Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • Avieshek Avieshek (@Avieshek) reported

    @bitdov @signalapp Bitcoin is banned in India for starters and likely many countries as well and that's the asking problem I guess.

  • TaitaSebastian (@TaitaSebastian) reported

    At this point we should stop asking @signalapp to implement payments on #bitcoin and start implementing the messenger ourselves. The Signal fork. Can @sphinx_chat fix this?

  • anoopmitra Anoop Mitra (@anoopmitra) reported

    @signalapp there’s some sort of bug which constantly puts the faceid based access off on the iPhone automatically. Can you guys fix this?

  • JonasSchaible Jonas (@JonasSchaible) reported

    @KTrzeszczkowski @signalapp What is the problem with premining?

  • markowicz_sara Sara Markowicz (@markowicz_sara) reported

    @signalapp I love your app but I noticed that compared to other apps, I usually have sounds problems when I video call someone (i always hear my voice and others too) ! But for the rest it's peeeerfect

  • LoveKremer Neil Kremer (@LoveKremer) reported

    @signalapp Hope you guys fix the call ring issue (phone never ring or vibrate, only visually we can know if someone is calling) as well as video call issues (multiple issues with audio and call drop). Many of my contacts gone from signal because of these issues.

  • DontTraceMeBruh ᴜɴᴛʀᴀᴄᴇᴀʙʟᴇ (@DontTraceMeBruh) reported

    @mango_esco @signalapp This type of move incentivizes someone to fork Signal's open source code and create a competing service to remove the undesired features.

  • PeterKAL3 Peter KAL (@PeterKAL3) reported

    @signalapp I wait for the next product/service of Signal Foundation!

  • AnanasPizza2 Ananas Pizza (@AnanasPizza2) reported

    @norton_im @signalapp Then don't bring up a blog post as a reference, wtf. There is media coverage on this issue and not responding to it damages the image, which I personally don't like.

  • TSchweren Torben Schweren (@TSchweren) reported

    @signalapp No, please don't.. Focus on more important things, like addressing the open source server code problem or implementing more important features. Why was this a priority?

  • Erko_okrE Erko (@Erko_okrE) reported

    @signalapp I still have a problem with calls and videos I never manage to reach a person the first time, I'm not the only one with this problem

  • UncleWestling Rich Uncle Westling (@UncleWestling) reported

    @signalapp hi, I can't create a new group. The button is greyed out. No error messages, just impossible to create a group

  • btcdragonlord k4r0z4g0rus™ ₿ ⚡️ 🌮 🔦 (@btcdragonlord) reported

    @signalapp You guys did a terrible mistake and this going to cost you a big chunk of your user's trust and your reputation for implementing a scam coin.

  • wheatpond Eric/ (@wheatpond) reported

    @thechaz @mobilecoin @signalapp The problem is that nothing out there is both fast and private. I suggested to them 3 years ago to use something existing if at all possible; it wasn’t

  • TimeSpaceBeing Sourabh S Nath (@TimeSpaceBeing) reported

    @backwards_not @btconometrics @signalapp Phone numbers shouldn't be used as login information. Signal had promised to add in a feature that would let you use it without a phone number, they haven't done that.

  • KaffeMedFika Kaffe (@KaffeMedFika) reported

    @signalapp Yikes... Why do you need a shitcoin? Do Signal have a money problem?

  • marshalleq MarshalleQ (@marshalleq) reported from Auckland, Auckland

    @signalapp Change log? I’d like to know if excessive bandwidth issues are fixed before I use it again. Can’t afford to use up all the data plan on one video call!

  • bittosky bittosky (@bittosky) reported

    @signalapp April Fools is long past - get yourself checked and do not brake down your reputation. It took me ages to transfer my fam/friends over and you are literally shooting yourself into foot with these decisions! Cmon Signal be better - use Bitcoin LN or drop the feature altogether.

  • TimeSpaceBeing Sourabh S Nath (@TimeSpaceBeing) reported

    @signalapp What happened to the ability to login without a phone number?

  • bitdov ₿it⚡️Dov (@bitdov) reported

    @YourInnerRipple @signalapp Problem is that you need to run your own XMR node for it to actually be private. Trusting a light client is not good for privacy. Not sure how this could be fixed. Lightning is quite private, as much as it could be using a light client

  • phaus philipp (@phaus) reported

    @signalapp Can you please go back to your core values: being a reliable and open-sorce messenging service? Why are the latest updats of the Server Source Code not open anymore? No one needs another WhatsApp or iMessage.

  • mn0sec mn0sec (@mn0sec) reported

    @signalapp adding payments was a horrible idea. Especially when looking at the complexity and the large amount of annoying bugs and usability issues Signal has, so far.

  • Roccooniciv Rocco (@Roccooniciv) reported

    @btcdragonlord @signalapp do you want to help me? read my profile. if you want then give me a hand

  • crickshotirl 🪄Andres (@crickshotirl) reported

    @yxdede @signalapp @signalapp help this guy

  • solyuh Eclaireur (@solyuh) reported

    @signalapp You'd be a stupid businessmen if you ran a service and didn't stay updated on what your rivals are doing and selling. That's just you trying to go bankrupt

  • qualtrop woob 🏳️‍🌈 Black lives matter!!!!!!! (@qualtrop) reported

    @signalapp cool that everyone's problem here isn't with signal getting into cryptocurrency, but that they're just using the wrong one. **** all of this

  • JonesJeff411 Jones ⚡️ (@JonesJeff411) reported

    @signalapp @mobilecoin This is a mistake. If you must go down this road, go mainstream - go Cardano.

  • jatin161991 Jatin Singh (@jatin161991) reported

    Dear @signalapp it's super annoying when you send me notifications everytime someone in my contacts joins #signal let's fix this?

  • NickFisherAU Nick Fisher (@NickFisherAU) reported

    @candeira @smdiehl @signalapp Yeah this feels really skeezy. It's not like the foundation is struggling financially, I can only assume the reasoning was "ooh crypto, shiny". Feature-wise, I'm also peeved because so many issues with the app should have been fixed before even thinking about payments.

  • astrojoe001 astrojoe (@astrojoe001) reported

    I have no doubt that if the @signalapp reached out to the #Monero developer community to help build integration into Signal they would had helped, no question about it. It's disappointing to see the path they chose.
