    .@signalapp @mer__edith No, paying or this app will be a fine way to draw usage down so that it will ultimately be bought by AOL... if you know what I mean. You're going to have to think wider and understand how backwards is never forwards, and that customers/users know that.

  • mueenulit Mueenul Islam Talha (@mueenulit) reported

    @mer__edith @signalapp Request: Help us to get rid of Signal’s reliance on SGX

    trying to nuke my @signalapp account and getting an error-response in return is f*cking worrying if this were an sensitive account. What's going on there guys???

  • djcontrebass Taylor Riley (@djcontrebass) reported from San Antonio, Texas

    @MABrownJr @lockheimer @signalapp The elitism from certain sets of iPhone users certainly does not help.

  • ManuelVonau Manuel Vonau (@ManuelVonau) reported

    @BucketheadTK421 @AndroidPolice @signalapp Oh, Telegram/Signal are a much smaller piece of the cake than WhatsApp here, too. People who use Telegram/Signal also have WhatsApp so they can talk to everyone they want to talk to. A few of my friends even use iMessage, but don't make it an issue and use WA for Android friends

  • mopleen Alex Mopleen (@mopleen) reported

    @signalapp Both iPhones on latest iOS and Signal. One sends super high quality photos and videos. The other compresses heavily. "Sent Media Quality" set to High. Please help?

  • __muratkurt__ Murat Kurt (@__muratkurt__) reported

    @signalapp I am having issues with my phone and I did a factory reset without backing up my messages. Now I have messages on my computer only. Is there a way to transfer them back to my phone? I lost years of messages on the phone.

  • wtfbubble Potato (@wtfbubble) reported

    @GeekIWG @AndroidAuth @signalapp Exactly 💯 just use a messenger service stop harassing apple when there are alternatives. Heck I use Android and I don't even find RCS reliable.

  • dreamer_sharad sharad (@dreamer_sharad) reported

    @bsng_s @signalapp Agreed! Tried many time.. always some issue.

  • fluepke @fluepke@chaos.social (@fluepke) reported from Elsterwerda-Biehla, Brandenburg

    @xyahe @signalapp So, I guess the process is stuck and broken 🙄 PSA: Use one of the better messengers in the mean time for texting me.

  • Seliene_ Seliene (@Seliene_) reported

    @backdoorcreep @mer__edith @signalapp No, Signal wasn’t hacked it was an external service company Signal uses for verification.

  • italoceco Aaron (@italoceco) reported

    @paravertudo @signalapp Thats mostly an Android problem. Check your battery saving options for the apps and make sure Android is not killing Signal in background. :)

  • ChuckMcCueFL Chuck McCue 🇺🇲 (@ChuckMcCueFL) reported from Neptune Beach, Florida

    @elonmusk @signalapp Signal is not working, I'm getting texts a day late.

  • simonrotach Simon Rotach (@simonrotach) reported

    @mattchewone @signalapp Definitely not a feature, definitely a bug ;) And it's not the only app that is facing this issue. @signalapp please fix this asap, my eyes hurt ;)

  • derekmorr Derek Morr (@derekmorr) reported

    @Eterno48849335 @signalapp @mer__edith Why? How does asking people to voluntarily donate pose a problem?

  • davidguitard David Guitard (@davidguitard) reported

    @signalapp @mer__edith I am use Telegram and good speed server. Let forget about WhatsApp and Backup Cloud. I know Signal is very encrypt for MobileCoin. I still use Telegram TON (Telegram Open Network) pretty speed. I wish Signal fix the performance issue.

  • nandorocker Nando Rossi 🇺🇦 (@nandorocker) reported

    Having lots of @signalapp issues since iOS 16, crashes when browsing the gallery, keyboard not appearing…

  • BombeDeChaton Katharine (@BombeDeChaton) reported

    @signalapp Hi, I am finding that a lot of my messages aren't coming through - usually one of log in codes to access personal accounts, is this a known glitch I can fix by updating?

  • HeavyPackets sabree λ ☕ → 🥓 → 👨🏿‍💻 (@HeavyPackets) reported

    @signalapp's multi-device usability story with pin enabled is atrocious, and I'm contemplating giving up completely. Less important pain point, my contributor badges have been broken across devices for months. Sad.

  • mentallytrill3 Pillar of my Community 🙌🏽 (@mentallytrill3) reported

    Use Signal and you will never have to worry about your phone being tapped again. I don’t see the issue. @signalapp

  • Ganainm1916 Gan Ainm (@Ganainm1916) reported

    @signalapp Voice messages broken and had to disable Face ID because it’s painfully slow and just buggy now. #iOS16

  • PeterASilva1 Peter A Silva (@PeterASilva1) reported

    @twinfolktech @signalapp I have a friend who works for meta and he is a experience cyber security worker in terms of hacked, locked, banned, suspended account try him #Coder_cybertech44 on Instagram he can help you retrieve back your account within few minutes

  • Echephyle Echephyle (@Echephyle) reported

    @signalapp Big bug found. The .png file cannot be read after transfer via Signal. it will automatically modify the original file to a .jpg file and reduce the quality. it's impossible to read the modified file. It all became blurred. Please fix the bug.

  • webRat Todd Rafferty (@webRat) reported

    @blainsmith @bdowns328 @signalapp They are using a service, just respond "stop" and you'll unsubscribe. You will have to block the numbers. My Pixel 6 already flags these as spam before I even see them.

  • amirmahdifard amir mahdi (@amirmahdifard) reported

    @signalapp whel signal, the best messager, then how much did i sent signal's accessibility bugs? throo email and they didn't fix any of them? y the blind is left and doesn't matter for anyone? please fix the accessibility so we also can enjoy it. #accessibility

  • 1000camels Darxy Christ (@1000camels) reported

    @signalapp I keep trying to download Signal for Desktop for mac and when I try to open it, i get “Signal” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash. Can you help?

  • ChuckMcCueFL Chuck McCue 🇺🇲 (@ChuckMcCueFL) reported from Neptune Beach, Florida

    @signalapp Not working well, texts coming in a day late.

  • czech_mex_ Andrew Herrera (@czech_mex_) reported

    The trouble with @signalapp is the people who dl it but don't use it. You never know if a new person you message just isn't going to see it for months. That's the reason I had to remove it as my default messaging app. Miles better than any other messaging platform otherwise.

  • douzeprod 212 (@douzeprod) reported

    @signalapp the send to a contact action in Shortcuts still doesn’t work on iOS 16. Any plans to fix that?

  • F_ALSADI9 🅵_🅰🅻🆂🅰🅳🅸9 (@F_ALSADI9) reported

    @signalapp Why is the app not working in Oman
