Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • evilcyber Erik the *** (@evilcyber) reported

    @dysinger @signalapp Supposedly there is an encrypted sender, and they dump the log asap. And at the current state seems pretty solid. My worry is what pressures may be applied. (legal or otherwise) Big Q: is there a proto that completely blinds S->R association from the service?

  • Imthebest14life Imthebest14life (@Imthebest14life) reported

    @signalapp I hate how the person i am chatting with in Signal can turn off disappearing messages. I want to keep disappearing messages on for my messages and not allow them to change this! Fix this please!!!

  • StromschlagYT Stromschlag (@StromschlagYT) reported

    Hey @signalapp please fix listening to voice memos on iPhone! When listening to a voice memo holding the phone to my ear it stops playing the sound after every voice memo.. UI shows it plays the memo, but no sound. Need to exit conversation or exit app and start again. Huge PITA.

  • andros_ua Andriy (@andros_ua) reported

    @lattera @signalapp I had to 🔒 signal in memory (in task manager), turn off power management for signal, enable automatic startup of signal to resolve the issue.

  • chitraravi Chitra Ravi (@chitraravi) reported

    @ssunderaswara @signalapp ha ha! The problem is that many of my international partners do not have Signal. And when they want to forward some important videos, they still struggle. Reaching me is never a problem, but it's just the ease for them. But, yes, still thinking :)

  • alkhinjar_11 الخنجر (@alkhinjar_11) reported

    @signalapp @ghc You have many problems in the program and solve the technical problems in the program😠

  • H3R3TIK4L H3R3TIK4L (@H3R3TIK4L) reported

    @mcflyhh @signalapp Not to be that guy, never had a problem with signal on Linux. First sync is a bit slow maybe

  • Padraigreidys Pádraig Reidy (@Padraigreidys) reported from Fingal County, Leinster

    @ChasTaylor @signalapp There seems to be an apex with social apps where when "everyone and their mam" just uses it, and that becomes the reason to continue using the service. WhatsApp groups absolutely tether their users to the app.

  • alkhinjar_11 الخنجر (@alkhinjar_11) reported

    @Antypool @signalapp Signal has many technical problems that have not been resolved and now there is a problem with the group link and there is no interest in the program

  • tiesmellema Ties Mellema (@tiesmellema) reported

    @signalapp iOS app crashes upon startup after less than a second. How can I fix this without reinstalling (this losing my messages)? Cheers

  • h0m54r Tachibana Kanade (@h0m54r) reported

    @OnosumeKatsudou @theshillito @signalapp It's not an SMS app though? It goes over the internet, it doesn't use the phone network. The issue is that as far as I could tell it ties one name to one phone number. As someone who goes by different names in different contexts, that wasn't acceptable.

  • Status_Social Status Social (@Status_Social) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp Yes, but that won’t help us separate personal and business!

  • NullPriestess La Wren 🏳️‍⚧️ (@NullPriestess) reported

    Anyone else on the @signalapp beta channel on android having problems? Currently crashing on startup on my pixel 5. :/

  • aliromah alison harvey (@aliromah) reported

    If you have to communicate with persons in Afghanistan, @signalapp is currently probably the most widely used secure messaging service. If you don't have to, bear in mind your communication could put people at risk.

  • wrl william light (@wrl) reported

    trying to transfer my @signalapp account to a new phone using the "transfer" functionality and it's just... not working. "unexpected error occurred". it's such an important app but the UI/UX just constantly tries my ******* patience.

  • mcflyhh mc.fly (@mcflyhh) reported

    I am trying to use @signalapp on the desktop with linux. It is insanely slow. Am i the only one with that problem?

  • lit_how Lit How (@lit_how) reported

    @signalapp hey, why can’t i create animated sticker pack with signal desktop app? Please help

  • llorenzin Lisa Lorenzin (@llorenzin) reported

    @xabean @signalapp I hate to ask, but - have you opened a ticket with @Signalapp? I had a problem a couple years ago after one of their upgrades, and they not only figured out the issue, they gave me a custom build to fix it so I didn't have to wait for the fix to come in the next GA release!

  • mcflyhh mc.fly (@mcflyhh) reported

    @_darrenmartyn @signalapp I am running it since one day in strace and well, what can i say, it runs without any lag. But i see a lot of error messages...

  • cblock81 Caleb Block (@cblock81) reported

    @signalapp is there any issues with the app right now?

  • Benl324 Benjamin Leff (@Benl324) reported

    Whatever happened to my personal image and online social media references were attacks on my account. If you cannot contact me on @signalapp I am not safe and need help.

  • lucky225 Lucky225🍀 (@lucky225) reported

    .@MojaveFoneBooth @signalapp IRC is down (has been for a week or so) due to a change on Signal's side requiring UUID to send now which our current library that we're using doesn't support. As soon as it's updated we'll be back. @WhatsApp can be used as an alternative.

  • luciofm Lucio Maciel 🏳️‍🌈 (@luciofm) reported

    @NullPriestess @signalapp 5.22.3 should fix the issue... Let us know if it doesn't solve it...

    @signalapp Hi, When i send a video and i want to cancel it, i can’t, i need to wait unitl it been sent and deleted it from both sides, which is really annoying. I’m using latest update for the system and the app. Please fix it

  • mikewiow MikeW (@mikewiow) reported

    @signalapp More delay issues? Pal sent me a reply at 8pm last night.....finally delivered to my phone (plugged, charged & online all the time) almost 12 hours later. You're starting to make WhatsApp look good 🙄
