from the ask-hn dept.

Can't send/receive any messages through wifi or 4g, in EU. Also others it seems: https://redlib.perennialte.ch/r/signal/comments/1obdkwq/unable_to_connect/

These status pages... I guess they are just to tell us that the company is aware of issues, or perhaps not even that: At least one person has, amid the chaos, remembered to the status update page. I have yet to such a status page actually tell me it's not me. Why not automate this?

Also, the Signal desktop app reports that my internet connection is down. As in: We cannot fathom anything also being the issue :)

It is for me (in the Netherlands), Signal desktop tells me to check my internet connection.

Same here with a Japanese ISP. Is this related to the AWS outage?
