Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Leo (@LeoVasanko) reported@fanboynz @naomibrockwell @signalapp It is, like all other services that you use are tied to either your phone number or your email. If you care, get a disposable "receive SMS" service or a burner phone, register and set Signal PIN so that anyone else cannot transfer your account even if they get the same number.

Shahedur Rahman (@shahedurrahman) reported@signalapp i was a beta tester for the android app, which started crashing. i have decided to leave beta and reinstall the app, and now i can't login. it constantly says "too many attempt to register this number, try again later" can you please help?
-
Ignatius Nayvadius (@ignatius_tech) reported@signalapp how do I contribute to your stories feature on @github? Which script do I edit? I abused @Snapchat and want to help develop your functionality.
-
Summary Investments (@investedvest) reported@signalapp Can someone at Signal please help me migrate my signal sms data to my phones stock sms app
-
anders kjærulff (@kjaerulv) reported@punkt A better headset would be nice? And a solution to the @signalapp problem - that you cant have a desktop vs. running same time as pigeon, because no camera...
-
sophie malice 🏳️⚧️ (@sophieactual) reported@EdHerdman @signalapp we have very different experiences all my business, family, and friend connections use signal by preference, with sms as a nuisance legacy issue, often only for dealing with mfa requirements by other apps i haven't sent an "actual" sms message in years
-
trevor devooght (@devtrevjournals) reported@_Stralor @signalapp @doctorow SMS bot exploitation is a real thing. It costs companies trying to run a secure, honest service pretty hefty sums, especially if they’re utilising affordable alternatives that don’t have bells and whistles. Like, say, a nonprofit might.
-
Jacinta Is. (@jarichaust) reported@wint_rmute @signalapp That's a good start. I still think this is a terrible idea.
-
Trev (@realTrevDev) reportedSince @signalapp is dropping SMS support, I am dropping signal. Over the years signal has been a source of hope for Android users. They may as well be just like any other centralized service who says "just trust us, we've got your best interests in mind".
-
🐻❄️Lord Bowelrod PhD (@PuppeteerSock) reported@signalapp every update has a dumber and dumber add on. Stories and chat notifications, a. Dumb drag down, a silly voice call feature. The original format (minus calls) with sms ability was damn near THE PERFECT app imo.
-
Benny (@BennyAitch) reported@signalapp removing SMS support is not going to help privacy when you lose a huge portion of your user base! And your rationale about "hidden costs" is a red herring - people already had those costs. Poor decision.
-
Jasmine Leiva (@jasminaminta) reported@nowherecee @signalapp Oh no, is it going down?
-
Pat Scott (@_Stralor) reported@doctorow @devtrevjournals @signalapp right, they addressed this aspect, which I still argue feels like a rug pull. it's their UX issue to solve, and they've thrown in the towel on it to users' detriment
-
Jonas Widarsson (@J_Widar) reported@badboy_lifetime @signalapp They could have identified users by anything they require to be unique. Phone numbers, while convenient and mappable to existing registries like your phone contacts, make it possible for carriers to turn off your Signal access, even though it's an independent service.
-
𝗱𝗟𝘂𝗻𝗲 (@dlune_) reported@signalapp Ive used your service both for public texts and secure messaging for a good while. In the long run with abandon the service of public texting on your products, is one of the most stupid decision you guys done tbh. You will lose customers in the long run. Its a shame.
