Signal down globally amid major AWS outage
The popular messaging platform Signal is currently experiencing a significant service disruption, preventing users from sending or receiving messages.
The outage, which began at approximately 9:25 AM CET, appears to be linked to a broader issue affecting Amazon Web Services (AWS), a major cloud computing provider. The disruption is not limited to Signal, as several other popular apps, including Snapchat and Canva, are also reportedly affected.
Meredith Whittaker, President of Signal, confirmed the incident on social media, stating: “We’re aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage.”
At this time, the duration of the outage remains uncertain, and users are advised to monitor official updates from Signal and AWS for further information.
The incident underscores the growing reliance of digital services on cloud infrastructure and highlights the potential for widespread disruption when major providers encounter technical failures. Signal users worldwide are currently experiencing interrupted communication, emphasizing the critical role of reliable cloud services in maintaining global connectivity. (ILKHA)
