What should I do if Signal is down for me?

Check whether delivery is delayed rather than failed, since messages are queued and usually arrive once a backlog clears. Test a second channel or recipient domain, because incidents are often limited to one carrier, region, or mailbox provider. Confirm you have not hit a rate or spend limit, which returns the same errors as an outage. Verify your webhook endpoint is still responding, as a receiving failure on your side mimics a provider problem.

Signal is an encrypted messenger whose message delivery runs on infrastructure separate from this website. The site loading proves the project's servers answer, not that messages are being delivered.

Is Signal down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Signal normally right now, and it answered our last one in 62ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
