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)
