    @RecIaimTheNet @signalapp you have a great product but beware of who you hire. Your employees must share your values or else they will eventually tear down what you have built. Don't hire ANYONE who doesn't eat, sleep, breathe privacy and freedom.

    @signalapp Everything is okay But you have to act fast before people find signal not friendly and smooth Few issues Slow typing speed Slow media sharing Text style changing required like whatsapp

  • f4ulpilz Sin 🐙 (@f4ulpilz) reported

    @signalapp @wedelapan Hey, I'm on iPhone 6, iOS 12.4.8 - larger group chats (40+) won't recieve my messages ("not sent to server symbol"), while I CAN post to small groups. I know at least one more person to have this error. Please fix that, big chats are about to move back to Whatsapp :(

    @signalapp Can't you guys refrain from using Amazon and Microsoft servers for your service?

  • RaynarXL ♠️📱Raynar📱♠️ (@RaynarXL) reported from The Hammocks, Florida

    . @signalapp I keep noticing a glitch in signal when go to select any media it freezes or there is a real long delay for a bit when selecting pics or video. It's been going on for sometime now. Any fix yet? #SignalApp #bug

  • VJohansyah vjohansyah (@VJohansyah) reported

    @signalapp my group chat not appear in desktop please help

  • real_aghasee aghasee Gab/Parler: @aghasee (@real_aghasee) reported

    @signalapp : fix the notifications on Android. App is next to useless without notifications.

  • itsilyasesmail Ilyas (@itsilyasesmail) reported

    @MattRixman @miladra65 @signalapp Sorry but I don't get how a messaging service on the blockchain would work. Blockchain works by peer-validation, and there needs to be some sort of "reward" for validators. It would work to verify private keys and integrity of devices but not to transmit texts. That's DNS and SSL

  • gceeey Gian (@gceeey) reported

    @signalapp @_GaneshPandey @NourddineAfra I, too, have this problem: I don't receive verification codes. Tried contacting you guys over email to no avail

  • realValorzinski Valorzinski (@realValorzinski) reported

    @moist_turtel @PrisonPlanet @signalapp He said that most people don't get use the secret chat feature for Telegram which uses end to end encryption I think that's more of a user problem than an app problem, people who don't bother to research it probably don't know anything about privacy anyway.

  • molikigan Del-Zooki (@molikigan) reported

    @_GaneshPandey @signalapp could not figure it out, can you submit a bug log under help.

  • Coughfit Cough Syrup Chronic:als (@Coughfit) reported

    @signalapp still has not fully recovered. I have been unable to to send more than a 2min video when i was sending 15mins before Jan 6. Hoping things work out soon before i have to find a new service. #SignalApp

    @molikigan @signalapp Based in Nepal. I use Nepal Telecom i.e NTC as a service provider

  • joemosety Joe The Guy😎 (@joemosety) reported

    @signalapp It’s really a tough one to have a fill-up and consistency on signal but I hope they can fix their speed and market good enough... I’m ready to move

  • HoshyarBawan Bawan ⚙️ (@HoshyarBawan) reported

    @dashtyfr @BrooskHamarash @signalapp I've actually been using the linux app more because I don't have that issue there. I mostly have it with the android app.

    @BRANDENDORSERng @signalapp Dem just dey shalaye up and down

  • CrosbieLiz Liz Crosbie 🕯#RebootGB #FBPE (@CrosbieLiz) reported

    @pledgeforeurope @signalapp I ended up uninstalling it and starting again. Lost some unopened messages but seems now to work. Fingers crossed it is now operational. I don't recall ever being asked for a passphrase hence the problems.

  • Sanjay_Maz Sanjay Mazumdar (@Sanjay_Maz) reported

    Hello @moxie I am not getting any notifications despite following all trouble shooting steps recommended on your help page. Using Pixel 3a with the latest version of Android. Your help is appreciated. Have Emailed @signalapp support to no avail. #SignalApp Cheers

  • satysin Morgan (@satysin) reported

    @ValdasVaitiekus @Chauhanraj3019 @signalapp Been using Signal for two years and other than the outage the other day I've not had a single problem. What issue are you seeing?

  • gceeey Gian (@gceeey) reported

    @signalapp @_GaneshPandey @NourddineAfra I, too, have this problem, tried contacting you guys over email to no avail

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @gr3yg00 @signalapp @moxie Yes, the problem is Western journalists are telling Chinese sources Signal is secure because that's what Signal and the EFF are saying.

  • MattSchnierle Matt Schnierle (@MattSchnierle) reported

    @signalapp Again, love you guys. Give money. The whole thing. When you achieve WhatsApp levels of reliability, then you can dunk. This premise only holds if the service is available to the most informed data protection folks. Ahem.

  • Lowpass Ryan King (@Lowpass) reported

    @theyblinked @signalapp I’m actually pretty surprised someone hasn’t built it already. Distributed mesh Twitter. The problem I suspect is there’s not practical way to index it. BitTorrent needs trackers, IP needs DNS, etc. As far as I know nobody has quite cracked that nut. OpenID came close?

  • Primal_Princess Sasha Winchester (@Primal_Princess) reported

    @signalapp hello, been a user for almost 5 years.. Never a problem until now. Can you please help with android notifications. We aren't getting notifications unless we open the app. Please respond! Tried all your troubleshooting. Thank you.

  • SWK_GalaxyKool ReapSeck l Daniel (@SWK_GalaxyKool) reported

    @signalapp hello, im having some trouble trying to configurate Signal on my cellphone, everytime it just stops working,it became like this since the last update, can you please help me ?

  • jahidulahmed jahidul ahmed (@jahidulahmed) reported

    @signalapp Why sharing image video is so time consuming?? Either u fix or we leave signal???

  • elysiumnights Elysium (@elysiumnights) reported

    @signalapp @e2_b2 You really need to write native windows and Mac apps from the ground up. Telegram has this already and it’s an enormously better experience I’m afraid. Tweaks and new features won’t fix the Signal desktop apps. Only native apps written from scratch.
