Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • TheOstborg TheRealKing (@TheOstborg) reported

    @wire for the 100th time. Whu share with iOS to make the call screen work properly on the phone? You are giving away my metadata to Apple!! Why?? The @signalapp don't have this issue!!

  • NKScientists North Korean Scientists (@NKScientists) reported

    @signalapp Give them a time, use Telegram as a second service, they will be back soon. It is like empty supermarket during panic buying, they are restocking, but are unable to make it quick enough :)

  • scharlakenlied Selma (@scharlakenlied) reported

    @signalapp @LA_Devotweet Still not working.

  • DavenMauff Daven Mauff (@DavenMauff) reported

    @signalapp Really love the minimalistic feel, but prolly will move to @telegram if this can't be a stable service

  • stoopnik Tom Lowenstein (@stoopnik) reported

    @jamie_jhnstn @signalapp Already had Signal and have moved a bunch of WhatsApp groups there now so will give them time to fix it, otherwise yeah...

  • twelvefloz Laxman (@twelvefloz) reported

    @signalapp the server being down is gonna cause some major damage....

  • roygrubb Roy Grubb (@roygrubb) reported

    @signalapp is down again ☹

  • cccAlpEren1 🇹🇷🇦🇿NuBuğ🇦🇿🇹🇷 (@cccAlpEren1) reported

    @signalapp Trying my best to migrate friends and family to Signal from whatsapp. But that shall only last if such issues in the initial days doesnt happen.... Going all in on you @signalapp... Do not let me down

  • KingSalibah Jimmy Salibah (@KingSalibah) reported

    @signalapp Funnily, I hear some people have problems with their iPhone, but not Android.

  • jorgecondutor Jorge Oliveira (@jorgecondutor) reported

    @signalapp Signal ate 400MB mobile data during the night doing nothing due to the outage :/

  • karim_dorzadeh Karim Dorzadeh (@karim_dorzadeh) reported

    @_atjn @Snowden @signalapp Well, I read the article. All of it was just assumption of possible vulnerabilities, or issue of trust. It doesn't mention that It's protocol or encryption is compromised. It doesn't mention that Telegram Secret Chats are vulnerable. That tells a lot.

  • incognito_doc Caffeinoholic 👨‍⚕️☕ (@incognito_doc) reported

    @signalapp why am not getting activation code? Server problem??

  • SalimAshraf1 Salim Ashraf 🇵🇰 🇦🇪 (@SalimAshraf1) reported

    @signalapp I have installed the App yesterday but failed to complete the phone verification process. I am surprised as to what the standard of services would be in the future in context of current outage. Is @WhatsApp still a right choice?

  • karim_dorzadeh Karim Dorzadeh (@karim_dorzadeh) reported

    @_atjn @Snowden @signalapp I am not denying that the cloud chats are technically possible to be accessed by senior staffs at Telegram. So there is this issue of trust, rather than what these security analysts are putting axe on Telegram's growth To me TGs track record proves to be worthy of putting trust

  • podperson Tonio Loewald — Impatiently waiting for 46 (@podperson) reported

    @signalapp Anyway. Remember how TOR was created by the *US navy* to help foreign freedom movements communicate safely and secretly (they said)? How Bitcoin was developed by ??? as anonymous virtual cash. Both immediately became the tools of criminals.

  • _atjn Anton (@_atjn) reported

    @karim_dorzadeh @Snowden @signalapp No one is claiming that the E2E protocol is insecure, the problem is that it is only used selectively. Telegram has access to all of your contacts and access to all your normal chats and group chats. How is that not a security issue?

  • mksgraz Michael K. Schmid (@mksgraz) reported

    @signalapp The App is working properly (it seems) but I still have the red message in the display header RE technical problems. Do you have a hint how to remove? App & evan phone have been restarted several times

  • mlusetti Massimo Lusetti (@mlusetti) reported

    @lattera @signalapp Then they probably would be partially down

  • ungermatt Matthew Unger (@ungermatt) reported

    @mattdlockyer @signalapp Yeah that was bad timing for them to go down. Lots of communities looking for a new home and testing telegram, signal, and slack

  • Niki47296062 Emma (@Niki47296062) reported

    @signalapp Not working 😔

  • adomjan Alexis Domjan (@adomjan) reported

    @AravindhStanley @signalapp Same issue here. However my wife who just installed can see my messages and respond, But I can't see her answers... Let's wait some time. @signalapp is scaling up their infrastructure, which is not an easy task, obviously :-)

  • 3000000Eeh @3000 (@3000000Eeh) reported

    @signalapp The problem is still going on. You will lose many members, and the return of migration to WhatsApp will be specific to several waiver of the condition of deleting the account. Please solve the problem quickly

  • ClementineCon20 AH (@ClementineCon20) reported

    @signalapp That's it I'm afraid, this outage has been 16 hours? I'm going to another App. Bye bye.

  • tprstly Theo Priestley (@tprstly) reported

    @WylesOne @signalapp True, but under these conditions when you're trying to convince friends and family to move, and you need to stay in touch with them easily this doesn't help.

  • mitanshu mitanshu (@mitanshu) reported

    @signalapp Repeatedly getting "bad encrypted message" from a single contact. Any way to stop that notification while you resolve technical issues and add extra capacity? 🔕

  • imRabbillGani Rabbill Gani (@imRabbillGani) reported

    @signalapp It can happen, suddenly way too much customers using it will bring up lot of bugs within system.. hoping to fix it As soon as possible.. good luck to @signalapp team

  • Nettack Tobias Wozniak (@Nettack) reported

    @dmitry_says @ashtonpittman @signalapp There is no tradeoff. If you would start weakening encryption other regimes would hunt down activists for human rights. You can't demand that, just because you think your principles are worth more than Putin's.

  • LawMic1997 LawMic 😷 (@LawMic1997) reported

    @signalapp Support #Signal, we will and are willing to wait patiently for a better service that cherishes privacy above money.

  • MuizzuMuhammad Muhammad Muizzuddin (@MuizzuMuhammad) reported

    @signalapp I'm unable to register۔۔ Could you please help me out

  • whatsabschalten 🇩🇪 WhatsAbschalten #TeamSignal (@whatsabschalten) reported

    @plookit @signalapp Why is this embarrassing? More and more people want to talk securely and privately and are no longer interested in #WhatsApp and #Facebook. This can lead to minor problems. This is a sign that we are on the right track! #SignalApp
