@signalapp Is there anyone that could help me with import sms to signal from my phone? I have no signal backup. I already set signal as my default program for sms and none of sms was copied any tips?

@signalapp It's not working for me. And having no status update does mean the team does not care about basic communication to 50 million users. It's good to have a simple update "we are still trying to resolve the issue"

@Bpjs24969751 @signalapp You joined during the same surge that is causing the issue. It was working flawlessly up until 40 million people migrated to it overnight.

@NoquiPug @signalapp There are probably still isolated problems. I think they will announce it when the bug is completely fixed.

I'm still trying to make the case to the group to stay on @signalapp but it's tough as everyone got very confused with a spam of error messages, each triggering a notification. I wish an expedited server or app update would have handled the outage more gracefully.

@signalapp Could you please change to yellow the red notice on top of the app? Makes me feel it is not working at all. Thanks!

@NovakDaniel @Viss @signalapp As HAL should have said, “This sort of thing has cropped up before, and it has always been due to program designer error.”

@Akash4145Indian @partyfearstwo @signalapp Is asking about the situation unreasonable? I literally just asked for transparency. You guys are pretending I demanded they fix it now. BTW this non-profit had $100m USD in seed funding, not exactly the dire situation you're framing it to be.

@PurpleRiver_Dev @signalapp Did you try to restart the encryption before? I suspect it's still related to the server outage yesterday.

@simmonsk @signalapp It disappears automatically as soon as the error is completely fixed.

@InnerVoice2020 @lileinsteins69 @signalapp 1. Its working for me here in Europe. 2. Signal is a free and open source app, developed by a non-profit organisation because they care about (your) privacy. So be nice to them. This is not a company selling you a service (or selling your data for profit).

@signalapp To everyone being spammed with "bad encrypted message" following the outage, you can hit "reset the secure session" in the conversation top-right menu

@martin_gerlach @Mika0287 @signalapp I know I'm late to this convo, but I just sent a test to my wife's iphone from my android, went thru and got a reply back, but my app still showing big red box at top saying experiencing tech problems.

If you're getting "bad encrypted messages" from people you chat with in Signal, hit the 3 dots to bring up settings within that particular one on one chat and select "Reset secure connection." That should at least resolve that issue so you can see their following msgs @signalapp
