- Check @SignalApp on X for outage announcements — Signal rarely has extended outages.
- Report the outage on this page to help other users confirm the problem.
Common Signal outage causes
Signal outages are rare and typically involve message delivery infrastructure or registration server issues. The decentralized nature of the Signal Protocol means messages are queued and delivered once servers recover.
