Users can't send or receive messages.

On August 9, 2024, users across Russia encountered problems in the operation of the popular Signal messenger. Users can't send or receive messages, and some can't log in to the app at all.

According to the service data, it failed.By the way, the number of complaints about Signal's work increased sharply this morning.

Most complaints are received from Moscow (47%) and St. Petersburg (10%). There are also problems in the Krasnodar Territory, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod and other regions of Russia.

Users report various problems. Many people can't send or receive messages, and some can't log in or get a confirmation code. Interestingly, some people use Signal via a VPN, but without it, access to the messenger is completely blocked.

Social networks report that the "Bypass censorship" feature is available in the Signal app. It is designed so that users can continue to use the messenger if it is blocked by providers. According to reviews on the web, this option does not help everyone. To activate it, go to "Settings" - "Privacy" - "Advanced" and select "Bypass censorship".

The reasons for the crash are still unknown.
