Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • GCC_WOLF GCC WOLF (@GCC_WOLF) reported

    @signalapp dear i cannot received sms code and even cannot received call from you. Please help

  • sushi_mast3r Sushi Master (@sushi_mast3r) reported

    @Ro__183 @signalapp If only one could use Signal for cross-app communication (one user uses Signal and the other WhatsApp). That would solve the problem.

  • carterforva Lee 🖖 Carter (@carterforva) reported

    With every piece of software, there is a trade-off between security and usability. @SignalApp used to hit the balance just right on Android, where you could use it for encrypted messages and SMS, and it would tell you which it was. They ended that feature today. Terrible move.

  • DanPino Dan Pino (@DanPino) reported

    @signalapp i've tried several times to transfer my account to my new android from my old android and i keep getting "Transfer failed" at 99.9%. I've restarted both phones multiple times, made sure both apps are on the latest (and same) version, & checked permissions. pls help.

  • Hirsutable KΞVιπ BLλKΞM4N (@Hirsutable) reported

    @miningmark48 @signalapp Yeah I understand why they dropped it. I imagine 95% of their support calls were from people who were losing messages. Because the UX is ******* terrible for contacts who don't use Signal, or have signal installed but don't use it as their default SMS app.

  • macciesshank3AM Name (@macciesshank3AM) reported

    @maybearidan @signalapp Good job I don’t care what’s legal and illegal. If a crime has no victim, I have no problem with people committing it. Morality is important, legality means nothing.

  • scifacts4kids Ashley Davis (@scifacts4kids) reported

    @aginnt @signalapp Illusions that encryption is safe for privacy. They can unencrypt, capture via backdoors etc. They can hack remotely into phones - Israeli tech co sells that service.

  • taniaaamaria Tania Maria (@taniaaamaria) reported

    @signalapp something is going on with your audio messages. They get locked and cannot be sent. You need to force close the app to continue. This happens on iPhones, not just me. Are you aware of this issue? Thanks

  • commandlinekid cmk (@commandlinekid) reported

    @signalapp Can you please fix the Windows app File Edit bar at the top of the Signal application? It's smaller than regular apps, and VERY hard to move around. This is low-end. Have a millennial address please and set back to big boy style. Thank you.

  • InboundFrog Mike #DontBuyDell (@InboundFrog) reported

    @signalapp why can't I fully delete someone from my contacts list? This seems like a fairly basic, and useful feature. Looking in the forums and reported issues, this just seems to be ignored.

  • deadvolvo I am d3d (dead, мёртв, 死了) (@deadvolvo) reported

    @123dollarbill @signalapp Signal killed its SMS service to people without Signal App on their phone. Now when I get incoming texts from others, I can't reply and have to use another application to do so... this is something I am not going to do, as I don't play on my phone all day like most people.

  • petazz Oskari Petas (@petazz) reported

    @signalapp Can't log in because I can't ask the SMS. Is your service down?

  • tampa_bitcoin Wesley (@tampa_bitcoin) reported

    @sovereignbrah @signalapp @sethforprivacy help

  • a_mortal_b3ing Baharul Islam (@a_mortal_b3ing) reported

    @signalapp And I've tried to donate to Signal but even the donation section is broken.

  • LamoureuxEterna 𝙼𝚊𝚗ºⁿ𝙼𝚒𝚜𝚜𝚒𝚘𝚗 🕊 𝙻𝚒𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚗⚕︎𝙻𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚗 (@LamoureuxEterna) reported

    @ashleevance @signalapp There’s a known issue, they’re looking at it. (It would still be helpful to submit a crash report) Does the app open when in airplane mode & wi-fi = off? Would it be too wild, to suggest that you run the Signal testflight beta version 🪇?

  • TbtTold TBT - Truth Be Told (@TbtTold) reported

    @sovereignbrah @signalapp They have always been watching. Now that they are switching to A.I. controlling everything, and yes that is a thing, it is not a conspiracy theory, look it up. We are getting a real SKYNET. We are in real trouble.

  • adura_76 adura (@adura_76) reported

    @ricooci41849656 @signalapp I had same issues days back but @KatherineCoder7 helped me recovered my account back and I can now login my account back as normal you can message her for help

  • a_mortal_b3ing Baharul Islam (@a_mortal_b3ing) reported

    @signalapp (Going all the way down to the chat list to find Archived Conversation section is like going to mining for coal.) And there should be an option to keep Archived Chats in Archived Conversation section always even after receiving messages.

  • BenAkuffoDarko Benjamin Darko (@BenAkuffoDarko) reported

    @Ro__183 @signalapp Go off Whatsapp for a day. Announce that you are on Signal, when any of your contact joins signal block them on Whatsapp. It will help you build your contact list and your frineds won't uninstall the app because they need to reach you.

  • ClassicAmerican Grant (@ClassicAmerican) reported

    @was_not_here @signalapp Well I don't if I can help it but unfortunately there are people out there who still do. In fact, most people still do.

  • ogoncaIo ogoncalo ♥ freedom (@ogoncaIo) reported

    @CryptoTweetie @signalapp @session_app To be fair, Signal UX is super smooth, while Session still has all these random glitches and some don't make me feel very comfortable (e.g., disappearing messages not working reliably) ... Also, how Sybil resistant is it where token prices are now?

  • jaciunscripted Jaci (@jaciunscripted) reported

    @signalapp we're having issues on the app where it doesn't send and receive messages unless we open it. any ideas?

  • Zoiks Zoiks (@Zoiks) reported

    @signalapp well it's happened. My signal contact list just dropped from 20+ to 4. This is not how you help make secure messaging. What an own goal.

  • officiallyclayy Clay_official (@officiallyclayy) reported

    @signalapp been having issue with app in terms of connecting to calls and connecting to signal server.

  • sin277 Sinclair (@sin277) reported

    @Ro__183 @signalapp And the fact that there is almost zero media coverage on Signal doesn't help the cause

  • vivekkudecha Vivek Kudecha (@vivekkudecha) reported

    @signalapp having issue to sending and receiving msgs from andorid to ios and visa versa !!!!!! i’m facing since last 6 months

  • Tatty_Corum Tatty Corum (@Tatty_Corum) reported

    @WhatsApp @signalapp @google_voice. Why are you #Blocking_Google_Voice_Numbers? It's the only number I have. I have no problem with #Signal_app and other #messaging_Apps. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • a_mortal_b3ing Baharul Islam (@a_mortal_b3ing) reported

    @signalapp Forget about other features like Full Size File sharing (Document Mode) & File sharing File size limit is mere 100MB, in this era of 5G. No poll option for groups. I've no problem with not having the features mentioned above. But not everyone is like me.

  • duncanmudulo Tim (@duncanmudulo) reported

    Just rephrased most of @signalapp 's terms of service for something I'm building, coz I like their approach to privacy and security...and most importantly, I'm no lawyer 😎

  • AJSteel18684022 AJ Steele (BAEálity LTD ®) pro LBGTQIA+ (@AJSteel18684022) reported from Newton in Makerfield, England

    @signalapp I'm having problems with app security it keeps unlocking automatically...
