Signal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • curtainqueen Margaret H ✂️ (@curtainqueen) reported

    Anyone else having problems with @signalapp messages not showing up until LONG after they've been sent? An [important] message that was sent yesterday afternoon at 15:24 only turned up on my phone sometime overnight. Not ideal.

  • Mike965x Mike965 (@Mike965x) reported

    @signalapp hey folks, tonight Signal automatically created a group with a bunch of unknown numbers (not in my contacts) and spammed them. Help!

  • pcfascist pcfascist (@pcfascist) reported

    @signalapp Service outage? The desktop client seems to be failing on connect.

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @Thematizer @moxie @signalapp The identity keys and thus SN changes when the user does not migrate them to a new device. Signal can't mandate that because the old device might be lost/broken. But Signal should support migration to reduce hassle of verifying hundreds of keys every time OS is reinstalled etc.

  • BrianDa98639536 Your Name Here... (@BrianDa98639536) reported

    @signalapp yet just try to get in touch with Facebook for help or support. ....Turns out you can't.

  • mattscottcrum Matt Scott Crum (@mattscottcrum) reported

    @jack @JesseDorogusker @signalapp used to support encrypted SMS and there were some issues, but if you are controlling the hardware, there may be some good ways to handle this in a more trustless way. To be able to do something like Lightning payments safely w/o internet would be so cool.

  • poopsockos poopsock (@poopsockos) reported

    @signalapp signal is down on mobile

  • Eudaemonius Eudaemonius (@Eudaemonius) reported

    @signalapp What did you do? Update Crash Hell! Database startup error: Error: SqliteError: attempt to write a readonly database at Database.exec ([REDACTED].unpacked\ts\sql\mainWorker.bundle.js:697:14) at [REDACTED].unpacked\ts\sql\mainWorker.bundle.js:25011:12 at s

  • KrisGaisford Kris Gaisford (@KrisGaisford) reported

    People are leaving security to big companies. Even @awscloud says that their only responsible for their half of the security. While I believe companies should be more security focused and lock everything down to be anonymous. You can't count on it. @MySudoApp @signalapp

  • m4xx3d0ut m4xx3d (@m4xx3d0ut) reported

    @signalapp having an issue getting Signal to register on new phone with same SIM card as prior. Could I get a DM please?

  • theJawahar Jawahar M (@theJawahar) reported

    @signalapp On video call battery sucks faster and gets heated, not faced with other apps as much as signal. Fix

  • leolelego Léo 🦧 (@leolelego) reported

    @davydunz @wongmjane @signalapp You can follow all of this on the community forum. Send money (crypto) is in testing in 🇬🇧. No need email. I agree for the phone number but as today they try to fight against WhatsApp, so it keep the same way to login, that’s not a priority for Mr Everyone I suppose.

  • rerevues Brooklyn Properties (@rerevues) reported

    @gordwait @signalapp Same thing happen to me. No issues with Signal to Signal, but sms were not delivered.

  • Commenter25 Commenter (@Commenter25) reported

    @pyrrhl glad its not just me. i updated thinking "AWESOME MORE COLORS TO PICK FROM :DD" and then i see that my bubbles are colored now? even though it was never like that in the past?? and it makes no sense to color my own messages on an individual basis??? 😒 @signalapp plz fix

  • theJawahar Jawahar M (@theJawahar) reported

    @signalapp Hey I am not getting notification when someone msg me. Same to them when I msg. Help.

  • pyrrhl pyrrh: high emprex of excessive *** commits ♿ (@pyrrhl) reported

    @ComradeEevee @signalapp FYI that you can find install files for 5.3.0 but if you install it with 5.4.0 it throws major errors from trying to open an older version, so you have to do a full uninstall & then reinstall.

  • mendax6661 mendax6661 (@mendax6661) reported

    am switching from @signalapp to #synod.im a service brought to us by @lukiev #matrix #instantmessenger

  • fr4nnie_EU Francesca (@fr4nnie_EU) reported

    @signalapp I'd like to be able to block all incoming messages/calls from those not in my contact list. It's a simple solution to issues my family are having.

  • AwfulyPrideful Mal - Looking for Work (@AwfulyPrideful) reported

    @signalapp @signalapp I can only assume this update is a mistake because I cannot see a user-friendly justification for flipping the colored chat bubbles this way. So the sooner you could fix it, that'd be wonderful. Thanks. Hopefully today?

  • markus_ottela maqp (@markus_ottela) reported

    @Thematizer @moxie @signalapp The problem is trying to explain unintended safety number changes imply complex cryptographic attack such as MITM will drive away a lot of the users. Those who know they need protection from MITM attacks, know what the keys are about. The rest get opportunistic E2EE.

  • RealSexyCyborg Naomi Wu 机械妖姬 (@RealSexyCyborg) reported

    @RebornWhs @signalapp @EFF keeps doubling down supporting the person instead of just the protocol, that's a mistake. The protocol is solid, but it's being managed by a person who treats vulnerability disclosures as a personal attack. That's repeatedly endangered people and made the software less safe.

  • shawninqueens Shawn (@shawninqueens) reported

    @signalapp @Snowden com fix this

  • comegetsomedave be a dope and lay in the street (@comegetsomedave) reported

    @Riot_Muffin @signalapp RIGHT. They get me every single time. I'm always like "oh finally, my Many Issues will be resolved" but there's hardly ever a noticable change. Granted, I'm sure there's a boring explanation, but it seems like it's intentionally letting me down every time.

  • sallchad Chad (@sallchad) reported

    If @signalapp happens to know anyone at AT&T who can stop blocking signal, that'd be great. Works on 5 other network providers. Is down for ATT Uverse customers, as if a bad route or intentional drop is in place

  • MaazJitsu MaazJitsu (@MaazJitsu) reported

    @signalapp is signal down?

  • anatolyivanov Anatoly IVANOV・🇫🇷🇨🇭🇷🇺・ (@anatolyivanov) reported

    OK, so, I’m really over the edge… is there a way to continually keep an Electron version of @SignalApp linked ”to your mobile device” for more than like 2 WEEKS AT A TIME?! 🤯 I mean, hello? I very much admire the #encryption and OSS aspects… but the #UX kills me. Help!

  • McDonald_Kevin Kevin McDonald (@McDonald_Kevin) reported

    @signalapp Why can't I receive SMS OTP login codes from my bank or some retailers? But I do get the codes if I enable my stock messages app.

  • OmarSharrif1 Omar Sharrif (@OmarSharrif1) reported

    @signalapp I cannot make voice calls by signal. How can I fix this? It only says connect and the recipient only says that he missed a call

  • Samo26062916 Samo (@Samo26062916) reported

    @raumatiboy @engadget @signalapp Yeah man I can understand had the same problem with my mom but when I kept telling her WhatsApp was bad and Facebook overall she switched

  • richardbensberg Richard Bensberg (@richardbensberg) reported

    .@signalapp your SMS and/or voice service cannot get through to my mobile device. Why cant I verify my existing account through an in-app msg?
