    @signalapp Since yesterday, I can’t use Signal on my iPhone 13 Pro anymore. Every time I open the app it automatically closes after some seconds. Furthermore, I can’t receive new messages. On my Mac app, however, everything works. Restarted all devices already. Pls help 🙏

  • ReanimationXP ReanimationXP 🅛 (95%) 🔜 TBD【=◈︿◈=】█▓▒░ (@ReanimationXP) reported

    @drwolfff @hacks4pancakes @signalapp The privacy issue might be the information that you use the app at all, not just that it's aware of your contact list.

  • theKeynode K e n Y o d e #vintagegod (@theKeynode) reported

    Hi @signalapp, I'm unable to receive verification codes via my mobile number, contacted my network provider and no help from that side as well. Are there other ways users could receive verification codes asides via SMS or calls? What about emails, etc? I've been locked out!!

  • itstimetoawake two moon (@itstimetoawake) reported

    @signalapp @RaminA1A Same issues here , trying to send photo to fd but keep kicking me out why , using iPhone

  • thlosh Thlosh (@thlosh) reported

    @eyefnwin_RG @signalapp I don't see a problem here, because via DM I was just asked to use the support function within the app, which I did. And regarding the push notifications: as I understand it, they are already working on this problem. I personally hope for a solution in one of the next versions.

  • DavidChoiMusic David (@DavidChoiMusic) reported

    @signalapp very big bug...can't get past "Transfer Account & Messages" screen and gives verification code error when it's the right code

  • chronohart Chrono Hart (@chronohart) reported

    @signalapp Note: I understand there is a setting to disable the notification, but it's enabled by default and it only disables incoming, not outgoing. Doesn't solve the privacy issue either way.

  • naresnyan nanananadja (@naresnyan) reported

    @signalapp hey signal, are you down? is your support down? is there a way to reach somebody??

  • koobs Kubilay Kocak (@koobs) reported

    @mostly_bsd @signalapp @FreeBSDHelp That specific config doesn’t (they are for in jail port bulding commands). I don’t know how far you can get for poudriere root. At least jail creation needs root, but I’ve never tried. See how far you get? Also you can jail poudriere, which might help?

  • bellja747 ¢k₹¥₱t∅ (@bellja747) reported

    @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Long time Signal user and advocate here; yeah I agree it's a problem. I propose they set up an ignore tag that can remove individual entries from contacts during sync, and simultaneously hide your own number from that same contact. I'm not an experienced coder though.

  • kamerk22 Kashyap Merai (@kamerk22) reported

    10/ Use encrypted messaging apps 💬 Use a secure, end-to-end encrypted messaging service. End-to-end encryption ensures that only you and your intended recipient can view messages. Use #iMessage and @signalapp

  • dorota0989 Dorota (@dorota0989) reported

    @signalapp i’ve recently noticed that I can’t reply to messages ride from the notification/action sander in Windows 10 and 11, using Signal desktop could you please fix this? It would be easier to reply from a notification center in windows, thank you.

  • drwolfff drwolf.crypto ⚡️ (@drwolfff) reported

    @hacks4pancakes @signalapp I respectfully disagree that notifications are a privacy issue because you can see all of your contacts in the app anyway. However, if you said linking signal to a phone number is a privacy issue I would agree 100%.

  • CD_R0M_ CD-R0M 🇺🇦 (@CD_R0M_) reported

    @bohops @hacks4pancakes @signalapp Oh wow, that's terrible. I'm sorry to hear that.

  • bastianventhur Bastian Venthur (@bastianventhur) reported

    Using bots that automatically close "stale" issues or bug reports in your project is borderline disrespectful to your contributors. Either make a conscious decision to close the issue manually or leave it open so someone may come up with more info. I'm looking a t you @signalapp

  • dorota0989 Dorota (@dorota0989) reported

    @signalapp Could you please fix one bag of that I’ve reported to you many times? Voice messages disappear after 6 days, I can’t play them, they seem to be there, but I can’t play them, always after si6 days after receiving or sending them. Thank you.

  • BreakItUp3 Break Up DC (@BreakItUp3) reported

    @signalapp i use signal on android for SMS My wife used signal and reverted back to imessage for Iphone. Everyone on earth gets my sms except her... whats the issue?

  • crypto_alakazam crypto_alakazam (@crypto_alakazam) reported

    @NikoJilch To disunite Europeans 🇺🇦🤡💉 @signalapp is an alternative (private) messaging service to #WhatsApp🤮. But it is not a panacea for communication either. After all, it's a company.

  • otokoshiro OtokoShiro (@otokoshiro) reported

    Hey @signalapp I read there could be a URI spoofing flaw. What are you doing to fix it?

  • borolopezphoto Bᴏʀᴏ Lᴏᴘᴇᴢ (@borolopezphoto) reported

    @moxie @signalapp It’s 2 of April. Where’s the new CEO? What about the new features and fixes for old bugs? Please do not forget about the users. Some Android devices still having problems with wake notifications even after blocking battery optimisations. #WEB3 is jmportant but maintenance is more

  • alienghic alienghic@octodon.social (@alienghic) reported

    @AlecMuffett @signalapp Yes XMPP's spam problems are more manageable because it's not all that popular, and it would probably be better for everyone if big commercial services didn't fully open. But XMPP does show that it's certainly possible to add new features to a federated system.

  • BFSingh Brian F. Singh (@BFSingh) reported

    You know one problem with the internet? Too many tech bros. Only tech bros can find it acceptable that gay men are bombarded with female porn bots on @instagram and similar engagement platforms. @signalapp is now becoming a sewer for this too.

  • FlamityYT Flamity (@FlamityYT) reported

    @signalapp The app has been crashing on my iPhone XS immediately on startup for days now after updating! I sent my crash log to your support email but it seems lots of people are having this issue. I myself have experienced this twice now. Will this be a reoccurring issue? 😓

  • RaymondDurk Raymond Durk (@RaymondDurk) reported

    @JeremyRubin @signalapp @moxie Snapchat has a similar issue. Some of my friends have asked why I fall out of contact with them and don't engage as much and it's because their face disappears below the fold and I don't scroll down unless I need that person. It's my lazy version of the Myspace Top 8.

  • loisroseanne_ Lois (@loisroseanne_) reported

    @whatsabschalten @signalapp my issue is I don't want to block them indefinitely. Will they still disappear from my contact list if I block and then unblock them?

  • lmarino Lori Marino (@lmarino) reported

    @signalapp I manage a large Signal group and many users are experiencing repeated Captcha verification requests. Is this a known issue?

  • CryptoReplaX ᚱᛅᛒᛚᛅᚴᛋ᛫฿ (@CryptoReplaX) reported

    @sethforprivacy @ThreemaApp @signalapp any plans to also build your own push notification service?
