  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @signalapp hi my app is not working. I’ve not heard back from anyone from your company. Can you please help?

  • rgentozala Reine Gentozala (@rgentozala) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I see. Hopefully there’s a fix.

  • bigdave914 Big Dave (@bigdave914) reported

    @signalapp Can I get some registration help? New phone need to reset my number I keep getting an error.

  • BryanFThornton Bryan Thornton (@BryanFThornton) reported

    @Thedrken @signalapp Your logical security controls are eventually going to break down if you fail at basic physical security.

  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp I was messaging a friends and it shut down my phone completely. When I turned back on the app will no longer open.

  • Ingulf Alex (@Ingulf) reported

    @N_Waters89 @signalapp bit of a privacy issue there

  • borland Orion Edwards (@borland) reported

    @oddynz @moxie @signalapp Sorry dude, not trying to rain on your parade, more just my own feeling down about the state of things 😔

  • itisbilly Billy Pandamonium (@itisbilly) reported

    I just made a donation to @signalapp because I think I’m doing the right thing and I’m tweeting about it because I’m conceited. It really comes down to either paying for a good product, or using a free product that turns you into the product for a paying 3rd party.

  • HippyWizard Silverwizard (@HippyWizard) reported

    @nuintari @signalapp Ah, sure, ok, if your main problem is sms then that's different Partly my problem is I am Canadian where everyone refuses to use SMS

  • charlesrandall Charles Randall (@charlesrandall) reported

    @okdistribute @signalapp I doubt that would help.

  • hannabroad1 Hannah Gaz (@hannabroad1) reported

    @signalapp hi my app is not working. It says to send a debug message, but it will not work.

  • nuintari Psychotic Network Ferret (@nuintari) reported

    I use @signalapp pretty much every day of my life. I _really_ wish Signal wasn't going further and further down the cryptocurrency insanity hole. We might need an alternative to Signal that is content to remain just messaging, and never bolt on imaginary internet money BS.

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

    @rgentozala @signalapp For the usage itself, a VPN would be usable. But during verification, the number of the sender is simply blocked in general. I'll see if I can find something that can help you.

  • billvinson Bill Vinson (@billvinson) reported

    @WhatsApp @signalapp Another complaint with @signalapp is the linking to a phone number. Any service that locks me into a single device/carrier ID is a non-starter for me...

  • wartonhertz Warton Hertz (@wartonhertz) reported

    @signalapp Guys, i am having problems with video call on Signal for Android. Voice is delaying over the video.

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

    @koala_leb @signalapp No, I do not notice any problems

  • Cyphermoney Cypher (@Cyphermoney) reported

    @CryptoTweetie @signalapp Seems more likely a bad recipient than a bad service. “One possibility is that a recipient with access to the messages handed them over to investigators. The complaint references group messages run on the app, so it’s possible a participant in those chats cooperated.”

  • moogoo68 moogoo68 (@moogoo68) reported

    @signalapp I am having issues with iCloud Private relay when using wireless carrier. No issues when using my home wifi/network. Is there an issue using iCloud private relay with Signal on an iPhone with a cell phone carrier?

  • oddynz Beau Butler (@oddynz) reported

    @dznz @moxie @signalapp 1/2 And supply chain is all about drawing the line eg: <jo> Does putty still have the same supply chain problems? <finch> like every other windows software? <finch> and every other software outside of windows too <oddy> the same 'supply chain problem' as every other exe ever?

  • hortstu Horton H.A. Whoo (@hortstu) reported

    @Jmw986 @moxie @signalapp I don't have a problem with that. My problem is not knowing when they've uninstalled or gotten a new phone... I send a secure message and they're not getting them.

  • Vargaswilliamra adoption life center (@Vargaswilliamra) reported

    @CoinDesk @signalapp @AxieInfinity Adoption Center requests funds to save 85 dogs, 141 cats so that they do not lose their home and food. Any help is welcome at our center. Binance TRC20 tanks TPH2rarn4gbNqJB9oo1vebNxH1Wd2VEqNe

  • 0xMadness 0xMadness de’ Medici u/62 (@0xMadness) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp A lot of people are having the same issues. Laggy app, can't click "back" to view other message chats once in chat without closing application, notifications lag and sometimes don't update. etc etc its been happening for over a month on multiple different phones

  • sunilsrana1908 Sunil Singh Rana (@sunilsrana1908) reported

    @kpswathi @moneycontrolcom @signalapp I use it for communicating with my closed ones as whatsapp spamming is an issue..

  • nivrameth Nivram (@nivrameth) reported

    @Twiblr @lockheimer @signalapp It's not as simple as building an app. Google already did this with Hangouts and fellback to SMS like you pointed it out. It wasn't the solution to this room to this problem.

  • koala_leb コアラ (@koala_leb) reported

    Is @signalapp down?

  • rostyslav999s Ростислав Салабай (@rostyslav999s) reported

    @NilssonHolger @basierterFlo @signalapp The problem is with people that use Signal only

  • C_J_F_T ChristopherTrimboli.eth (@C_J_F_T) reported

    @signalapp Having some issues connecting to desktop mobile app QR code. Scanner is not picking it up. S20 ultra android device. Not able to get a lock on and login. 😭

  • RastegarRamin Ramin Rastegar (@RastegarRamin) reported

    @signalapp Sending voice notes to iPhone from Android 12 plays at double the speed in iPhone devices. Please fix.

  • rgentozala Reine Gentozala (@rgentozala) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Thank you so much. Is this because Twilio’s service cannot support messages sent from a China number?

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

    @hannabroad1 @signalapp What kind of problems do you have? Maybe I can help...
