Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Dario Landazuri (@kuoirad) reported@signalapp Another would be the issue Naomi Wu has raised - publish warnings on your webpages and via a blog entry that using 3rd party IMEs can potentially compromise the privacy Signal provides. Issuing a warning when setting up Signal for the first time would be even better. 2/3

JEN (@jenvgeorge) reported@signalapp Still messages are not delivering and some are missed. Even when i have stable net connection, messages are being delivered after 1 to 2 hours. Waiting to get issues like this fixed. Would like to continue using this instead of others. And no one can see my profile picture in sig

Ben Hocking (@bmwhocking) reported from Auckland, Auckland@jenvgeorge @signalapp Go into the google play store / apple App Store and make sure your using the latest version of Signal. Then restart your phone and re-open signal. Should solve all problems & force your phone to automatically re-register for notifications.

Baluta Cristian (@cristi_tulcea) reported@signalapp @larsiusprime Who pays for the Signal service to be alive?
-
mik (@mik235) reportedWhy does @signalapp have an Electron client but not a PWA? You folks need some help coding it?
-
Tab Incognito (@Just1OneHuman) reported@signalapp experiencing message loss in group chats, where users are not receiving some messages from other users but can chat privately just fine. Is there a fix for resetting a group chats connection yet?
-
Arnold 💙 (@ArnoldasGurskis) reported@signalapp I also noticed that when on video call - it uses about 300kb/s of data. But the same call on messenger uses only 90kb/s max. Is it a compression issue? Not that it matters on WiFi, but it does on data.

Volken (@v0lk3n) reported@Maroof__KHAN @HantsRavens @signalapp I never said they dont need to improve much in terms of speed. Personally i doesnt have speed problem on it, maybe a micro second, but i have a good internet connection. And i use this app for now 5 years, its the first time i see a little problem like that, they try the best.
-
Volken (@v0lk3n) reported@Maroof__KHAN @HantsRavens @signalapp The thing i said you are wrong, it when you said whats app dont get monney and never get problem. Just do some search in the past, you will see a lot of time whars app was down for hours, and get problem like that too. Now i stop.

Communist LitterTwetter (@upsetpatriot1) reported@signalapp I have downloaded. Can you fix the group video call issue where the other side don’t hear the ring? No response from you guys. This is the best time for you to get everyone moved to your app!

Mani Raj Sripadha (@ManiRajSripadha) reported@moxie @olischolz @signalapp Same issue on my iPhone as well never rings only vibrate on recieving calls
-
Volken (@v0lk3n) reported@Maroof__KHAN @HantsRavens @signalapp Them to buy new hardware to get more perf for there users when you know that the only way for them to get monney is donation? Don't ask something like "it should take 1 day" when you can use there service with a privacy life and for free, thats what im looking for :) all the best
-
John (@yourlastcritic) reported@signalapp Thank you for all the hard work and really glad to finally get my social circle on board. I’m having an issue with the desktop client on Linux where messages I send there are received in the group but they don’t appear on my phone. I’m on version 1.39.5. Any ideas?
-
Matt Schnierle (@MattSchnierle) reported@signalapp Love you guys to tears. Give money. The whole thing. You don’t have the moral authority for this dunk two days removed from that outage. Back the social media maven off.

Maroof KHAN 🇮🇳 (@Maroof__KHAN) reported@HantsRavens @signalapp Already did, that was tweeted 3d ago...!!! It should be fix in 1d not in 1y. (working slowly)
-
Rana Kumbha (@RanaKumbha) reported@ShaunakSA @signalapp It is sir. I stated using it in May 2020. Problem is that it's inconsistent.
-
TRooney (@tcr00x) reported@engr_zeeshi88 @signalapp I don’t need to update. It is what it is. But you really need to update yourself with the correct definition. I will help you here >>> “the state or condition of being free from being observed or disturbed by other people”

Mauricio Mercado (@thedzko) reported@liagason @telegram @signalapp Wasn't it down?
-
Maroof KHAN 🇮🇳 (@Maroof__KHAN) reported@v0lk3n @HantsRavens @signalapp Apps get some problems sometimes but not for longer period..!!! By the way My all apps are working on the same network but Signal sucks....!! I've also a better internet connection bro.!
-
jonas (@jonasatnewton) reported@pankykumar2010 @jeffgerard @signalapp (2) Your comparison to a social network is just inadequate. Whether it's WA or Signal you always have a contact list with all contacts using this service. The notification does not change anything.
-
Bibek Manandhar (@mdhrbibek) reported@signalapp @signalapp Camera is not working in Signal app on Huawei Nova 3. Please fix it
-
Dario Landazuri (@kuoirad) reported@signalapp One overdue improvement to Signal's privacy would be to stop announcing "so and so has joined Signal!" just because you have so and so in your phone contacts. There are numerous classes of users for whom that is a *very* dangerous issue. 1/2

mik (@mik235) reported@durumcrustulum @fugueish @signalapp I don't know how much of a part software signatures play - I once tried to champion signed manifests (back when Chrome Remote Desktop was switching to a PWA). There are non-trivial issues there with expiry, revocation etc, that might make it worse than TLS.
