Secure messaging service Signal is back up and running after suffering an outage caused by a surge in demand.

Signal, like another secure messaging app, Telegram, has seen its popularity soar recently amid the fallout from the Capitol riot.

On Saturday evening Signal explained that its service has been restored following a demand-related outage.

“Signal is back!” it tweeted. “Like an underdog going through a training montage, we’ve learned a lot since yesterday — and we did it together. Thanks to the millions of new Signal users around the world for your patience. Your capacity for understanding inspired us while we expanded capacity.”
