@BooksBoring @signalapp You’re aware someone with Signal Desktop synced can in principle just pull all the messages right out? The problem is they can tout them back on the phone? So your privacy “people should lose their messages on their phone for security” ship has already sailed.

@SyedBurhanuldin @signalapp I tried to give up but unfortunately had to keep there for work and finding homes in cities I travel to. Have you settled down somewhere?

@niketratta @session_app @signalapp I think people trade privacy and data protection for ease of use and popularity very happily , would only come with mass adoption. Chicken and egg problem isn’t it , guess that’s where good marketing + advertising comes to play.

@signalapp For weeks now your app has been nudging me to enter my pin to help me not to forget. I don't want to, it's like a needy child asking for attention. It seems to want this every week. Is there a way to invoke "adult mode" please?

@signalapp hi! It is really impossible to use the application lately, it is very slow, it hangs and closes by itself or it does not respond, is it a general problem?

@signalapp That’s super cool and all, but iOS users still lose all their messages if they lose their phone, which means I can’t recommend Signal to any iOS user. Maybe fix that somehow (like allowing iVloud backup of messages after a big disclaimer)?

Why is the crop on @signalapp so annoying? I drag to the shape I want it to be, and it keeps springing back. Takes about 5 attempts at different crops before it actually sticks. WTAF? Terrible UX. Fix it, please, Signal peeps!

@signalapp @manj_ari I was using Signal but the restore function's failed so I'm unable to retrieve my account. I've lost all my chat! I transferred the back up to my new phone but the .bin file extension is causing problems. I can't access the backup & Signal is no longer available on my old phone!

@brokencypher_ @signalapp For what reason? Because with others app I don’t have that problem🤔

begging @signalapp to implement a more accessible way to record voice notes - some of us are disabled and can't reliably hold down a button for like 5 mins straight! just have the user hold for 3s to start recording then tap to end or whatever idc

@signalapp for weeks messages are arriving late now. Time stamps are accurate, but notifications don't pop up right away or messages don't appear even when checking the chat. Any issues on your end?

@madamelula @signalapp Well for the obvious reason. We all get the same software and if it was an issue with the app itself everyone would be complaining. So logically it's most likely something to troubleshoot on your end.

@signalapp hey why is it when I open the app on a device that hasn’t used signal in two weeks, it won’t function until it’s shown me every message since then, even though the messages are set to disappear after 24 hours? Seems like a major security/ privacy issue

@signalapp my contacts who used to have signal and don't use it anymore don't receive my messages. How can I fix or reset this?

(@joshjob42) reported
@BooksBoring @signalapp I can screenshot anything you send so that’s already a problem. If Signal wants to only be a niche app that’s fine, but I get the impression, since they keep adding features like stickers and stories etc, that they would like to be a major player. They won’t be without backup.

@brokencypher_ @madamelula @signalapp Sometimes we've the same problem, it closes by itself. We've to restart our phones. Then everything is OK again until the next time. This intermittent problem comes once every month to two months. We use mainly Android OS. On Linux phones never had a problem.

Hey @signalapp notifications on Android via Play Services are broken for me. Tried all troubleshooting steps. Data saver off, Signal excluded from battery optimization, etc. On latest beta build.

@madamelula @signalapp Big groups with many people cause a lot of load because of the security Signal is providing. I was part of a group with 1000 people and my (old) phone was really slow when I started Signal. We moved to another service since such layers groups are not private by definition anyways

@signalapp is good for texting but it's totally unreliable for video/audio calls. Even a stable internet connection cannot provide proper video quality(not even 144p, everything's blurred out!) or whatsoever. Audio latency is nearly 1 sec. Would you ever care to fix it?

@signalapp Push notifications are having problems. Messages are only marked as "sent" and not "delivered" until the recipient opens the Signal app on their phone. Happening with multiple contacts
