  @signalapp Freedom's voice is silenced when internet dies. Help keep it alive. #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  David Mann (@DavidMann666) reported 1 minute ago

  @signalapp My suspicions would have immediately been alerted by two distinct grammar errors in there, of a type that generally only occur when the originator speaks a language with a different syntax. Easy for me to spot, not so easy for someone with less than top notch English language skills. I expect that AI will defeat me at some point. It's a minefield out there folks...

  @signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

  RUL (@RUL_FE) reported 7 minutes ago

  @signalapp Please fix the group bug. After I remove some accounts that have already been deactivated from the group, the group member count does not change and does not reflect the actual number of members.

  @signalapp Military-grade encryption. Zero infrastructure compromises. And then: “Hi, this is Signal Support Bot, please confirm your verification code.” The math was never the problem.

  Scare Crow (@Crowbar1910171) reported 8 minutes ago

  @signalapp is not working for them all

  Dear Men. (@Dea_rMen) reported 11 minutes ago

  @signalapp Rule of the internet: If someone asks for your verification code, they’re trying to steal your account. No legit service will ever ask for it. Stay sharp.

  The issue here, isn't marketshare, like in the case of WhatsApp vs @signalapp

  @signalapp In Tehran right now, silence is deadly. Without internet, cries for help are muted. Please, use your influence to help break the silence. Iranians will remember who stood with them #DigitalBlackOutIran #IranRevolution2026

  @signalapp please fix the attachment limitation on desktop clients. I don't like having to use WhatsApp just to send multiple files to a contact.

  who is john galt? (@psu_chris) reported 26 minutes ago

  anyone else have the issue when i get a @xai post from a @signalapp chat.. it NEVER opens the link INSIDE X but loads it up in a web browser on the iphone? frustrating!!! links for youtube work.. so why not X?

  Nothingness (@TheEyelessOwl) reported 28 minutes ago

  @signalapp is the app down or something, things were fine for days now me messages take forever to go through, but even when they become two circles with a checkmark they never fill anymore and I get no responses???

  Anne Marte Odland (@AnneMaOdland) reported 28 minutes ago

  @meatman310 @signalapp @PatrickAlphaC This is so annoying tbh. I experienced same issue a while back but I was able to recover a large part of it. Have you been able to fix that?

• 
  ⓣⓔⓝ 🅞🅗 ⓣⓞⓞ (@tenohtoo) reported 35 minutes ago

  @Dinosn Other apps have a similar problem. Signal leaks chats through task switcher even when locked. I reported it ages ago; no response from @signalapp

• 
  croix (@taintcroix) reported 35 minutes ago

  @signalapp appears to be down!

• 
  常隆威 (@ChangW30200) reported 36 minutes ago

  @signalapp I believe that to solve this problem, we must learn from the software Session/SimpleX and remove the real-name registration requirement for phone numbers. This would render any hacking efforts futile.

  Bryan again.. (@BryanAgain) reported 37 minutes ago

  @signalapp tl;dr: user error, stop being retarded.

• 
  David J. Nemeth 🇺🇸 (@davidjnemeth) reported 37 minutes ago

  @signalapp no one else having issues sending from the windows app? all my recent inbound messages come through, but sending just has a constant circle

• 
  fabian (@fabianleitner) reported 40 minutes ago

  @signalapp I would argue that that's more of a people-being-naive issue than anything Signal as a company could control

• 
  Carmine Sabia (@CarmineSabia) reported 43 minutes ago

  Apparently @signalapp is down.

• 
  LianZaKim @Kim (@liankimpi) reported 46 minutes ago

  @signalapp Please a proxy to be able to login

• 
  Tom Jones’ cousin (@pierre_rud53846) reported 46 minutes ago

  @signalapp Signal is letting Romanian scammers use my account to steal money off Irish people… I reported the issue to them over a month ago and the company refuses to look into it

• 
  CKR (@CKRSandra) reported 47 minutes ago

  @signalapp I thought I was contacting signal support and I was I text sometimes they do as for the signal pin. Now they ask for donations. Please Check my account and see how you can help me.

  Whatsapp disappearing messages has been around since so long and still they can’t fix this issue since starting. Never encountered such irritating issues with @signalapp even though they have less resources because of being a non profit organisation. @WhatsApp @Meta Are you just lazy or such issues aren’t your priority? I seriously don’t want to doubt your abilities.

  @signalapp @bluesky @joinmastodon Also, login should be possible without a phone number. Users should be able to sign in with either an email address or their handle.

• 
  Sascha Dämgen 🧐 (@sascha_daemgen) reported 51 minutes ago

  @signalapp Phone number + recovery PIN are phishable. FIDO2 hardware tokens are not. That's an architecture choice, not a "universal messaging problem." SimpleGoX ships FIDO2 in 048. No phone number to hijack in the first place. 🔐

  @signalapp You seem to be experiencing an outage

  @JustNews_tg @signalapp Technology cannot fix human error. All the encryption in the world won't save you from yourself.

  @manasiwibi @signalapp @grok why they still cant fix the issue?
