  • BunkyFob FunkyBob (@BunkyFob) reported

    @Asher_Wolf @signalapp Have said it before, will keep saying it.. .@signalapp have a bizarrely broken concept of privacy.

  • BinaryPatriot The Binary Patriot (@BinaryPatriot) reported

    @signalapp Anyone gonna answer this? Pretty big issue that needs some explaining.

  • jwcroxton 𝕁𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕤 - ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ⁱˢ ᵗʰᵉ ᵖʳᵒᵗᵉˢᵗ - ℂ𝕣𝕠𝕩𝕥𝕠𝕟 (@jwcroxton) reported

    Hey, Has anyone else's @signalapp been acting super glitchy and slow the last few days? I keep having this issue.

  • Abdulgh28355916 Abdulghani (@Abdulgh28355916) reported

    @signalapp Iranian users not able to register them number on signal due to not receiving verification code,help iranian to solve the issue.

  • San_thinker San (@San_thinker) reported

    @signalapp switched to signal almost a month back. have problems with both incoming & outgoing calls and messages. notifications works randomly. already there have been 2 updates but no improvements on these areas.

  • simas_ch Simon Martinelli (@simas_ch) reported

    @Ozzy34000 @SwissDevJobs @signalapp If it was a Windows C# app then I might be willing to help. But JavaScript... no thanks.

  • SarfarazSq Sarfaraz ibn Husain 🗨 (@SarfarazSq) reported

    @signalapp U making privacy base fantastic app and i have just 1 request for you please provide "STATUS" feature in Signal like other app no matter whatever name you give this feature but please make this as soon as possible may it help more and more user makes of Signal Thanks

  • Freeman_Jus Justin (@Freeman_Jus) reported

    @Asher_Wolf @signalapp Agree. Terrible idea. Try the @session_app. Signal fork, no numbers for sign up required (though this makes UX slightly more clunky), a number of added security benefits.

  • rehan408 Rehan Reshamwala (@rehan408) reported

    @signalapp I like this app better than @WhatsApp and trying to move from whatsapp but unfortunately some features are still missing like forward/copy multiple messages from chat window.... please help me to resolve it if I am missing something.....thanks

  • MuktaBhav मुक्ता-भव-यत्रासि (@MuktaBhav) reported

    Captions added to @WhatsApp videos disappear while forwarding whereas @signalapp doesn't have this problem.

  • DeLeon54mk Satoshi DeLeon (@DeLeon54mk) reported

    @zerohedge TL;DR -We can access your signal messages IF we can unlock your phone -Headline expectations not aligned with actual misrepresented entry point -End to End encryption works as intended -@signalapp service fundamentals intact

  • CoderNemesis CoderNemesis (@CoderNemesis) reported

    The thing I've been curious about the possibility of a federated @signalapp where anyone can start their own server and like @joinmastodon. People can send encrypted messages across platforms and not all data would go through a single service.

  • o_burbidge Owen 🎗 (@o_burbidge) reported

    @cheekypj @signalapp Hence why FB is desperately fighting Apple to take them down. The more people who know, the more chance people have of making an informed decision. FB would rather you not do that

  • SiddharthJesani Siddharth Jesani (@SiddharthJesani) reported

    @signalapp you should go for dual account login

  • fraabye Frederik Raabye (@fraabye) reported

    Dear @signalapp could you please fix sharing to allow non-signal contacts again? At least make it a setting.

  • Unbandedshield Hmmmmm (@Unbandedshield) reported

    @signalapp team, what can we do about "error handling incoming message" on the desktop?

  • rehan408 Rehan Reshamwala (@rehan408) reported

    @signalapp I like this app better than whatsapp and trying to move from whatsapp but unfortunately some features are still missing like forward/copy multiple messages from chat window.... please help me to resolve it if I am missing something.....thanks

  • IMSITECH IMSI👾2049 (@IMSITECH) reported

    What use is a Secure App to me ? when an unnecessary SIM card weakens security. I wonder why @Snowden is promoting @signalapp as the safest messaging App. What does @matthew_d_green say about it: Is a cell phone number (SIM) a problem for communication security ?

  • sindher7001 Amandeep Surender Sindher (@sindher7001) reported

    @signalapp is there some glitch ???

  • aero_ned Mister Max (@aero_ned) reported

    Hello, I have an issue with @signalapp . I don't have any notifications when I got a message when i'm on the screenlock. (Samsung S10E) Any tips please ?

  • MSOElevator #MSOgang Vinny (@MSOElevator) reported

    @signalapp are you aware of signal ever being broken?

  • ILikeToTwirl Stefanie (@ILikeToTwirl) reported

    @roamingraghu @lnkslingerrr @signalapp I can understand it's useful for that. Trouble is people are using it like Instagram. I can honestly say I never open status updates. Even on here with Fleets. I guess I just don't want Signal to conform.

  • MartinRugadya MARTIN RUGADYA (@MartinRugadya) reported

    @signalapp phone verification doesn't seem to work with the @africellUG service provider in Uganda. Is there any way you guys can help?

  • DinerL0Bster Mix || Anti Antimasker (@DinerL0Bster) reported

    @signalapp a friend just mentioned this. Could you build an internal scheduling feature? Or at least a poll to help find common times 🙌

  • its_Tamilvanan Tamil (@its_Tamilvanan) reported

    @signalapp Why not showing Online/offline option In chat area ,can you guys help

  • najimhq Najim Hoque (@najimhq) reported

    Recently I have deleted @signalapp . The only issue I was facing with #SignalApp is no one was using Signal from my contact list. 😌

  • Ali_Ghodrat Ali.Ghodrat (@Ali_Ghodrat) reported

    @signalapp Please shut down your service, and come again when you're ready to deliver a good service. 🙏

  • DukeOfLizards1 Ted (@DukeOfLizards1) reported

    @signalapp Hey Signal! Love your service, but it reaaaaally needs a feature to be able to pin posts in group chats to be able to find easily. It would be so crucial. Hopefully y'all have had something like that in the works!

  • _Danny_Ball_ Danny Ball (@_Danny_Ball_) reported

    @signalapp Hi. The cameras not working on my @signalapp iOS 14.4 iPhone XS

  • asifprome Asif I. Prome (@asifprome) reported

    @signalapp You guys talk about ONLY privacy, but never care about your app's quality. Call drop, Slower texting, invisible gallery images sometimes... Lot of issues. Come on! Don't just market your app just based on privacy... Monopoly doesn’t last too long.
