Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • AndrewLeCody Andrew LeCody (@AndrewLeCody) reported

    I'm so disappointed in @signalapp for integrating a shitcoin into their app. They never should have gone down the payments/wallet route to bring with, stick to the core use case of communication. This sucks.

  • Rezaahaghii Reza Haghi (@Rezaahaghii) reported

    @signalapp Hi I am iranian I canot recive code when install signal app can you help me?

  • TrigoBruno Bruno Trigo (@TrigoBruno) reported

    @signalapp Adding payments is a terrible move. It's time to look at other options.

  • OnTheFenceDev On The Fence Dev (@OnTheFenceDev) reported

    @signalapp I previously asked how @signalapp made money to keep the lights on while offering a free service ... guess I'm getting my answer. Looks like I'll have to find another messenger app - I'm glad I hadn't started moving my friends family over already! Shame really - but inevitable?

  • thechaz **** (@thechaz) reported

    @cycryptr @signalapp Would you call Bottlepay refusing a coinjoin UTXO a moral issue or are things more complicated?

  • DavidShares David 🟢 (@DavidShares) reported

    @be_cashy @signalapp I started being disappointed after Moxie went on Joe Rogan and his excuse for telling contacts you joined Signal was something like “don’t you want your friends to know you’re on Signal!” Totally disregarding the actual issue.

  • manfred_karrer Manfred Karrer (@manfred_karrer) reported

    @_benkaufman @cycryptr I hope @signalapp is smart enough to fix a mistake before its too late. Reputation is faster lost than earned.

  • cyrusinitaly 🏳️‍🌈 Soup & Coup (@cyrusinitaly) reported

    @CryptoMagnetdsm @mtcbtc @signalapp I can still pay with cash when the internet or power is down. Also cash does not require huge environmental destruction.

  • sakeblues sake (@sakeblues) reported

    @tdrud @moscowchill @signalapp I mean, just a few months ago the status quo was playing with the idea to shut down trading for assets, based on mentions about them on social media, and put more regulations on those platforms themselves.

  • mobilecoin MobileCoin (@mobilecoin) reported

    @harryhalpin @signalapp @moxie Hi Harry! Some thoughts: 1) the network is decentralized (no single party controls it), and the consensus protocol is open. 2) MobileCoin is not banned in the US at all. The terms of service currently restrict US persons from interacting with our software.

  • rashid30920877 rashid (@rashid30920877) reported

    @signalapp @ram_terrapay Hello sir ... I have a problem and a late money transfer ... I have sent you a message on private, please help me and solve the problem

  • richardadalton Richard Dalton (@richardadalton) reported

    @signalapp FFS. I just installed Signal after putting it off for ages and you’re going down this road too? Do payments, sure. But do it right. They have this thing in the U.K. called Sterling. Check it out, it’s really amazing.

  • jdiamo91 Joshua Diamond (@jdiamo91) reported

    @evan_van_ness @lukemulks @signalapp Plus, I just went to MobileCoin site and read their terms of service, which appear to exclude US Persons...

  • beland_matt Matt Beland (@beland_matt) reported

    @_vsaw @signalapp It would make a slight difference. To be fair, I'm on record as believing there are only two types of people involved in cryptocurrency: idiots, and criminals. Some crossover between them, of course. And in recent months, Signal has had serious problems with toxic communications

  • sakeblues sake (@sakeblues) reported

    @balajis @moxie @signalapp The problem is that a centralized coin, combined with a centralized messaging app that requires your phone number, is not privacy-optimized at all. And is specially problematic when said coin forbids its use on certain countries + there were far better alternatives like Monero.

  • AndroidEducator ձռժгօﻨժ εժսcձէօг (@AndroidEducator) reported

    @tutulogic @signalapp No issues with mine

  • OnTheFenceDev On The Fence Dev (@OnTheFenceDev) reported

    @nmjohns1 @signalapp Session looks interesting - but another free service? How do they keep this lights on?

  • ppseafield ppseafield (@ppseafield) reported

    @signalapp After the WhatsApp fiasco and large server load from folks switching caused issues, I started donating monthy. But this just makes me regret ever using Signal. I'll have to find an alternative now.

  • okl_cayo Cayo (okl (@okl_cayo) reported

    @balajis @moxie @signalapp Because I send a lot of links to my friends of things I think could help them with their career or life, and I was just thinking what about if they want my opinion or links in this case would be great to benefit from it...

  • benmontour Ben Montour (@benmontour) reported

    @signalapp This is not the way. Very disappointed in the decision to go down this path. We trusted you and you "Keybased" us...

  • zbig001 zbig001 (@zbig001) reported

    @woonomic @signalapp The only P2P alternative, capable of serving any number of users simultaneously is @hypermessenger, a "demo" app of the Elastos project. Help develop it if you want an alternative to Signal that you don't have to pay dearly for.

  • DavidShares David 🟢 (@DavidShares) reported

    @be_cashy @signalapp I started being discounted after Moxie went on Joe Rogan and his excuse for telling contacts you joined Signal was something like “don’t you want your friends to know you’re on Signal!” Totally disregarding the actual issue.

  • BannerView BannerView.com (@BannerView) reported

    @Atmos_Black @ahcastor @signalapp Lots of companies and people have hitched their wagon to NFTs, crypto and outright scams. Going to be a lot of reputations down the drain. Unfortunately, most people have short memories when it comes to playing the lotto.

  • mypantsaretorn My pants are torn again (@mypantsaretorn) reported

    @yakinavault @smdiehl @signalapp It solved so many problems. Problems like "ponzi schemes are illegal," "fraud is hard," "ransom payments are traceable," "GPUs are too cheap," "climate change is too slow," and more. Truly revolutionary.

  • livebeef 🦎 Curious Reptile 🦎 (@livebeef) reported

    A cryptocurrency for @signalapp is a terrible idea. It's difficult enough to defend end to end encryption without inviting financial regulators worldwide to chime in.

  • Thint_ Thint (@Thint_) reported

    @mobilecoin @signalapp Yeah I'm not worried about that. The main issue is that you guys took VC investment and basically have no public plan for the community. I didn't write the reddit post but I'm still disappointed after reading it.

  • TristonDsouza Triston Dsouza (@TristonDsouza) reported

    @signalapp the one problem am generally facing and many users are that we r not able to u hear the ringtone loud incoming calls it only vibrated ......... I hope u guys find the solution of ut ..... I respect ur privacy 🙏🙏👍

  • NickBCastano Nicholas Castano (@NickBCastano) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible move that will stop me from ever donating again.

  • beland_matt Matt Beland (@beland_matt) reported

    @_vsaw @signalapp The biggest that come to mind were their response to concerns raised around a feature that was poorly thought out and badly implemented - to wit, shut down conversation and ban the contributors. (Search "iran signal proxy") Then there was the fiasco around virtual keyboards.

  • LauryAnnne Laury-Anne (@LauryAnnne) reported

    What's wrong with @signalapp ? I receive porn from unknown users. I've never had this issue with text messages or whatsapp before. 😣 #signal
