    @signalapp it doesnt seem like messages are syncing between my phone and the desktop app. messages on my phone show up on the desktop, but messages i type on the desktop do NOT show up on my phone. i've tried to re-link the desktop but that doesn't help.

    People power, in this context, means choosing to use technology in ways that protect you, rather than threatening to harm you. @signalapp is a centralized service operated for the good of its users, rather than the profit of its proprietors. #FOSS

    @signalapp I have a problem with the password you send me saying it is wrong when I enter it .

  • roamingraghu Raghu | రఘు (@roamingraghu) reported

    Dai @signalapp your app on @Android is not giving notifications on time. They get delayed by hours! Please fix

  • masonnuyo Mason Nuyo (@masonnuyo) reported

    @krishnatre_sid @signalapp Are you on iOS and your friend is on Android? I ask because I believe with Android you can block screenshots...but on iOS, that feature is not available. I could be wrong...but maybe that might be the issue.

    @avnilesh @signalapp No, no problems. #SignalApp

  • vishugosain SleepyVishal (@vishugosain) reported

    Please add missing notifications issue to your next sprint @signalapp. Everything else is working great.👌🏻

  • bentscrews bent screw (@bentscrews) reported

    I am getting multiple echoes in audio, while making audio video or group audio/video calls on @signalapp the audio echoes multiple times and reverbes. This continues with 'relay calls' switched on or off. What could be done to fix the echo in audio? @elonmusk @brianacton

  • yourlastcritic John (@yourlastcritic) reported

    @signalapp Thank you for all the hard work and really glad to finally get my social circle on board. I’m having an issue with the desktop client on Linux where messages I send there are received in the group but they don’t appear on my phone. I’m on version 1.39.5. Any ideas?

  • avnilesh Nilesh (@avnilesh) reported

    @signalapp down again?

  • shepherdsman_in Jojo B. (@shepherdsman_in) reported

    @olischolz @moxie @signalapp Exact same problem here too. I only get a missed call notification after the caller gets tired and disconnects. No ringing notification, unless I have my Signal open and waiting for the call.

  • jordanleoreal Dr. Patel (@jordanleoreal) reported

    @signalapp I am running into an issue. As an Android user I can't seem to send my messages to an IOS user I am however receiving their messages. They used to have the signal app installed but not anymore.

  • FreddySeltzer FreddySeltzer (@FreddySeltzer) reported

    Anyone else having issues with using @signalapp for SMS/MMS messages? I'm guessing it might have to do with the overload of their services..

  • jgdeshpande2008 Jayant G. Deshpande (@jgdeshpande2008) reported

    @signalapp I had earlier tweeted about the number of errors in Signal app. I was wrongly misappropinized because of ignorance about how to use Signal app effectively. The images, mms sent from Signal app had been sent by me to Whatsapp user. That may be reason he ...(1/3)...

  • olischolz oliver scholz (@olischolz) reported

    @moxie and @signalapp - Regularly when making calls from the Signal app, the receiving side does not ring, despite all their notifications being set up properly. Is this a looming problem from your growth spurt?

  • FUCKINGPOKEMON FUCKINGPOKEMONTRAINER (@FUCKINGPOKEMON) reported

    @signalapp Why it is so hard to register with you? I was already in, the suddenly your app requires me to use my text messages service only with your app, then kickedme out and now i cant register or enter because I'm already registered.?? wtf

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @DraganTventi @signalapp What kind of problems do you have?

  • dacentral Abhishek Srivastava (@dacentral) reported

    @signalapp Signal is down again. No message sending, no calls.

  • Sabawit3 ሳባዊT (@Sabawit3) reported

    @admediainsider @signalapp @karunasharmaa There is no problem. Left Facebook on 2011 and will do it with WhatsApp too. Their loss.

  • ItsTheRealKR ItsTheRealKR (@ItsTheRealKR) reported

    @moxie @signalapp Signal currently allows you to find contacts in your phone but there's a problem in that for me - I don't have the phone numbers of some friends that I haven't been in contact in awhile and It would be really great if you gave all users usernames and allowed..

  • ErAnsArMughal Er AnsAr Mughal { انصر مغل } (@ErAnsArMughal) reported

    @moxie @olischolz @signalapp Also voice delay problem. Voice is 2-3 sec in delay

  • ruark Ruark 🌍 (@ruark) reported

    So interesting feature with @signalapp AFAIK it doesnt fully sync between the desktop and mobile. "Signal Desktop acts as its own standalone device and sends/receives messages on its own, directly connected to the service, without using your phone as a proxy."

  • ArnoldasGurskis Arnold 💙 (@ArnoldasGurskis) reported

    @signalapp I also noticed that when on video call - it uses about 300kb/s of data. But the same call on messenger uses only 90kb/s max. Is it a compression issue? Not that it matters on WiFi, but it does on data.

  • masubhatlife 🍗🍚🍑📱💻🎧🎸🤔 (@masubhatlife) reported

    I just received an email from @signalapp service support team regarding my concerns with not receiving the OTP to activate my account. They seem really dedicated to provide us new members with their service and expand their servers. Hope to get connected ASAP with #signal.

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @freenando75 @signalapp Why? Log in with your tablet and the phone number of your Nokia. Then connect your tablet to your Linux system. At least the first one should work without problems.

  • NoderOf Noder of the truth 🛡 (@NoderOf) reported

    @yashalevine @torproject @signalapp This is FUD. Tor uses many layers of and protocols ensuring one node cannot know where the info came from. Singal is e2e encrypted. No vital info is stored in servers. Meta data analysis for both is viable and happens. This is an intrinsic problem of IP protocol
