  @signalapp Funnily, I hear some people have problems with their iPhone, but not Android.

• 
  Matthew Unger (@ungermatt) reported 6 minutes ago

  @mattdlockyer @signalapp Yeah that was bad timing for them to go down. Lots of communities looking for a new home and testing telegram, signal, and slack

  @dmitry_says @ashtonpittman @signalapp There is no tradeoff. If you would start weakening encryption other regimes would hunt down activists for human rights. You can't demand that, just because you think your principles are worth more than Putin's.

  @AravindhStanley @signalapp Same issue here. However my wife who just installed can see my messages and respond, But I can't see her answers... Let's wait some time. @signalapp is scaling up their infrastructure, which is not an easy task, obviously :-)

  @signalapp Give them a time, use Telegram as a second service, they will be back soon. It is like empty supermarket during panic buying, they are restocking, but are unable to make it quick enough :)

  @signalapp did a logout login.... Lost few groups from the list in the bargain.

  @plookit @signalapp Why is this embarrassing? More and more people want to talk securely and privately and are no longer interested in #WhatsApp and #Facebook. This can lead to minor problems. This is a sign that we are on the right track! #SignalApp

  @jamie_jhnstn @signalapp Already had Signal and have moved a bunch of WhatsApp groups there now so will give them time to fix it, otherwise yeah...

  @signalapp Trying my best to migrate friends and family to Signal from whatsapp. But that shall only last if such issues in the initial days doesnt happen.... Going all in on you @signalapp... Do not let me down

  @signalapp Really love the minimalistic feel, but prolly will move to @telegram if this can't be a stable service

  @signalapp Not working 😔

• 
  Karim Dorzadeh (@karim_dorzadeh) reported 20 minutes ago

  @_atjn @Snowden @signalapp Well, I read the article. All of it was just assumption of possible vulnerabilities, or issue of trust. It doesn't mention that It's protocol or encryption is compromised. It doesn't mention that Telegram Secret Chats are vulnerable. That tells a lot.

  @signalapp fix error 503 😣

• 
  mitanshu (@mitanshu) reported 28 minutes ago

  @signalapp Repeatedly getting "bad encrypted message" from a single contact. Any way to stop that notification while you resolve technical issues and add extra capacity? 🔕

  Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported 32 minutes ago

  @signalapp is down again ☹

• 
  Selma (@scharlakenlied) reported 33 minutes ago

  @signalapp @LA_Devotweet Still not working.

• 
  Massimo Lusetti (@mlusetti) reported 33 minutes ago

  @lattera @signalapp Then they probably would be partially down

• 
  Jorge Oliveira (@jorgecondutor) reported 36 minutes ago

  @signalapp Signal ate 400MB mobile data during the night doing nothing due to the outage :/

• 
  Paul Moran (@pdmoran_aws) reported 37 minutes ago

  @steven_bryen @chrismunns @signalapp I have to PAY for a service? Can't they just support a security and privacy product with ads? 🤪

  @signalapp why am not getting activation code? Server problem??

•

  Signal app is not working properly What's the problem? @signalapp

  TheRealKing (@TheOstborg) reported 45 minutes ago

  @wire for the 100th time. Whu share with iOS to make the call screen work properly on the phone? You are giving away my metadata to Apple!! Why?? The @signalapp don't have this issue!!

  @signalapp That's it I'm afraid, this outage has been 16 hours? I'm going to another App. Bye bye.

  Salim Ashraf 🇵🇰 🇦🇪 (@SalimAshraf1) reported 48 minutes ago

  @signalapp I have installed the App yesterday but failed to complete the phone verification process. I am surprised as to what the standard of services would be in the future in context of current outage. Is @WhatsApp still a right choice?

  @signalapp facing the same problems as Pied Piper. It's a good problem tho

• 
  Laxman (@twelvefloz) reported 51 minutes ago

  @signalapp the server being down is gonna cause some major damage....

• 
  Curious Dee (@DaiasDerek) reported 55 minutes ago

  @Snowden @signalapp @Facebook It's apparent now that whatsapp shouldn't have sold to Facebook. Just like Mark didn't want to sell his facebook company. Guess they lost their focus and fell for a flawed deal. Well, there's #SignalApp! No problem.

  Tonio Loewald — Impatiently waiting for 46 (@podperson) reported 57 minutes ago

  @signalapp Anyway. Remember how TOR was created by the *US navy* to help foreign freedom movements communicate safely and secretly (they said)? How Bitcoin was developed by ??? as anonymous virtual cash. Both immediately became the tools of criminals.

• 
  @3000 (@3000000Eeh) reported 58 minutes ago

  @signalapp The problem is still going on. You will lose many members, and the return of migration to WhatsApp will be specific to several waiver of the condition of deleting the account. Please solve the problem quickly

  @signalapp The App is working properly (it seems) but I still have the red message in the display header RE technical problems. Do you have a hint how to remove? App & evan phone have been restarted several times
