Recently, more and more people have begun to use Signal to replace WhatsApp, and the number of users has increased rapidly, and the load on the server has reached its limit. Signal had a service failure on Friday night, which has since been repaired.
Signal had problems on Friday night and some users were unable to send messages. Signal also admitted that there was a problem with the system. Later, they explained that the server capacity has been continuously increased this week. The scale is unprecedented. However, because there are too many new users, more than their most optimistic expectations, the system is overloaded. Hope the affected users will understand.
We have been adding new servers and extra capacity at a record pace every single day this week nonstop, but today exceeded even our most optimistic projections. Millions upon millions of new users are sending a message that privacy matters. We appreciate your patience.

The number of Signal users has increased a lot recently. With the “transfer tide” brought about by the new WhatsApp policy and the assistance of Elon Musk, both Signal and Telegram have recorded a very large number of new users. As a non-profit organization, how Coping with such a large-scale usage is believed to be a big challenge.
