Is Signal down right now?

No. Our checks are finding no problems with Signal right now. That verdict is live, and the banner at the top of this page carries it too. We re-check Signal continuously using its official status feed, direct network probes and reports from visitors, stopping at the first check that gives a clear answer, and the page updates itself as soon as anything changes. A green verdict does not rule out a fault affecting only some users or regions.

The problems visitors report most often on this page are messages not sending, calls dropping, can't log in, can't connect, files won't sync, no notifications, voice / video chat and website / app down. Those are the options the report button offers for Signal, chosen for how this service actually fails rather than a generic list, and the "user reports" chart above breaks down which ones people are picking right now.

Our checks run from one place on the internet, so a fault limited to your region or network can be real while our probes succeed. With Signal specifically, Signal's message delivery depends on your carrier's data connection, your device's local storage, and the Signal servers' ability to route to your recipient's device. A broken connection to Signal's servers, a full local database, or network routing issues on either end can all fail independently. That is why this page reports what it observed rather than declaring the service healthy, and why reports from other visitors count toward the verdict.

For Signal, try sending a test message to yourself or a contact you know is online, and check whether it shows as delivered in the app's message status indicator. A problem that follows you across networks and devices is very unlikely to be yours.

If this page shows evidence of problems, the fault is most likely on Signal's side. Specifically: do not repeatedly resend the same message, as this can cause duplicates when service restores. Avoid uninstalling and reinstalling the app, as this may delete your local message history permanently. Reporting it here helps other people see they are not alone.

Continuously, around the clock. Signal does not publish a machine-readable status feed, so we cannot read a verdict from them. We probe signal.org directly over HTTP, fall back to an ICMP ping if that is inconclusive, and weigh reports from visitors. That means we can tell you the service is unreachable, but not what Signal says about it. The verification tier box on this page names whichever check produced the verdict you are reading, so you can see how direct the evidence is.

Yes, at status.signal.org, and it is linked further up this page. That is Signal's own account of their service and it is the place to look for their estimate of a fix. We read it where we can, but we publish our own observations beside it rather than only repeating theirs, because an operator's status page can lag a problem their users are already hitting.

No. status.buzz is an independent monitoring site operated by LuzLab LLC, with no connection to Signal or signal.org. It reads publicly available endpoints and status feeds, and publishes what it observed. For account or billing problems you need Signal's own support, not us.
