The WhatsApp alternative apparently has problems at the moment. Some messages can neither be sent nor received. The problems are apparently with one of the servers, writes the company.
The Mesenger Signal can currently not be used by many users. They cannot receive or send messages. The problem lies in a failure of the hosting server, writes the company on Twitter. Apparently, not all users are affected by the failure.
The only news about the outage so far is a tweet from the company that was sent just after seven in the morning.
In it, the company also promises that it is working to make the service functional again. How long the failure can last and how many users are actually affected is unclear.
In the past few months, Signal has been able to establish itself more and more as an alternative to the Facebook messenger WhatsApp. At the beginning of the year, WhatsApp had annoyed many of its users with the announcement of new terms and conditions. Especially since it was originally threatened that users would lose access to WhatsApp if they did not agree to the new terms and conditions.
After a wave of outrage, WhatsApp postponed the introduction several times and finally silently suspended the requirement for consent. But during this time, millions of customers had already turned to alternative messengers. Telegram received the most support, but Signal is also one of the biggest profiteers.
In contrast to Telegram, which repeatedly attracts attention due to the questionable handling of hate content, Signal is generally considered to be the good alternative so far.
