From the graphs on downdetector.com, it seems like many other services are affected too, so I guess some underlying infra has trouble?

The desktop app has a banner that says:

> Signal is experiencing technical difficulties. We are working hard to restore service as quickly as possible.

Status page linked in the post CURRENTLY says the same.
