Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • PeaceAlgorithm Grand Nagus Nog (@PeaceAlgorithm) reported

    @chazchaz102 @signalapp And then complain to me their phone must be broken now because they can't send me videos anymore.

  • DanielMicay Daniel Micay (@DanielMicay) reported

    @drwilco @thingskatedid @signalapp SMS via IMS / SIP pretty much always works but VoLTE has a lot of phone and carrier compatibility issues so a lot of people are going to lose the ability to make traditional phone calls once 3G is gone (VoLTE also includes calls over 5G although they rebranded it officially).

  • CMYKarate Fill Hellmouth (@CMYKarate) reported

    @signalapp Signal was my primary messaging app. I picked up an iphone because of availability issues for other options and 100% of the reason that I am switching back was that you can't use just signal on their platforms.

  • allartburns jet yes *that* jet (@allartburns) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp My wife is having this problem on her iPhone, I'm seeing no problems on my Pixel 5.

  • h110hawk Kelly Kane (@h110hawk) reported

    @signalapp This is a terrible decision which needs to be backpedaled. The whole reason I use signal is the single interface. No RCS until there is an API sounds like a feature not a bug.

  • chuckfrain Chuck Frain (@chuckfrain) reported

    @signalapp So you’re not going to fix the group messaging problem between iOS and Android users within Signal now i guess. I’d hate to think this probem was too much to fix and is causing you to abandon SMS.

  • positronrelay The ***** King of Angmar (Katie) (@positronrelay) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp Pixel 6a, and no such issues on my end.

  • nananikinas Nananikinas (@nananikinas) reported

    @signalapp I’m soo for this if it also means removing the phone number requirement for using the service. Cause privacy right?

  • ScottEvtuch Scott Evtuch (@ScottEvtuch) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp I have battery optimization turned off for Signal on my Pixel 5 and haven't noticed any issues with notifications. I always turn off battery optimization on any app I use for messaging/alerts.

  • Legion303 Steve 🌻🦇🕷️fuck you, pig🕷️🦇🌻 Pordon (@Legion303) reported

    @signalapp The other use case you are making more difficult, which I haven't seen mentioned yet, is chaff. I don't use E2E encryption for truly sensitive comms because there's no way I can effectively control both ends. I use encrypted comms to help people who have no other choice.

  • blenster Blenster (@blenster) reported

    @deviantollam @signalapp I've had issues when using Bluetooth headphones but it's been okay otherwise.

  • lippard Jim Lippard (@lippard) reported

    @LitMoose @signalapp I used to, but just gave it up recently because Google's does better for spam filtering, and I had had some issues with Signal not working just before the Twilio breach. I'd rather keep a clearer distinction between what's via Signal and what's via SMS.

  • jdcguy JC (@jdcguy) reported

    @signalapp removing SMS support from Signal for Android is a terrible idea, yes I read the blog post, yes I understand the arguments. I convinced many people less technically versed to install it because it served as their default SMS app. You will lose many users over this

  • darkglde Darkglade (@darkglde) reported

    @signalapp This is a ******* TERRIBLE move, as others have noted, the reason I've been able to get a lot of people to switch to Signal is the fact that it's a one-stop-shop, they don't HAVE to use two different apps to message people depending on what they have. They'll just go back to SMS

  • OldMrCB Will (@OldMrCB) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp Removing SMS is hands down a bad idea. This will directly cause users to stop supporting you and switch to another option.
