Users took to social media on Friday evening to report issues with the app. Many users were able to log in or connect to the app.
Signal acknowledged the issue on Twitter stating that the platform was facing certain “technical difficulties.”
“Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible,” Signal said in a tweet at 10:03 pm IST on Friday.
