signal Got a problem since Thursday during phone number verification for a new account. An issue that began to resolve hours after an application to send encrypted messages. Meet the fast and noticeable increase in new users..
It is the result of two concrete facts: Tweets from Elon Musk and conflicting WhatsApp news.The machine responsible for sending the message, the code that allows the app to verify that the phone number is a valid one, and the possibility of registration on the platform is limited, the message does not arrive or is late.
The verification code sent by Signal to be able to verify that the phone number provided was correct, unable to send and receive normally.
New advice and conditions
Use signal

The situation was joined Thursday by a brief and clear tweet from Elon Musk that preceded these paragraphs: “Usa signal”Say and do appears to be part of the 41.5 million followers and more.
A few hours later, the Signal Twitter account warned that other providers were unable to send verification codes properly because “Lots of new people are trying to join Signal right now.”.

Elon Musk besides introducing Signal. He also took the opportunity to charge again with Facebook.If in the past few years he has criticized the company, a few hours ago he published a meme that Facebook’s advent was associated with an attack on government agencies in the United States through a domino image. The first is a brief definition of what the platform originated from and the last tab is a tweet commenting on what happened in Washington on Wednesday.
Signal uses a PIN code for a few months so it can be migrated if accidental phone access is lost, and one of the future plans for the feature is generally enabled. No longer associated accounts with phone numbers.Even if this function is not used yet.
