  • anshu_sengupta Anshuman Sengupta (@anshu_sengupta) reported

    @signalapp are you still down?

  • razakdangi07 razakdangi (@razakdangi07) reported

    @elonmusk @signalapp with current cloud providers billing policy of pay as you go makes it difficult to sustain any open source non profit products handling big data. We need non profit cloud service providers for non profit products like signal. can Elon start one?

  • edugarciaGT Eduardo (@edugarciaGT) reported

    @signalapp Could you please change to yellow the red notice on top of the app? Makes me feel it is not working at all. Thanks!

  • JonathanDoeity Jonathan Doeity (@JonathanDoeity) reported

    @signalapp Can you please issue another update, it seems to have been a great many hours since your last optimistic remark but sadly it remains offline?

  • schmeat Sumeet (@schmeat) reported

    @Akash4145Indian @partyfearstwo @signalapp Is asking about the situation unreasonable? I literally just asked for transparency. You guys are pretending I demanded they fix it now. BTW this non-profit had $100m USD in seed funding, not exactly the dire situation you're framing it to be.

  • Rajid Not in the precipitate (@Rajid) reported

    @NovakDaniel @Viss @signalapp As HAL should have said, “This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to program designer error.”

  • cowgirl64195463 VAULT-147656 (@cowgirl64195463) reported

    @signalapp fix the hell out my lovely MOM is worried you have a technical problem and she can't REACH over SUCKERBERG apps, we removed this spy ****

  • izzydamus Izzy (@izzydamus) reported

    If you're getting "bad encrypted messages" from people you chat with in Signal, hit the 3 dots to bring up settings within that particular one on one chat and select "Reset secure connection." That should at least resolve that issue so you can see their following msgs @signalapp

  • i0ape 🙈🙉🙊 (@i0ape) reported

    @vasanthdevelop @signalapp is there any negatives to having a open backend? i dont get that much off it they have a issue with apple stuff where channels and chats are blocked

  • AMJ35484333 AMJ (@AMJ35484333) reported

    @signalapp Still having problems in the Netherlands

  • mmoosslleem شكري السمنودي (@mmoosslleem) reported

    @signalapp It's not working for me. And having no status update does mean the team does not care about basic communication to 50 million users. It's good to have a simple update "we are still trying to resolve the issue"

  • adasss1984 Adam (@adasss1984) reported

    @signalapp Is there anyone that could help me with import sms to signal from my phone? I have no signal backup. I already set signal as my default program for sms and none of sms was copied any tips?

  • mmoosslleem شكري السمنودي (@mmoosslleem) reported

    @signalapp I have a problem which is not receiving any messages, either the sent messages arrive, but slowly, knowing that my phone is iOS

  • supercurio François Simond 🌱 (@supercurio) reported

    I'm still trying to make the case to the group to stay on @signalapp but it's tough as everyone got very confused with a spam of error messages, each triggering a notification. I wish an expedited server or app update would have handled the outage more gracefully.

  • JohnShenLee JohnShen Lee (@JohnShenLee) reported

    Time to opt out @signalapp after 1 Day of system down.

  • ryanprior DNA schedule (@ryanprior) reported

    Hey @signalapp I'm getting thousands of messages from a contact saying "Error handling incoming message" on my desktop, or "Bad encrypted message" on my phone. I assume something got misconfigured during all the excitement of the past few days. Is there a solution?

  • LamoureuxEterna 𝙼𝚊𝚗ºⁿ𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 🕊 𝙻𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚗⚕︎𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 (@LamoureuxEterna) reported

    @IrinaAntony With all the creepy removed... They are having service issues today, probably the flood of new users @signalapp Are you expecting more than messaging?

  • AMJ35484333 AMJ (@AMJ35484333) reported

    @InnerVoice2020 @lileinsteins69 @signalapp Still down in the Netherlands

  • acengizgok Cengoooo (@acengizgok) reported

  • InserezIci InserezIci (@InserezIci) reported

    @signalapp To everyone being spammed with "bad encrypted message" following the outage, you can hit "reset the secure session" in the conversation top-right menu

  • chigger62 Mike (@chigger62) reported

    @martin_gerlach @Mika0287 @signalapp I know I'm late to this convo, but I just sent a test to my wife's iphone from my android, went thru and got a reply back, but my app still showing big red box at top saying experiencing tech problems.

  • RiderExMachina David Seward (@RiderExMachina) reported

    @Bpjs24969751 @signalapp You joined during the same surge that is causing the issue. It was working flawlessly up until 40 million people migrated to it overnight.
