  • tahnikm Tahnik Mustasin (@tahnikm) reported

    As much as I love @signalapp, they really need to fix their desktop app. A lot of time it just doesn’t load itself or doesn’t load the messages correctly. Hoping they sort it out soon.

  • r00p35h r00p35h (@r00p35h) reported

    1000+ Group member, @signalapp I think large the group is leads misuse of app like fb and other other service. None talks to not more than 50 or 100 members in year through messages whom share their personal or work phone number with.

    @signalapp Please help my account has been hacked and I can't receive a verification code anymore!! 😕

  • bradsilverberg Brad Silverberg (@bradsilverberg) reported

    @signalapp -- the desktop app doesn't work on the new M1 iMac (current MacOS version, current Signal desktop app version). On startup: Database startup error: Error: Error: Integrity check failed: *** in database main *** It works on my M1 MacBook Air but not the new iMac.

  • Elmernite Kenneth LeBlanc (@Elmernite) reported

    @signalapp You have completely ruined Signal with this new color update. It is a terrible UI and I hope to find a different communication app. It makes threads with multiple people completely unusable. It also makes my personal threads far less readable.

    @BBCNews #DeleteWhatsapp #DeleteFacebook Use @signalapp problem solved.

  • seekdivinetruth Social & political dissident Activist Ⓥ🌎🐘✊🏼☮️👀 (@seekdivinetruth) reported

    @signalapp I LOVE your app but after another one of Apple‘s damn updates it deleted the app even though it was backed up & now all my threads are gone. Reached out for help but haven’t heard back yet. I have messages from people that have crossed over. Please help me recover them 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

    @Onass02 @signalapp I was hacked too, these support services are just time wasting, send a DM to #dallas_tech on instagram, they’ll help you fix your account in less than an hour

  • bunnnysingh 𝐁𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 (@bunnnysingh) reported

    @signalapp Few issues 1. It's too slow 2. Notification works poorly 3. You cannot select a photo from the group's of photos 4. Calling doesn't work properly Kindly look into it.

  • SethEdward Seth Edward (@SethEdward) reported

    @signalapp Any plans to fix the user interface changes debacle? Maybe a user selection option to not make every conversation color a grey mess? Thanks!

  • Midori_Magma Midori Magma (@Midori_Magma) reported

    Dear @signalapp The colour changes you made to group chats are terrible. Please give us the option of putting the old colours back.

  • Aaronicalhg Aaronical 🇱🇷❤️ (@Aaronicalhg) reported

    @Onass02 @signalapp I had a similar hacked problem with my account until Thomas-hackers on Instagram helped me recovered my account

  • realemilyolivia Emily Olivia (@realemilyolivia) reported

    @signalapp is there a way to reverse this color change? Like why after years of having the received bubbles colored would you just switch? Plus now group chat members are harder to distinguish from one another. This seems intentionally confusing. Help?

  • annehunte Anne Hunte (@annehunte) reported

    @signalapp seems like you are down

  • Silbers_ Silbers (@Silbers_) reported

    @signalapp The privacy is nice and all that but the server problems and the delay of sending messages is AWFUL. If this continues I will have to switch to a different Messenger. I can't have my messages arrive 30 minutes later!

  • DjPepsi B to the L, the A, the C-King (@DjPepsi) reported

    @signalapp hey 👋🏾 I have been having a serious issue with video calls on the app. I am unable to hear anything from the speakers on my iPhone. Please msg back

  • spookeymo1 kiddo sinner (@spookeymo1) reported

    @signalapp I noticed even when the "seen" option is turned off, if I'm watching the chat I can see when someone has read the messages. the chat shifts slightly when it happens. you might wanna fix it because it defeats the whole purpose of having it off

  • alder_noun _ (@alder_noun) reported

    Hey @signalapp, I have a doubt, (Case 1) If a person cleared data or uninstalled the signal app. On re-login, Could the messages still be retrieved, if the password is forgotten?

  • Getthegalaxy Me (@Getthegalaxy) reported

    @signalapp Is anyone knowing a lot about apps here? Could this work? To fix the problems with Android @Signalapp notifications they could create a mechanism to keep the app awake sending a code to a server every 10mins. It will fix battery optimisations apps. Am I right?
