@Jmw986 @signalapp The problem is, it was hard to convince people. And suddenly the app doesn't work anymore because of the lack of updates. Many people don't want to use it any more. Then they prefer to write via whatsapp. For some, that's too much effort for too few chat partners.

@Fervent403332 @signalapp If the issue is as serious as you say you should document the problem on their GitHub, or official forums. Spamming them on Twitter is not going to get you the kind of attention you're looking for.

@signalapp I deleted my WhatsApp account this week. Sometimes we need to ask, How much data to we want to give 1 company? Why do we 'accept' for convenience? Why do we allow 1 company to collect data on us when we haven't signed up to that service?

@faltenbalg @signalapp The fundamental problem with web interfaces is: there's no way to version, sign and securely distribute a web page. Instead, you're re-requesting the code you'll run every single time you visit the site (making audits practically impossible).

@MeinNamenichdu @signalapp First of all it's a non profit company , they are providing us service for free, what are you expecting??? Are you paying for it? Then stop with your high horse attitude. And its not like they are not trying to fix it. Especially after @elonmusk 's tweet signal is overloaded.

Having issues with sign in, My usual Verification PIN isn't going through which is very odd considering I have been using the same PIN to verify monthly. What could be the issue (No option for Fingerprint login which was working a couple of minutes ago) @signalapp

.@signalapp - I was prompted to update my MAC desktop version. It took me to the full install (re-install) and now won't start - "Optimizing Application" (hanging there). I've tried re-boot and re-install. Still same. Any help?

@signalapp Not sure if something is wrong in 5.21.6, sent a few images today that didn't completely render on my outgoing side (few lines of pixels, rest is gray), but look fine to the recipient and if I tap the image. Some hours later, issue is resolved on its own. Pixel 5

@bellja747 @signalapp I've swapped phones Multiple times while I've had this issue. I've also tested it with other apps that replace your default SMS AKA WhatsApp and used Google's default messaging app. And only signal does it.

@AzoraMoon @signalapp This. I could use it for client texting, etc if that wasn't a requirement. They don't know me, and I don't know them, so no one wants to give out their real number. Please fix this, @signalapp!!!
