  • PrinceOfLurg 𝕊𝕥𝕖𝕧𝕖 ℍ𝕚𝕝𝕝𝕗𝕠𝕣𝕥 (@PrinceOfLurg) reported

    @signalapp Followed the instructions on the website to to deregister and delete my account. Keep getting an error message when I try to delete, I'd like to know why?

  • zerotogoldca Zero To Gold (@zerotogoldca) reported

    @CWNewser @signalapp Same here depending on the user. The issue seems to be more for those receiving messages on Samsung devices.

  • HadetTheUndying Hadet (@HadetTheUndying) reported

    @elonbadhe @signalapp @elonmusk Signal is a federated open source service. If you want to improve reliability donate your time/skills/assets/money. With services like Whatsapp you are the product being sold to advertisers. Privacy respecting services are not easy to fund.

  • Takeshi57665578 Takeshi (@Takeshi57665578) reported

    @signalapp Issues of basing on centralized service

  • derellgeide derellgeide (@derellgeide) reported

    @signalapp Dear Signal, Stellar work so far. One suggestion for iOS: I don’t like that while I’m recording a voice message it gets automatically deleted if the low battery alert pops up or a call comes in. Please fix.

  • __phxxx MISS🌙 (@__phxxx) reported

    @psx_ps @signalapp I encountered the same problem for several days LOL

  • bigyahu alan jones (the good one) (@bigyahu) reported

    @lants @signalapp Heart-broken. Can't tell you how much I need a second iPhone 12.

  • yxdede Dean #RestoreTheSnyderVerse (@yxdede) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp Hello I'm from Brazil! I have a problem with the signal I send audio to my wife's iPhone 11 and she cannot hear the audio, just as she cannot send me audio, can you help me?

  • MichaelKnoefler Michael Knöfler (@MichaelKnoefler) reported

    @BlankFX_ @ArMalic_Ns @signalapp Somebody who what’s to get a service for free and it’s not even willing to change their language for one official message does not even deserve that kind of service. If you don’t want to pay with your privacy you need to donate for Signal to let them have more possibilities.

  • paul_havers Paul Havers (@paul_havers) reported

    @signalapp seems to be a slight glitch sending messages

  • tenacioustigrrr TT (@tenacioustigrrr) reported

    @signalapp I have had issues for the last 2 weeks. Long delays sending messages, and also not receiving messages from a member of a group chat that I'm the Admin of. 🤔

  • JThomasBurgess Thomas Burgess (@JThomasBurgess) reported

    @synesti @signalapp they were down for a few hours for some people

  • arjunken Arjun (@arjunken) reported

    @signalapp friends at Signal, please fix the bug that adds a lot of echo while doing a video call. This happens especially when you do long distance calls. Please check.

  • souravraj0 Sourav raj (@souravraj0) reported

    @signalapp There is one more issue with signal ... If you do voice call or video call for more than an hour you'll experience device heating issue.

  • Akash0304 Akash (@Akash0304) reported

    Hey @signalapp I'm facing msg delay & sometimes msg sending problem

  • kafloosi Kafloosi (@kafloosi) reported

    Hi there @signalapp there seems to be a problem with the summer time. Messages recieved will be saying it came in an hour ago whilst in the chat

  • budbx90 Budbx (@budbx90) reported

    @signalapp signal down?

  • J__Hein JH (@J__Hein) reported

    I was just getting ready to move from Whatsapp to @signalapp While testing it I sometimes wasn't able to send or receive messages any more. It said I wasn't connected to the internet - all other apps worked fine though! Only a restart solved the issue. Is this a known bug?

  • SandraVeters Sandra (@SandraVeters) reported

    @zerotogoldca @CWNewser @signalapp There is a push notification reset button in the app. This solves the problem for some friends of mine who were not getting notifications immediately. Also on the troubleshoot pages of the website of Signal are some great other solutions, as well in the community area.

  • battenza90 battenza (@battenza90) reported

    @signalapp Hi I'm just now experiencing this issue. Any updates?

  • sircalic Dan (@sircalic) reported

    @signalapp Hey guys. Haven't been able to receive a verification code, even after trying multiple times over the last 5 days. Help

  • CWNewser Chris Weidner (@CWNewser) reported

    @signalapp I regularly have an issue that I send a message and it doesn't get delivered for 10-20 minutes. Is that just a me thing or what? If there's something I can do to eliminate that, I'd love to hear from you about it.

  • Corekane Jonathan Williams (@Corekane) reported

    @psx_ps @signalapp They have harsh compression because they claim it’s for others who have slow Internet. In the next update they’ll fix the compression.

  • dj_toastdad Original Texas Most (@dj_toastdad) reported

    @_eigenfoo @signalapp Crazy to assume that it just serves up a different version of the page when there’s a known outage?

  • virtuallyou2 Virtuallyou (@virtuallyou2) reported

    @signalapp yeah mine was down for about half an hour. was wondering what happened.

  • Bo_Lox_ Bo Lox (@Bo_Lox_) reported

    @JonDo_Lasagna69 @signalapp It’s a free service, so take it or leave it.

  • bla1ze Bla1ze (@bla1ze) reported

    @KJRowe6 @signalapp Glitch in the Matrix I guess. Seems fine now but others also had issues.

  • simon_peel Simon Peel (@simon_peel) reported

    @PNthandah @signalapp Or, no. Wow, opinions eh? Stories are a terrible thing in a messenger. End of.... story.

  • AndrewWaltersKS Andrew (@AndrewWaltersKS) reported

    @signalapp getting a lot of amazon spam messages. Please fix as this is getting out of hand.
