  • SovietMercedes Her Majesty Soviet-Mercedes 👑 (@SovietMercedes) reported

    @LILGOVERNMENT @signalapp This is bullshit. Signál please fix 😭

  • jazzhoyt Jasmine Hoyt (@jazzhoyt) reported

    @signalapp is the service down? Can’t open my app

  • xarbit Jason Scurtu (@xarbit) reported

    I’d rather use @signalapp illegal in the EU then use signal legally if you choose to follow the planned eu regulations. Please resist or i would simply stop using any messenger service. #sensursula #privacymatters @Europarl_EN

  • yestinj Yestin Johnson (@yestinj) reported

    Is some consistency with what emojis are called too much to ask? There are a few apps, such as @signalapp, that seems to call the emojis something different.. Making it hard to track down what I want 😢

  • LexDaMarin Lex DaMarin (@LexDaMarin) reported

    @signalapp here's a crazy idea... If it's not broken, don't fix it! Since the last two or three updates, all calls are being dropped, they don't connect, or most frustrating, I get a notification that someone is calling me on Signal, but the Answer/Decline window doesn't appear.

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @signalapp just did the recommended update now the app is crashing, cannot even open on iOS. Help.

  • rechelon William Gillis 🏴 (@rechelon) reported

    @rainingwildly @juliusmm9 @signalapp Yeah, I think this is it. I have issues with a variety of signal choices, but I suspect this is a fair choice. There's also the issue Moxie will inevitably bring up of false sense of security (eg it's easy to secretly take screenshots in snapchat if you have any tech skills)

  • rphv4eva ரதன் (@rphv4eva) reported

    @signalapp are you currently having issues with media? I'm unable to play any media via the app and the error is Media no longer available.

  • Scobleizer Robert Scoble (@Scobleizer) reported

    @technobaboo @matrixdotorg @signalapp We need much more encryption than our systems currently use. A lot more. Lots of problems all of a sudden in society that we need system-level protections from. And I know the industry hasn’t invested nearly enough here.

  • IamSaifRK Advocate for #PakUS relationship (@IamSaifRK) reported

    512 @WhatsApp is still lagging far behind the @signalapp on this issue of groups capacity which is 1000 in signal. So whatsapp will have to do more to attain the level of signal.

  • RealDeltaEthos_ Delta ETH🍊S 🕳🐇 -Z (@RealDeltaEthos_) reported

    @signalapp Please help me and others move away from Google Messages by allowing text messages on Signal to sync to Signal on Desktop. One place for all messaging! :-)

  • MilanGriffes Milan Griffes (@MilanGriffes) reported

    @altsanabo @liminal_warmth If @signalapp made an email client I'd be SO DOWN

  • JenBuermann Jennifer Buermann (@JenBuermann) reported

    @signalapp App isn’t working for me right now; I’m getting an “optimizing database” message and app won’t open. Problem on my end or yours?

  • NJDevils26 Lou (@NJDevils26) reported

    @signalapp messages are not delivering and it’s been an issue all day. No one from support has gotten back to me

  • seaghanMK Seaghán🥊🎭 (@seaghanMK) reported

    @AppleSupport for some reason I’m not receiving any notifications for messages on WhatsApp or Signal on my iPhone. Software up to date. All settings are to allow and show notifications but they’re not working @WhatsApp @signalapp

  • puretruehumble Marie 🌿 (@puretruehumble) reported

    @LowIQDegen2 @disclosetv @signalapp Won't help. The law is all about circumventing E2E encryption by controlling the content directly on ur phone, i.e. before/after encryption.

  • bbqsec Nick Ford (@bbqsec) reported

    Anyone know why Signal seems to issue updates on a daily basis? @signalapp

  • msimonpietri M. (@msimonpietri) reported

    Hey @signalapp, since I've updated my @oneplus 8 pro to Android 12 I have issues with notifications... I've checked all the settings but nothing working... Any idea?

  • hengstenberg Oliver J. Hengstenberg (@hengstenberg) reported

    Preparing for #ADIBF I expect @signalapp to have problems, but that I should have problems in the EU soon too...?!

  • uelijohner Ueli Johner (@uelijohner) reported

    .@signalapp desktop app updates are a joke. Slow it down!

  • ryantcwynar Ryan | cwynar.eth (@ryantcwynar) reported

    Alright guys... can we stop trying to save $Luna and just let it die so the big coins can stabilize and gas fees can go down? I'm trying to move some $SNT around to compete with @signalapp on my phone

  • yestinj Yestin Johnson (@yestinj) reported

    Is some consistency with that emojis are called too much to ask? There are a few apps, such as @signalapp , that seems to call the emojis something different.. Making it hard to track down what I want 😢

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 🇺🇦 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @NJDevils26 @signalapp Do you still have the problem? If so via mobile and WiFi? What exactly is displayed to you?

  • twitnextdoor Deviloper (@twitnextdoor) reported

    @roelraymond Remember how the SL government shut it down these weeks? WA is not designed to resist censorship so they could have kept that up for way longer, like Easter '19. Time to go @signalapp; it has also had reactions for a looong time if that's what you're after.

  • keithrconrad Keith Conrad (@keithrconrad) reported

    Anybody else having issues with @signalapp sending weird notifications every minute or so?

  • Keitmaan1 Kaytmaan Bhatti (@Keitmaan1) reported

    @signalapp Only problem is why the online status of recipient is not available on this app? It should be available if you want to replace Whatsapp. Thank me later

  • BlogMiamando Meehame (@BlogMiamando) reported

    @gregoryneven @signalapp @VincentVQ Is that why the app crashed? It’s not working after an update in the US
