@AhmadElBardan1 @signalapp We've heard a few reports of this issue, but we're not sure what's going on quite yet. Would you mind if I ask you a few questions to help us diagnose the problem? We'd greatly appreciate your help.

@naomibrockwell @signalapp ProtonVPN is a no logs VPN service. We do not track or record your internet activity, and therefore, we are unable to disclose this information to third parties. Does proton vpn log my IP address ? So if u use Gmail they could get my ip? Help

@propublica I hope the @signalapp team stays up at night pondering what they would do if their app replaces WhatsApp as the choice for organizers of genocide. Given FB's surveillance business model, though, it seems they have an obligation to prevent genocide? A wicked problem by definition.

@signalapp Does this app still work for anyone? I have the immediate crash on restart issue that people have addressed repeatedly online with no resolution from Signal. Is this thing even operable for anyone anymore?

Hey @signalapp, I'm currently in Egypt and trying to setup Signal on a new iPhone 12 iOS 14.7.1 and keep getting "Invalid response from service" when entering my number. Troubleshooting etc. didn't help, neither did a VPN. Any suggestions?

I'm wondering if my issue with @signalapp notifications is only a problem on iOS 15 betas. If someone messages me on Signal while I have their conversation window open, I don't hear an audio indicator of the new message.

— Is anyone else experiencing problems with #Signal after updating to the latest version of @SignalApp on an iPhone? Sending messages no longer works, and my contacts are disappearing after messages fail to send. I restarted, deleted, and re-installed, but nothing seems to #help.

@signalapp am i the only one having issues with sending messages? For a few days now messages very often don't get sent right away. Sometimes takes a few minutes for the message to go out (internet connection is fine). Signal Beta v5.23.1 on Android #Signal

@signalapp @ghc Today is the second day and @signalapp is not working despite the many times we sent emails and messages to Signal Support without getting any reply from them! Is that the way you treat customers who supported you and donated to your business!

@dosch @moxie @signalapp Its not really the E2E encryption itself, the problem is that with WhatApp the endpoints cannot be trusted. This problem doesn't occur in #opensource, peer-reviewed apps.

— @SignalApp: After updating to version 5.19.0, Signal has lost all functionality on my iPhone SE. As a long time privacy-advocate who recently convinced two friends to start using Signal, I feel terribly embarrassed that I am now sending them SMS texts. Please #help!

Too many issues … @signalapp is mainstream now, most know text messages aren’t private. It’s the “i phone” not what it is now. Everyone needs anti depression meds because we are depressed from a sick society which makes your experience of life suck, that’s why you’re depressed

@KisayeNatsuki @signalapp I was told my someone on the Signal team that this problem will be fixed in the next update, which should be coming out very soon. Take care!
