  • borolopezphoto Bᴏʀᴏ Lᴏᴘᴇᴢ (@borolopezphoto) reported

    @elonmusk @moxie I am using @signalapp because is the least insecure messaging service. None of them is secure as all depends on your brand’s phone and the privacy skills of the person at the other end. Screen reading options/parafernalia features are dangerous. Privacy is complicated.

  • rgarner Russell Garner (@rgarner) reported

    .@signalapp now allows you to support the service for an $affordable amount per month. If you can afford it, please do. It's easier to support an existing service than to create a new one when a good free service goes under.

  • Trblytenacious Teresa (@Trblytenacious) reported

    @signalapp HI @signalapp Help please! Messages i send on app are not delivered & messages sent to me show sent but I don't receive them. How do I fix this?

  • zeJohnDoe John Doe 🎙 (@zeJohnDoe) reported

    @signalapp Hello Signal! I had a problem with my old smartphone, but I was able to recover an old backup. I want to recover the content and merge this backup with the new one to restore everything on my application. Could this be possible in the future?

  • FredianNue Fredian Nue (@FredianNue) reported

    I am thinking of deleting Signal and going back to Whatsapp. Signal is a very good app but when it comes to service they are in last place. When you ask questions about installing the app on Github you don't get an answer. This makes me very sad😔 @signalapp

    @signalapp Hi need help alot of users on the app are being mass added to lots of groups. There is no way to stop apart from deleting the groups.

  • kushh_25 Kush Nigam (@kushh_25) reported

    @signalapp I uninstalled signal. Now when i reinstalled it. I want my old chats.I have backup of those chats in my phone I even have passphrase. But the problem i am facing is your app isn't accepting that passphrase and saying it is incorrect. Please help me out

  • MarkPoppen Mark Poppen 🇳🇱🇨🇦 (@MarkPoppen) reported

    @andysowards I completely agree. I'm in the same boat. My phone needs to make phone calls, run @signalapp and email. I don't need to upgrade, but my daughter would like a phone she can actually install things on, so I was planning to hand mine down but not if I have to pay $30/month extra.

  • derAlff_IoT derAlff (@derAlff_IoT) reported

    Hey @signalapp I’m trying to program a little plugin for the open source project @ioBroker. Had some problems by creating an account (HTTP err402). Now, after solving this issue, I ran into the next issue (HTTP err401). Do you have anywhere a complete documentation about the API?

  • Chica_Maru80 Maritza De Jesus (@Chica_Maru80) reported

    @littleelflady @signalapp Same issue. I don’t get notified any longer when someone leaves me a message. Have to open the app to then see it. Very annoying. I tried te registering. Don’t want to have to delete the app cause I don’t want to lose the actual thread. Signal needs to fix it

  • panpolo_ slow motion (@panpolo_) reported

    @signalapp please help! is there any way i can recover the chat?
