Signal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
BrendanEich (@BrendanEich) reported@NivalCat @signalapp Signal has always (since TextSecure) used phone number as primary user identifier — that’s not the issue.
-
Sooraj (@iAnonymous3000) reportedI use and recommend @signalapp - solid choice. But Signal still requires a phone number, which I don’t like. @SimpleXChat needs nothing. Signal’s infrastructure is also centralized, meaning one entity controls the network. SimpleX doesn’t have that problem. I would also add verifiability as a criteria. As independent researchers, we shouldn’t take privacy claims at face value. Open source code, reproducible builds, and third-party audit reports are the minimum. If you can’t verify it, you can’t trust it.

ARQ (@ARQ1481987) reported@chat If this meant to compete with @signalapp the open-source the whole thing; otherwise it’s hard to the see the point… can you help us to see the point?

Rash1825 (@darksaviortweet) reported@signalapp Signal backup change is terrible UX. Thousands of small files instead of one backup = extremely slow transfers. 10GB taking 24+ hours to copy. Faster backup creation but unusable for migration. Please fix this or restore single-file backups.
-
Sakshi Mehta (@Sakshimehta7) reported@signalapp when we use signal call and along with we use Spotify then why we are not able to play and pause song with handsfrees plz check and solve this problem because in snapchat it is not creating this problem,only signal app is creating kindly improve

Bogdan Popa 🇪🇺 (@BogdanMPopa) reported@ProtonPrivacy My main issue with @signalapp is I cannot use the same account on more than one smartphone
-
Sa'id al Athari (@SaidAlAthari) reported@_AbuMuhammad_ @signalapp Terrible advice
-
Sami Lehtinen (@Sami_Lehtinen) reported@signalapp Every time I open a specific chat the whole app hangs and crashes. Any word on a fix? #SignalBug #AppCrash
-
Foxy⚔️ (@Dancinfoxy) reported@signalapp Is it just to remain connected while 80 million Iranians are silenced? Please help them, however you can. #DigitalBlackOutIran #D2C4Iran

mon(k)ey (@schwabbler) reported@CisoDiagonal @signalapp Don‘t think so, had that problem a year ago every time I wanted to use signal. Just ignored it and now we here

miguel (@Miguelwtfzu) reported@vonderburchard @signalapp Layer 8 problem
-
जनित्र (@by_inkriya) reported@signalapp hello there, do you know if anyone with Indonesian phone number (+62 code) having trouble installing your app? We suspect that our provider somehow blocking your verification message, some friends got registration problem and can not continue the installing process.
-
Biddaddy (@biddaddy_lc) reported@signalapp @404mediaco lowkey wild that it took a leak for this fix
-
PiX (@pa1nark) reported@akashtiwari1007 @signalapp yup, every time i give a visit to reliance to buy something, they straight up ask for phone number and i reject it. they do try to fear monger stating i will not be able to to get refund or exchange if things go wrong (they did this to me for vegetables, not kidding). the list is long. i stopped using swiggy and zomato long back (tried once or twice back in 2021 or something and never again). i know, some of the people may find it weird, old school, but hey, to me, it is fun that way. apps like tata neu, blinkit and etc., i have never used! i tried porter only twice, horrible service (see my old tweets if interested - they just lie on face).

Tom🌶\(^-^)/🌶 infosec.exchange/@tomlawrence (@TomLawrenceTech) reported@NetworkChuck @WhatsApp If you want to stay as secure as possible, you don't use WhatsApp. @signalapp is a far better alternative and is not run by a company with a terrible track record violating privacy laws and spying on people.
