  • Mina01332693 Mina (@Mina01332693) reported

    @signalapp Why cant we download the app independently without google play / google tracking / privacy and security issues !!

  • Cryptopriesto Crypto Priesto (@Cryptopriesto) reported

    @signalapp Fix your app already

  • Uploadfilter19 Ladre (@Uploadfilter19) reported

    @AhjazKaramat @bencgvideos @signalapp and if the state decides to block such apps, you will have a problem...

  • Khojohazard2020 King_Kong (@Khojohazard2020) reported

    @signalapp Please I've updated my signal app but it's still running slow. Is that a technical issue or maybe Google play store is sabotaging it for me?

  • TheRealJackDMF Jack (@TheRealJackDMF) reported

    @signalapp are you having issues with signup? Just trying to reconnect with my mobile and hanging in the phone number screen since yesterday...

  • Noah_ixsdeh Noah (@Noah_ixsdeh) reported

    @GwynbleiddiuM @signalapp @windscribecom (their twitter says „meme focused“ but if you look into their privacy policy and comparisons with other VPNs it gets clear that they are good. Only real downside is that they‘re based in Canada, but if you‘re not doing anything the FBI doesn‘t like, that shouldn‘t be a problem)

  • zar_nevis zarnevis (@zar_nevis) reported

    @signalapp Unfortunately, severe censorship is rampant in Iran, and Facebook has always supported the Iranian government. There is not much help from the international community to deal with this situation. Thank you for your effort.

  • MisterToyBear Teddy "%@#! twittter & %@#! Jack" Bear (@MisterToyBear) reported

    So, its didnt let me login into my original account, i signed up to @signalapp, if there anybody out there i chat with, who wants to fill out their contact list, pm me.....so we can support privacy in chat. I also like the idea that it will soon offer contact backups.

  • ALTENAIJ قروب الطنيجي (@ALTENAIJ) reported

    @signalapp Voice and video calls are not working .. Please fix the problem

  • Lowpass Ryan King (@Lowpass) reported

    @theyblinked @signalapp I’m worried the people running signal are going to get the app into trouble and cause regulators to try and wreak it. The addition of PINs was already troubling.

  • mamooshi سکینه سه پستون (@mamooshi) reported

    @signalapp Help us. The censorship circumvention feature doesnt work.

  • realcrispm_ Cristian Paz Montelongo (@realcrispm_) reported

    @signalapp do not give up, censorship is the biggest problem of our days

  • Lowpass Ryan King (@Lowpass) reported

    @theyblinked @signalapp I’m actually pretty surprised someone hasn’t built it already. Distributed mesh Twitter. The problem I suspect is there’s not practical way to index it. BitTorrent needs trackers, IP needs DNS, etc. As far as I know nobody has quite cracked that nut. OpenID came close?

  • vtraveller vtraveller (@vtraveller) reported

    Signal (@signalapp) is getting flack for being too private. Bad actors can abuse groups and the potential anonymous payment system. Easily solved: add limits. Why would you want a group bigger than 10 or more than 100$|€|£? Not perfect, but It culls most of the problem.

  • PRIME_LINUX Prime (@PRIME_LINUX) reported

    @signalapp would you help someone who then gets prosecuted for using signal by Iranian regime ...

  • jilliancyork Jillian C. York (she/they) (@jilliancyork) reported

    @georginoten @bencgvideos @signalapp I’m sorry for your losses but tribalism and generalities won’t fix anything

  • rickiceberg Rick🇬🇭😍 (@rickiceberg) reported

    practically @signalapp ends video chat every 2 and half minutes fix it up please!!

  • Lord_friend Friend (@Lord_friend) reported

    @signalapp Hello, signals customer service. Sent verification message doesn't work, we have to wait for 10 min for the second call, the first call doesn't work too.

  • ridelfin Ricardo Delfin (@ridelfin) reported

    @mikealphasierr1 @signalapp It is also worth noting that opening a data centre and an office in every country an online service works in just to comply with useless "I don't want our data to leave our country!" arguments is expensive, useless, and no one (not even FB or Google) does this

  • real_aghasee aghasee Gab/Parler: @aghasee (@real_aghasee) reported

    @signalapp : fix the notifications on Android. App is next to useless without notifications.

  • MattSchnierle Matt Schnierle (@MattSchnierle) reported

    @signalapp Again, love you guys. Give money. The whole thing. When you achieve WhatsApp levels of reliability, then you can dunk. This premise only holds if the service is available to the most informed data protection folks. Ahem.

  • tkretek Tomasz Kretek (@tkretek) reported

    @signalapp Please never stop in your efforts to make this Internet a better place! I'll think of ways I could help. Probably this will require a way to handle misuse, but not literally. Think like we handle misuse of a knife. Not banning it's sales. It also helps to feed & defend families!

  • MattRixman Matt Rixman (@MattRixman) reported

    @artium_x @signalapp Most of us in the US are ashamed that our government did those things. There are better ways to oppose injustice, but if making it unclear where to put the bombs means that the bombs don't get dropped then its worth doing. Signal is only trying to help.

  • CrosbieLiz Liz Crosbie 🕯#RebootGB #FBPE (@CrosbieLiz) reported

    @pledgeforeurope @signalapp I ended up uninstalling it and starting again. Lost some unopened messages but seems now to work. Fingers crossed it is now operational. I don't recall ever being asked for a passphrase hence the problems.

  • _GaneshPandey Ganesh Pandey👨‍💻☕️ (@_GaneshPandey) reported

    @Yaronbern @signalapp Not working. 😢

  • jilliancyork Jillian C. York (she/they) (@jilliancyork) reported

    @georginoten @bencgvideos @signalapp You assume I’m ignorant because I’m defending ordinary citizens. Dude, get help.

  • ehsaliot eliot (@ehsaliot) reported

    @k2salimi @FardinnFahad @signalapp Shut up please 👌 I'm iranian 🇮🇷 I didn't have or see this problem that you are talking about, How long do you want to lie?

  • WilfredSimonJr Fred (@WilfredSimonJr) reported

    @TelvSnr @signalapp need to do better! Fix this.

  • georginoten -.. .. . (@georginoten) reported

    @jilliancyork @bencgvideos @signalapp Nor will ignorance over a certain group of people fix anything, in a state where Iran is, it is expected for terror to come out from some citizens. the same can be said for most countries in the middle east, this is the reason why you can't compare Iranian citizens to Americans.

  • jahidulahmed jahidul ahmed (@jahidulahmed) reported

    @signalapp Why sharing image video is so time consuming?? Either u fix or we leave signal???
