    @KushiKanzaki @leyaumegui @signalapp Can you tell me any specific error you see? Or a screenshot where you face the issue?

    @signalapp @moxie There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. The content of the gifs is in a state of harm to morality It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

    @signalapp @moxie There are some funny pictures and gestures in animated gif files in the signal program. There is a problem with these animated gifs. This is because gifs contain content that is against decentralization. It is your responsibility for people to send such pictures to each other.

    @My2Gwei @signalapp Btc would be good. Eth is a broken scam.

    @adomjan @signalapp Hopefully they can fix it soon. @signalapp good issue to have, eh.

    If @signalapp not working for you, try reboot phone. That fixed it for me. But messages sent to me during outage has not been delivered.

    @gojimmypi @DecaireRobert @signalapp The problem is the flag it sets can be ignored- it's just a suggestion.

  • jayjayHales

    What does @signalapp's tech stack look like? Surprised at the length of this outage.

  • nileshbansal
    nileshbansal (@nileshbansal) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp it's now been 12h with no status update. While I understand the issue of sudden surge, you should provide hourly updates. Otherwise it seems you have given up and stopped the restoration process? Will Signal come back up anytime soon (today, this week)?

  • Xobyr

    @signalapp Still no update? Almost a day with this outage, you will lose lot of new customers if it continues with this pace

  • TheTechSpace
    The World of Tech (@TheTechSpace) reported

    @timkindberg @signalapp @WhatsApp whatsapp is also encrypted, only issue being they store the keys and they sell your meta data to 3rd party

  • SahilMahajan_
    Sahil Mahajan (@SahilMahajan_) reported

    @signalapp Outage is still on.

  • SportzPickz
    C J San Andreas (@SportzPickz) reported

    People switching to @signalapp in droves to avoid these new @WhatsApp privacy changes. Edward Snowden uses signal so that's a ringing endorsement. If Julian Assange is unveiled as a signal user, whatsapp may have a problem on it's hands!

  • JimKopps
    Jim Kopps (@JimKopps) reported

    Hey @signalapp , do you have any intention of ever restoring service or are you just gone now?

  • ericbaustin

    @signalapp is the service outage still ongoing? Is there actions that need to be executed at the user end?

  • fahy_official

    @signalapp Looks like you can't fix it 😕

  • theveritas4
    Truth and Justice (@theveritas4) reported

    @aayushp10 @signalapp It's working work some and not for others. Unless it's working for everyone, it is still down or degraded at best.

  • meetowl
    Michael (@meetowl) reported

    Sending good luck to @signalapp 🤞, there is no way they could have estimated this much of a usage spike, but I'm afraid the recent outage is going to drive people away.

    @andrea_moro @signalapp So far so good. Some issues yesterday, due to 3500 new users...per minute!

  • AnthonyWanger
    Anthony Wanger (@AnthonyWanger) reported

    @gavinmcmahonco @benedictevans @signalapp The TOS are a “lagging indicator”. Lawyers update TOS only *after* the business/product people decide the service offering. Interesting that there is so much (negative) scrutiny of the contractual write-up vs the actual (& new) substance of the terms.

  • nallakonar
    Nalla Konar (@nallakonar) reported

    @DanishSait , when will you release video on Conversation around @WhatsApp privacy policy and @signalapp outage? That's the latest after Tesla's Bengaluru R&D Centre.

    @signalapp Full down

  • kilijanek
    Kili (@kilijanek) reported

    @khimaros @elonmusk @signalapp Java is not the problem here. Problem is with how many users showed up in last few days. Now it seems number of users exceeded 40 mln (I remember when I started to use Signal it was at few tens of thousands). Facebook policy towards WhatsApp changed everything.

  • TheTechSpace
    The World of Tech (@TheTechSpace) reported

    @KevinOnEarth @signalapp currently signal is having some server issues and problems with user sign-ups. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

    @signalapp @TeslaHype The problem is always in the servers. A large influx of users.

    @signalapp Any ETA on the fix ? It is close to 24 hours since services are down..

    Malek (@Malek26526400) reported

    @signalapp I have an error and I think it's not me only the problem is that when I send a message it says that it is sent but it did not deliver to the contact I hope you understand me

    @signalapp donation done from my side! @elonmusk did you donate? You are kind of responsible for service to be down yday by inviting people 😜
