    @signalapp Looks like you can't fix it 😕

  • The_Chinki The Chinki Guy (@The_Chinki) reported

    @signalapp Fix it quick please

  • TheTechSpace The World of Tech (@TheTechSpace) reported

    @KushiKanzaki @leyaumegui @signalapp Can you tell me any specific error you see? Or a screenshot where you face the issue?

  • SahilMahajan_ Sahil Mahajan (@SahilMahajan_) reported

    @signalapp Outage is still on.

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @emilioelmurr97 @signalapp The information disappears automatically as soon as all problems are solved.

  • Xobyr زبير (@Xobyr) reported

    @signalapp Still no update? Almost a day with this outage, you will lose lot of new customers if it continues with this pace

  • jayjayHales Jonathan Hales 🚀🕊🥳 (@jayjayHales) reported

    What does @signalapp's tech stack look like? Surprised at the length of this outage.

  • nallakonar Nalla Konar (@nallakonar) reported

    @DanishSait , when will you release video on Conversation around @WhatsApp privacy policy and @signalapp outage? That's the latest after Tesla's Bengaluru R&D Centre.

  • SportzPickz C J San Andreas (@SportzPickz) reported

    People switching to @signalapp in droves to avoid these new @WhatsApp privacy changes. Edward Snowden uses signal so that's a ringing endorsement. If Julian Assange is unveiled as a signal user, whatsapp may have a problem on it's hands!

  • Golu_Tewari Ashish Tewari (@Golu_Tewari) reported

    @signalapp hi .... anxiously waiting for the technical problems to be removed .... Any estimate of time ??? Thanks !!!

  • meetowl Michael (@meetowl) reported

    Sending good luck to @signalapp 🤞, there is no way they could have estimated this much of a usage spike, but I'm afraid the recent outage is going to drive people away.

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @gojimmypi @DecaireRobert @signalapp The problem is the flag it sets can be ignored- it's just a suggestion.

  • theveritas4 Truth and Justice (@theveritas4) reported

    @aayushp10 @signalapp It's working work some and not for others. Unless it's working for everyone, it is still down or degraded at best.

  • MargoMusk Rita Queen Musk ❤️🏡USA 🚀Mars is ours. (@MargoMusk) reported

    @signalapp @TeslaHype The problem is always in the servers. A large influx of users.

  • ahmetsekmen1453 احمد (@ahmetsekmen1453) reported

    @signalapp @moxie There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. This is because gifs contain content that is against decentralization. It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

  • magray_monis Magray MONIS (@magray_monis) reported

    Not working properly @signalapp 😭

  • azmadu Az Madujibeya (@azmadu) reported

    @oddynz @signalapp Indeed, and we can chit chat all we like but it's Them that have the problem to resolve. I'd argue that this was not something that couldn't have been predicted, but I'm tired of recommending people implement some Chaos Engineering practices into their architecture. QED?? 🤷

  • meetowl Michael (@meetowl) reported

    @Girrali @signalapp Why do you think everyone has poured so much time, effort and money into the encryption algorithm of this service? Signal could be hosted in Xi Jinping's bedroom and its unlikely that he could do anything with any of the data.

  • Malek26526400 Malek (@Malek26526400) reported

    @signalapp I have an error and I think it's not me only the problem is that when I send a message it says that it is sent but it did not deliver to the contact I hope you understand me

  • filos Luca Filigheddu 🇮🇹 💻🥋🍻 (@filos) reported

    @andrea_moro @signalapp So far so good. Some issues yesterday, due to 3500 new users...per minute!

  • NickHollisUK Nick Hollis💙 (@NickHollisUK) reported

    @Tejas_Auro @signalapp Slow down, migrate people up to and beyond 8th

  • angel_e0317 angel eruka (@angel_e0317) reported

    @signalapp can't register my number oooo, I've sent a mail and I've not gotten a reply, I want to assume it's a system downtime and the current situation with the influx of people to your app, but please help

  • nileshbansal nileshbansal (@nileshbansal) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp it's now been 12h with no status update. While I understand the issue of sudden surge, you should provide hourly updates. Otherwise it seems you have given up and stopped the restoration process? Will Signal come back up anytime soon (today, this week)?

  • HemantaTeam Hemanta (@HemantaTeam) reported

    @signalapp Why signal is not working in nepal? I uninstalled whatapps

  • azmadu Az Madujibeya (@azmadu) reported

    @oddynz @signalapp Which won't help Signal get their services back online! 🤷

  • kilijanek Kili (@kilijanek) reported

    @khimaros @elonmusk @signalapp Java is not the problem here. Problem is with how many users showed up in last few days. Now it seems number of users exceeded 40 mln (I remember when I started to use Signal it was at few tens of thousands). Facebook policy towards WhatsApp changed everything.

  • EnjoyKane 😏 (@EnjoyKane) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp is it true you were down to put a backdoor in due to pressure from hosting services?

  • BtcpayServer BTCPay Server (@BtcpayServer) reported

    @signalapp @My2Gwei If you need help, ping us.

  • indicru indicru (@indicru) reported

    If @signalapp not working for you, try reboot phone. That fixed it for me. But messages sent to me during outage has not been delivered.

  • AravindhStanley Aravindh Stanley (@AravindhStanley) reported

    @adomjan @signalapp Hopefully they can fix it soon. @signalapp good issue to have, eh.
