Signal messaging app back online after facing technical glitch for over a day

Signal, the popular cross-platform messaging app faced a global outage on January 15, just days after millions of new users downloaded it following the controversial update to WhatsApp privacy policy. The company informed people via Twitter that the app was back online and thanked the millions of new users for choosing signal. Later on, when things began coming back up at Signal, there was a mix of folks able to send but not receive messages, and conversations among certain platform combinations would work, while others didn't. On Friday, 15th January, Whatsapp announced that it has decided to postpone a privacy update by three months due to "misinformation causing concern" among its users.
