Woke up to see that @signalapp, which I never use, had a notification badge. Opened it to a full screen dialog demanding that I set up a PIN. “Learn more” yields a very jargony document that does not help. Thinking of just deleting the app. Is this what being old is like?

Hey @signalapp, some ppl in Iran are having a problem. They can not receive your text message to finish the installation process. Are there any issues at your end or the Iranian government is blocking your text messages?

@signalapp All mobile service providers in Iran have blocked signal authentication calls. Predict a new solution. Quickly please

@fredbenenson @signalapp Does every other app update automatically? It's possible that isnt the issue and a new phone is what you want

Dear @signalapp, push notifications system is not working properly. I have to open #Signal to check new messages. Please help.

@rahulrajrai @har00ga @signalapp changing software instead of addressing the issue directly isn’t a solution. sounds like a “use linux instead” kind of answer, respectfully.

@signalapp hey Signal! Not all my contacts who have Signal are showing up. They tried messaging me but I'm not receiving it too. I synced my google account and refreshed contacts. How do I fix this?

******* hell the Android @signalapp kept crashing on me when my friend texted me on his account when the name didn't match and i had the conversation over sms open. Had to clear all of the data in it in order to fix the damn bug and lost all chat message's!

@signalapp my signal seems to have an outage. No longer receiving messages. Rebooted app and phone already, no improvement.

@posco @signalapp I believe the issue was specifically notifying them in a way that can’t be disabled. this isn’t my domain. I think every reminder comes with risk is the sentiment.

@dfranke I've been seeing massive @SignalApp deliverability issues for the past > 30 hours. No sign of improvement yet. @riskybusiness, have you heard anything on the grapevine? You mentioned some disruptions a couple of weeks back...

@signalapp I want to make signal my default texting app on my android, but it's not letting me import my text history from my phone messages... Not getting any prompts for import... Help!

@har00ga @signalapp i feel like this ties in with the issue of identifying your account with a phone number in the first place, because even if you couldn’t remove a contact at least that list would be less easy to identify with you, no?

Anyone using @signalapp and/or @telegram? Thoughts on using it? Gauging which route to go down to eventually replace WhatsApp.

@the_etruscan @signalapp I don’t know what you’re referring to. Can you say something more? You do only need someone’s phone number to send a message, but that’s also true of iMessage and SMS. Doesn’t seem like an issue to me.

@signalapp Do you have a system status page somewhere? Couldn't find it on your web site and it seems like there's a *serious* deliverability issue at the moment.

@telecon @signalapp 'used to me changing keys' is a problem. Hijacking SMS to take someone's number on signal is very trivial. Even if you have a PIN there's a 7 day cool down if you forget it. If you're out on vacation for 2 weeks this can be an issue. I post a public signed doc with my safety #'s

@signalapp I'm getting no ticks on messages (not even sending) and receiving nothing, though I know things have been sent. No connection/internet problem. Others seem not to have an issue. It's not you, it's me?

@iwaslooked @Bitwarden @signalapp I think that won't be the problem in this case. Messaging apps generate enormous amount of traffic.

@signalapp I just did a reset on my phone, and trying to reinstall Signal, I am stuck at the "Enter the code we sent to …" step. No SMS arrives, neither I receive a coode. My service provider says everything on their end is alright.

People laughed at me for using @signalapp in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... The same people still trying to hold me down if I shill the future with them.

Growth hacks that sacrifice value for short term engagement: Sending a notification anytime someone you know joins the service. Ahem @joinClubhouse and @signalapp.

@signalapp are there any issues with receiving verification call/code? I've changed my phone and I'm not getting any call or code for verification.

Anyone run into this @signalapp issue on Android? Share a URL from browser and select Signal as share app. Send message. Go back into Signal later, and find your share and preview is prepop'd again in compose. Delete and do a new message. Repeat. Eventually stops, idk why
