But of course not everyone knows that page.

It's probably also time challenging: devs notice an issue, inform the others (who e.g. might be in call), you don't know how long it will take (could be a 1 min blip), then you have to launch social media, and before your draft is ready the outage is over

A community member (with US in name, but that doesn't have to mean anything) posted the banner too, here you can see how the banner looks like: community.signalusers.org/t/signal-ser...

@signal.org also showed it on their status.signal.org page.

So they did communicate via two official channels

With the in-app notification we mean the banner in the app, not push notifications and it's unrelated to your notifications settings. The banner appeared on both mobile an Desktop during the outage and you won't see it after the outage has ressolved

Signal outage quickly resolved - AboutSignal.com Sending and receiving messages was temporarily unavailable

The outage at #Signal has now been resolved.

The issues started shortly after 5 PM CET and were resolved within 20 minutes.
