Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • brixjorgn Brix Jørgensen (@brixjorgn) reported

    @SubstratumNet does your decentralized VPN actually work? If so, it could be an ideal solution for @signalapp’s censorship problems.

  • bug_twitt von_A_nach_B (@bug_twitt) reported

    @munishBansalDev @signalapp Try again using a VPN while on your company’s wifi. If Signal works, then your company has the service blocked.

  • aliguneyilmaz (@aliguneyilmaz) reported

    @starfreck @signalapp @torproject usually breaks the apps and sometimes not working

  • peteconnolly Pete Connolly (@peteconnolly) reported

    @signalapp I've got a Signal proxy running on a home service. Is there any way I can make this useable to a reasonable number of people needing my broadband as a proxy for their communications?

  • man1ck_mb MB (@man1ck_mb) reported

    @signalapp calling issue on Android. Initially calling someone using an Android device it doesn't ring on other end, just says "calling". only says "ringing" on 2nd attempt. I thought it was a one off issue but happens every time amongst various contacts. Hope you can fix this

  • berndschmidl Bernd Schmidl (@berndschmidl) reported

    @signalapp now I'm getting this with the sudo ./init-certificate.sh command ERROR: Version in "./docker-compose.yml" is unsupported. You might be seeing this error because you're using the wrong Compose file version.

  • sawherry Sally-Anne Wherry 💙 (@sawherry) reported

    @signalapp I have an odd error. My mother is showing up with a different name on the computer, but not my phone. It is a name that is not in my contact list at all.

  • skmnsh1 skmnsh (@skmnsh1) reported

    @amitt019 @signalapp reported this for weeks now, tried to reinstalled the app as well, and all but still the same. now I can't send files too. @signalapp pls fix 🥺

  • gichiba Griffin Ichiba Hotchkiss (@gichiba) reported

    @signalapp would it be possible for you to fix this in the next update? Few people inside #Myanmar think to put the country code prefix in their contacts, and instead use "09" for mobile numbers. remove the leading 0 and prepend +95, that's all it's gotta do!

  • Rishi_Muni Rishi AI 🇮🇳 (@Rishi_Muni) reported

    @signalapp Just a technical question. Getting issue in WebRTC video streaming because of DTLS 1.0 removal in Chrome 87. Any idea?

  • adangh_ Okta (@adangh_) reported

    @signalapp Signal Indonesia Down?

  • balon525 balon525 (@balon525) reported

    @wiredfire @signalapp trading groups run mainly on telegram and discord. no problem, if signal don't want some users, they will return to whatsapp i guess.

  • _r3iKo 👑 Pikachu (@_r3iKo) reported

    @CarneyJoshuaD @CryptoWhale @signalapp Doge will have utility with Flare. The problem with doge, is that the two parties (gen z and millennials or older) don't understand each other. Doge will do well because of Flare and demand. Gen z has a lot of numbers. They're the majority on the internet right 1/2

  • agath_alex Alexander (Alexandros) Agathos (@agath_alex) reported

    @signalapp You need to be really careful when you play with government blocking. People who use it may get in trouble and you can get in deep trouble.

  • shaomengli Samuel Li (@shaomengli) reported

    @signalapp It seems that the docker image doesn't support ARM architecture right? I was trying to set up the proxy server on a raspberrypi and failed with error "standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error"

  • AmanAlam Aman Alam (@AmanAlam) reported

    After that outage, @signalapp QoS has become really really bad. Ally important chats are now on Signal, and its routinely delaying deliveries across mobile and desktop apps. Soo frustrating

  • FabHonorat FHonorat (@FabHonorat) reported

    @signalapp hey I manage to convince all my family to move to your app, I donated to help and now we receive spam (Amazon) through Signal. You need to fix it quick!

  • biksdhillon Biks Dhillon (@biksdhillon) reported

    @signalapp Signal need to updates proxy for Indian farmer protester where they sit for protest government rollover internet service's.

  • chitu98r Chitransh Rathore (@chitu98r) reported

    @signalapp Your stickers are forcing me to move back to WhatsApp. I have following issue : 1) I can't reply message with Stickers 2) While sharing one stickers it shares the whole package. I don't want to share my personal sticker in whole chat Wish you can do something.

  • 1337666 Klaus Kleinanleger (@1337666) reported

    @signalapp uhmmm, why did you guys remove the issue page on github for the proxy? there were already a couple issues opened with valid points and questions. Or is it just temporary?

  • franky_jpg_exe ₣Ɽ₳₦₭Ɏ (@franky_jpg_exe) reported

    @signalapp @0x00string Hi @signalapp, is there a public list of proxys? I would like to help but I don't know how to "promote" my proxy

  • thepantsparty09 christopher ramirez (@thepantsparty09) reported

    @wallstreetbets @signalapp Doesnt matter if its sus . Signal was created by the people who wanted all the best secrets in one place so they wouldnt have to look too hard to find the people doing the worst secret stuff . Why else would carrier pigeon be endangered and postal service be on its last legs.

  • amitt019 Amit (@amitt019) reported

    @signalapp I know this has been raised before but to +1 the issue. Often the person on the other side doesn't get a call notification. Also, on speaker the calling tone volume keep going up and down.

  • pSYoniK pSYoniK (@pSYoniK) reported

    @signalapp followed the steps in your blog guide to setup a proxy, but got some errors running the script; any way to check if the proxy works before I start sharing my url?

  • SocialSkywalker Luke M (@SocialSkywalker) reported

    .@AskPlayStation why do companies like @signalapp adapt to new users at scale and have a single day of issues, but a powerhouse like you can't make game downloads better than a crawl? I get 170MB on everything else but 10MB on PSN downloads! What gives?!?

  • salient 'Michael Hull (@salient) reported

    @signalapp The long term solution is to contact us @PsiphonInc , we have open-source libraries for all platforms on our GitHub that will give @signal a resilient and reliable solution to your blocking problems... And not just in Iran. Worldwide.

  • chaurasiya_123 Nirajan Chaurasiya (@chaurasiya_123) reported

    @signalapp Excuse me Signal is not working in Nepal. So when will you authorise??

  • SUJAL98SINGH SUJAL SINGH (@SUJAL98SINGH) reported

    hello @signalapp ! , I have forgotten my pin and I don't how to reset it , so can you help me?

  • delfina_k_s Delfina (@delfina_k_s) reported

    @signalapp If you really care for freedom, come up with federated and decentralized network. That is the only long-term solution to the issue.

  • nottrobin robin (@nottrobin) reported

    The constant stream of new people from my contacts joining @telegram and @signalapp suggests that @WhatsApp's dominance might really be in serious trouble. Which is fan-bloody-tastic!
