  • swedishnutlathe Craig (@swedishnutlathe) reported

    @signalapp can you help explain why Signal requires to be tied to a phone number and i can't just have a random ID autogenerated/created manually? I see no real reason for this restriction.

  • Swapnil18338020 Swapnil Das (@Swapnil18338020) reported

    @signalapp why is it so that your iOS app is so smooth and good but your android app is totally a big head ache. I am not even getting a single notification from my android OnePlus 8 pro. Only when I open the app then I get all the notification at oneshot. Kindly fix this issue

  • FarshidHakimy @farshidhakimy@mtn.ddnss.eu (@FarshidHakimy) reported

    @TechHighest Oh yeah now I am seeing it. Just restart your phone or the app and it will probably be fine again. If it doesn't help, you can report thiss Issue. I have bugs like this one on @signalapp when I am using it on a phone with a waterfall display. There some animations are weird

  • MaraAnn333 Célia Catalbas (@MaraAnn333) reported

    With a signal service setup by their signal server github, i could track every user. Which again, IF SIGNAL WOULDNT LINK TO PHONE NUMBERS, would be less of a problem, cause feds use that to dox. but @signalapp will keep their claims of knowing nothing until they cant.

  • Lovedee78556120 Deepesh (@Lovedee78556120) reported

    @signalapp your app sending messages very slowly. Please fix this issue

  • sankamoto Mordhau ThirdEye 🟩 (@sankamoto) reported

    @signalapp but you're also doing shitcoinery and also you want my phone number wear big boy pants and fix this **** if you care

  • benjamincozzy QAnon hates freethinking and killed democracy (@benjamincozzy) reported

    @spovednik @session_app @signalapp Pretty sure it was cellebrite that cracked signal the fbi just issues subpoenas. If you look into it signals servers did not stand the test of time they were blocked aka censored and they still can be. Also are the servers open source?

  • uptone John Wood (@uptone) reported

    @signalapp Had to do a factory reset on my phone. Now I'm having trouble re-linking my phone to my desktop app. My phone also can't see my contacts so I can't text anyone.

  • _ParticleDecay Joey Espinosa (@_ParticleDecay) reported

    Better idea: Have the ability for your mobile app to can a QR code on the TV and automatically link the TV app to your account (@WhatsApp, @signalapp). This way you can use the app you're already logged into and you don't have a separate (stray?) login on your browser.

  • Ca_Antoine Antoine (@Ca_Antoine) reported

    @signalapp iOs accessibility issue with VoiceOver - Hello, when sending or receiving a reply, I cannot see the quoted message... Thank you :)

  • thisisgael gaël (@thisisgael) reported

    @signalapp Hello, I removed some contacts from my iOS contact book but their number still appear in my Signal contact book. I restarted the phone, no success. Any help?

  • sudoJoeBear Joe 🏴 (@sudoJoeBear) reported

    @Viking_Sec @signalapp this is a real problem. If Snapchat can notify someone of a screenshot...

  • mrfrankzola Frank Zola (@mrfrankzola) reported

    @louisejacksonuk Do not know, might just be network issue. You could change number or transfer existing one to a new network. If using a smart-phone, you could take/make calls, with your existing number, via the @signalapp

  • VivekLFC14 vivek🥪 (@VivekLFC14) reported

    @RSaidinesh @signalapp bro your app is dusted, fix it. WhatsApp clear.

  • Muhibur93694815 Muhibur Rahman (@Muhibur93694815) reported

    @signalapp 3rd. When my phone's screen off and if that time anyone send me message then it doesn't sound, I mean notification sound. Notification sound only works while chatting with a person when he reply me. I think it's needs urgently improvement and fix this problems

  • siva_nsk Siva Kumar (@siva_nsk) reported

    @signalapp Do you have any issues with IOS version? Not able hear anything when I get a video call.

  • _C_King_123 CKing123 (@_C_King_123) reported

    @wbm312 @signalapp The bugs they could fix. But using Apple dlls is likely the main reason Cellebrite stopped. The last thing Cellebrite wants is a lawsuit from Apple.

  • hankadin Henry (@hankadin) reported

    I want to contribute more (code) to open source. Any projects I should look at with some good first issues? I contributed small accessibility fix to @signalapp ios app. I'd like to contribute to some libraries. Preferably Swift! #iosdev #opensource

  • spjika Spike is dreaming of Anti-racist churches (@spjika) reported

    Single most terrible part of @signalapp on Android; 1. you get a message 2. You start responding from the notification, write a bunch. 3. Person sends you a follow up text 4. Your message disappears and you have accidentally clicked on theirs somewhere and opened up the thread

  • MRytterlund Mikaela Rytterlund (@MRytterlund) reported

    @signalapp Did you have any problems yesterday?

  • Muhibur93694815 Muhibur Rahman (@Muhibur93694815) reported

    @signalapp I'm facing facing some problems. And I think it's need improvement.1st, it's needs improvement on audio and video call when I trying to make call then it shows me network failed in 4G network. I think it's improvement urgently fix it

  • thisisgael gaël (@thisisgael) reported

    @signalapp I reinstalled the app, one of the unnamed contact disappeared, but one remains.... Any help?

  • nullshock1 Sai Sathvik🇮🇳 (@nullshock1) reported

    Ditched WhatsApp completely due to privacy issues. Now my choice of instant messaging is @signalapp and @telegram

  • _RogerWilco_ Roger Wilco (@_RogerWilco_) reported

    @signalapp As much as I used to like&recommend Signal in the early days, first this forced PIN feature, now the payment "stuff", in an _instant messenger_. I'm glad that there is XMPP+OMEMO with Conversations, Gajim and ChatSecure. And that's a federated service not requiring your phone #

  • secyturtle cooper in a tree (@secyturtle) reported

    You don't have to worry about being outside of the "Five eyes" and if the company will bow down to government subpoenas. It can't. Because @signalapp doesn't actually know anything about me.

  • ambimorph L. Amber O'Hearn 🛡 (@ambimorph) reported

    @AskBryan 🤔 Singal told me you recently installed Signal on your phone (which it really shouldn't, @signalapp). If you didn't set it as default, it might be absconding with any texts that come in through Signal. I've encountered that issue before.

  • Daniel56637383 Daniel-WD2DW (@Daniel56637383) reported

    @signalapp help! App is crashing all of a sudden!

  • mrfrankzola Frank Zola (@mrfrankzola) reported

    @louisejacksonuk @signalapp You could ask the network provider for reasons and it's check terms and conditions for service provision Once registered with @signalapp not aware of any UK based mechanism to block it's use, but u might have to rely on WiFi if u r unable to use mobile network data provision

  • inkel Lean (inkel) (@inkel) reported

    @signalapp my iOS app broke. I reinstalled it using the same information. I’ve lost ALL OF MY CHATS AND CONTACTS. How can we fix that? Submitting the debug log never worked either.

  • louisejacksonuk LouiseJackson (@louisejacksonuk) reported

    @mrfrankzola @signalapp Thank you. I've done that many times and often the response from them is my service is fine and that my phone is working correctly. On occasion they have sent a patch to resety phone with no change
