Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • anoopmitra Anoop Mitra (@anoopmitra) reported

    @signalapp is the issue with access & sending messages still open? Few of my friends seem to be receiving messages but their response is not coming thru?

  • cryptograthor Thor wants you (to resist technocracy) (@cryptograthor) reported

    @CringeDisciple @signalapp just that virtue signaling takes no server down time

  • RealKyleSanders Kyle Sanders (@RealKyleSanders) reported

    @signalapp Signal calls are not working

  • misterhtmlcss Roger (@misterhtmlcss) reported

    @realJessePeden @signalapp My belief is that not everyone had the banner taken down. Odds are good they scaled as fast as they could in the markets they were already strong in, but there are probably whole AWS facilities they need to turn up a presence in that they didn't have anything.

  • DrowningSparky Insert_Name_Here (@DrowningSparky) reported

    @fideChinedu @signalapp It's a free non profit service. If you want better results, give them money.

  • TSiltala Tero Siltala (@TSiltala) reported

    @signalapp I don’t have any problems 🙏 Signal is working great 👍🏻

  • AwareMap AwareMap (@AwareMap) reported

    @signalapp @JaneLytv DOWN DUE TO FORCE TO IMPLEMENT BACK-DOOR FOR @NSAGov

  • ServerAutomatic Automatic Server (@ServerAutomatic) reported

    @signalapp Possible to help somehow for free?

  • KevDJJones Kevin Devine-Jones (@KevDJJones) reported

    @signalapp If signal were a lot worse, it'd still be better than a lot of the alternatives. This sudden growth is a really good thing, and I don't mind waiting. My service is mostly back to normal, too. Keep up the good work!

  • tweetsbi sbi (@tweetsbi) reported

    @AJYWan @signalapp When my favorite messenger app has some scaling issues because they go from 10m to 50m in a single day, then that's not a debacle, it's teething troubles.

  • talhayaseenshah Talhah (@talhayaseenshah) reported

    @kavinbm @telegram @signalapp Despite all the efforts been made by indian Companies they always endup shutting down. The fact that indians always prefer western life style and Indians always go for western companies. But the fact is they have Indian IT Employees and tech Legends and they pay them well.

  • linuxnet_ch petbau (@linuxnet_ch) reported

    The problem with @signalapp : I can‘t access my photos for sending 🙁

  • nicolasgrcia Nicolas Garcia (@nicolasgrcia) reported

    @signalapp On iOS in France, the service is back to normal since at least 12h, thanks! 2 years that I am with your company. I no longer have #WhatsApp, #Facebook and #Messenger.

  • RealSeanLederer Sean Lederer (@RealSeanLederer) reported

    @signalapp What is the issue?

  • d34d8ull D34d8ull (@d34d8ull) reported

    @AsifAzamLine @signalapp and you sure donate to help them, to get more staff and hardware ... allways easy to complain, then go back to facebook and the green kraken

  • 21stCenturyMen_ 21stCenturyMen (@21stCenturyMen_) reported

    @signalapp Why is it taking so long? It shouldn't take multiple days to add more servers unless its a code issue maybe?

  • HowardKnob Benjamin Howard, pseudonym (@HowardKnob) reported

    Hey @signalapp how do I turn off the big red warning message that your guys are having a problem and working on it? Android app

  • showkatboss showkatboss (@showkatboss) reported

    @signalapp Signal app is not showing online make it online service then we see who’s online and last seen

  • AaronToponce Aaron Toponce 🐧💻 (@AaronToponce) reported

    This is probably a given, but while @signalapp is working to fully restore reliable service for all users, maybe refrain from sending media such a photos and videos to your contacts for the time being. If everyone did this, imagine all the freed up bandwidth for text.

  • Wijkkie Jack (@Wijkkie) reported

    @ashtonpittman @signalapp You are so stupid ( Biden voter ) This has nothing to with that !! Whatsapp is the problem ! They share youre data now with Fakebook !!!

  • MrSantiDiaz Santiago Diaz (@MrSantiDiaz) reported

    @signalapp Keep on fighting the good fight. I’ll put up with service disruptions and glitches if it means not using anything Facebook related.

  • Jakeh9395 Jake H (@Jakeh9395) reported

    @signalapp I've had absolutely no issues today in my neck of the woods. I will hold off convincing more of my friends to switch over tho 🔐🔐🔐

  • Yaakovkovi Yaakov (@Yaakovkovi) reported

    @signalapp I'll wait. Hope you can fix as soon as possible.

  • krisbe11 krishna Srinivasan (@krisbe11) reported

    @signalapp Thanks for the update but make sure next time onwards you have to fix it quick!!!! Because lot of users will be migrating to signal!!!! My 2 cents.

  • costa041 João Costa (@costa041) reported

    @signalapp Can't associate my device with the computer. It keeps giving netork error.

  • sollieman Sollieman (@sollieman) reported

    @signalapp any update on the outage please?

  • Ketut89833192 Ketut (@Ketut89833192) reported

    @signalapp i have been unable to register. "Unable to connect to server' Ongoing issue

  • MattDementous Matt Cohen (@MattDementous) reported

    @Lazer @signalapp same issue on my end, but it seems as if the messages are going through. Perhaps not checking for received message receipts gives them more server bandwidth for the new users as a temporary measure? Not sure.

  • supazeez jàńdùkú (@supazeez) reported

    getting delayed messages on signal... yet to fix their server worries? @signalapp lol thats what u encounter with anything 'free' (without data peddled to advertisers)

  • XMjwal Jace (@XMjwal) reported

    @AaronToponce @signalapp Interestingly, I think this is the very first service interruption I've ever had with Signal.
