@SamarthGaba @signalapp Interesting, I never ran into any lag issues with sending Signal messages. And it’s useable on both computer and phone too

Anyone else having problems with @signalapp messages not showing up until LONG after they've been sent? An [important] message that was sent yesterday afternoon at 15:24 only turned up on my phone sometime overnight. Not ideal.

@jack @JesseDorogusker @signalapp used to support encrypted SMS and there were some issues, but if you are controlling the hardware, there may be some good ways to handle this in a more trustless way. To be able to do something like Lightning payments safely w/o internet would be so cool.

@signalapp I cannot make voice calls by signal. How can I fix this? It only says connect and the recipient only says that he missed a call

@Huk06 @signalapp does deleting such apps help or no use once the remote access has been established ?

@signalapp I'd like to be able to block all incoming messages/calls from those not in my contact list. It's a simple solution to issues my family are having.

@signalapp @signalapp I can only assume this update is a mistake because I cannot see a user-friendly justification for flipping the colored chat bubbles this way. So the sooner you could fix it, that'd be wonderful. Thanks. Hopefully today?

@amanmehara Looking forward to see major improvements in Signal's video call issues and a teeny-weeny status feature over this year. Any plans for these, @signalapp? Please say, yes! :')

@signalapp hey folks, tonight Signal automatically created a group with a bunch of unknown numbers (not in my contacts) and spammed them. Help!

.@signalapp your SMS and/or voice service cannot get through to my mobile device. Why cant I verify my existing account through an in-app msg?

If @signalapp happens to know anyone at AT&T who can stop blocking signal, that'd be great. Works on 5 other network providers. Is down for ATT Uverse customers, as if a bad route or intentional drop is in place

@signalapp I was deleting my signal account and it was not taking my 10 digit number, was getting error that this number is not registered with signal. Why the deleting screen wants country code in the mobile number field if you have already selected it in the same screen.

OK, so, I’m really over the edge… is there a way to continually keep an Electron version of @SignalApp linked ”to your mobile device” for more than like 2 WEEKS AT A TIME?! 🤯 I mean, hello? I very much admire the #encryption and OSS aspects… but the #UX kills me. Help!

I'm getting a lot more messages and calls on @signalapp now. More people are starting to take their privacy seriously. Doesn't help that Facebook gives access to most intelligence agencies.

People are leaving security to big companies. Even @awscloud says that their only responsible for their half of the security. While I believe companies should be more security focused and lock everything down to be anonymous. You can't count on it. @MySudoApp @signalapp

My #Liberty @signalapp has gotten so weird that we had to make a Switchboard subroup to direct people to appropriate subgroups on request. And then a member decided in 2 days it was already so annoying he is going to use a bot to issue group links on call via dm....wtf...

@davydunz @wongmjane @signalapp You can follow all of this on the community forum. Send money (crypto) is in testing in 🇬🇧. No need email. I agree for the phone number but as today they try to fight against WhatsApp, so it keep the same way to login, that’s not a priority for Mr Everyone I suppose.
